My cousin keeps calling AI layoffs fake news because her office in Columbus is fine
My cousin works at a small insurance place in Columbus and keeps saying the AI job stuff is overblown because nobody at her office got cut. But she forgets they quietly stopped hiring two junior claims people in March and just split that work between three of them. I tried to point out that the job loss shows up as open roles that never get filled, not just pink slips, and she waved it off. People keep looking for a big dramatic layoff moment and missing the slow part where the jobs just stop existing. How do you even show someone like that what's happening when their own team looks normal from the inside?
