    That sounds about right. Incredible that they dove into it so completely, and having a bot handle their HR sounds like they’re spoiling to get fucking wrecked in court, at least at this stage. So, what makes you say they won’t reverse course? The cost savings are worth the lost performance, or they just haven’t/won’t see(n) the writing on the wall?
