      Sounds like the culprit is much more likely to be the uncertainty around the CH-US trade relations and its effect on the CHF and the Swiss economy…

      I’m sure it’s not because of near-shoring, right?

      Coincidentally let me tell you that the new Toblerone from Slovakia is so delicious. Yum!

      Well would you admit your own greed, especially when you can have such a simple scapegoat as AI?

      I hate that AI is providing an excuse for companies laying off people in Switzerland and outsourcing in a cheaper country while giving the higher ups pay raise. I hope karma bites the asses of those at The Post and Swisscom and else who do that.

      This is definitely an excuse. It’s just the trend for big corpos right now to lay off. 

      Once one starts, the holy shareholders will start asking their company why they aren’t laying off. And then the floodgates are open.

      AI is just used as an excused for offshoring jobs. “we’re just following totally legit market trends and not actively and strategically undercutting jobs where we’re based to maximize profits”

      The offshoring/nearshoring is quite short-sighted:
      If all the expertise is held by foreign service providers, what eventually happens when they decide to go directly into the business they are experts at?

      Gutting local competence is a sure fire way to cut yourself into irrelevance.
