    Even more simply, demand is drying up as people are getting squeezed from small wage gains and huge inflation. Low demand for goods and incessant demand for “stakeholder value” means cuts have to come. If they’re not in quality, it’s in overhead (staff) - or both. And now bosses have excuses for both back-office and production staff - “automation” and “AI” respectively.
