Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI

You will work three days in one job, and then another three on another job in order to pay the rent. And then you'll need a side hustle and a Sunday job to afford food.

Fucking lol.

IF they get an 80% productivity boost and can choose to either:

A) Maintain staffing, maintain pay, only make workers work 3 days a week.

B) Fire 60% of staff, maintain 5 days a week, and freeze raises because the market is now awash with newly laid off people

What do YOU think they're gonna do?

yeah, that’s such fucking bullshit. Why the hell would they ever fucking do that when they can just hire one person and work them 10 times as hard for five days a week and leave the rest of us unemployed. It makes zero economic sense. AI is not here to solvethe world‘s problems. It’s here to solve the wage problems and it is well on its way.

With a 7 day week for those fixing it's mistakes

Productivity has more than doubled since the 5 day workweek was introduced ¹. We could have that right now. At least a four day work week has been proven to be more productive in multiple studies.

So what can AI do that hasn't already been done?

^{1 Fought and died for}

Hahahahaha The only reason we have a 5 day workweek is the labor movement. Capitalists then love to saunter up later with their new tech saying they can shave a few more days off. Does it ever happen? Nope. You get new work and they pocket the savings.

Looks like his pants are on fire... weird.

CEOs only act in the interests of shareholders. Any claims they make about things benefiting workers are utter horseshit.

Should happen without AI

Nah, instead people who work will continue being stuck in a constant crunch time. There will only be more unemployed people and the owners and shareholders will continue to pocket the extra profit.

Ah yes, because these pricks certainly care about a sustainable wage and not just not wanting to pay another 16 hours or more per week.

Sounds like total crap, 3-day work week maybe in 100 years, the world will have moved to flying cars before that'll happen.

So everyone needs two jobs plus paying out of pocket for what were full-time benefits?

The only reason they would consider a 3 day work week is to make all their employees "part time" and deny them benefits.

Just like trickle down economics!

As others have said, only reason they'd offer 3 day work weeks is to avoid health care, full time benefits.

Jensen Huang, huh? The same guy in charge of Nvidia and their massive AI chip market? Mmmmkaaaayyy

I do feel like some facilities are using AI to calculate their OEE because holy shit that's some inflation Batman.

Does zoom work a 3 day workweek now? Surely he could help make that happen in a short matter of time. Put your money where your mouth is.
