#1 I remember when computers arrived. More money, more free time and a positive impact on humanity. Actual result was staff cuts. No benefits as presented. Now with AI the same rosy picture of the future. The upper management of the corporate world loves AI. Useful tool to cut management overhead. People again only seem to be an expense, an overhead. Improve bottom line while elite ride above the storm. Lose contact with contacts and you lose market share very fast.

Railroad massively recruited people and overwhelmed staff. Two week newbie had trainer first week. Second week alone and was killed.Trainers recalled for update to prevent another death. Goal was just to massively infuse new workers(bonuses offered headhunters).

#2 I've been on T-Mobile for 10+ years, and the service has steadily, gradually gotten worse every year. I originally switched while working at a T-Mobile competitor, and it was cheaper than my employer's service even with the employee discount.

#3 My last couple of visits to a T-Mobile shop did not instill confidence in the quality of employees. The one time, the clerk was more interested in what popped up on her cell phone than giving me, a potential customer, a modicum of attention. The next time, the guy, while going through the motions in "assisting' me, was more concerned with his dance moves.

They've also had a data breach or two. What a joke.
