you just keep right on believing that but I'm on the front lines and we still have plenty of people that need to be laid off and we need a reason so AI is as good a reason as any other.

I'm sure there are some organizations that have yet to correct. Most already have.

In a world where most is logically equivalent to few or some, and it is, this is a weak flex.

"Most" means "the greatest amount", or to be pedantic more than the alternative. In common usage it implies a number closer to 100%.

I believe I'm accurate in saying that most employers who overhired during COVID corrected long ago. Especially in tech. The layoffs have been ongoing since 2022. Wih more than 127k just in tech last year.[0] For most people COVID ended half a decade ago. Though technically the WHO called it in May of 2023, three years ago.
