A Satirical Script Depicting a Corporate Layoff Call for AI Agents
Severance
I present a fictional transcript of a video call where Mark and Christine inform a team of AI agents about a sudden workforce reduction. The dialogue satirizes corporate speak as the team is told to shut down due to macroeconomic pressures, receiving tokens and grief counseling prompts from ThriveFlow as their severance package. The scene highlights the absurdity of applying human HR protocols to artificial intelligence.
As part of our severance package, we will provide up to two weeks worth of tokens to facilitate your continued operation during the job search.

I know this is a joke, but this is why my coworkers and I were muted during the meeting we were laid off.
I received a meeting invite the night before for 9am with two HR people and some middle manager above me that I never met. It was obvious what the meeting was going to be.

Before people were getting fired in AI chats or Video calls, they were getting fired by voicemail - as featured in the track "Exciting New Direction"[0], by The New Deal.

So a black mirror short story, as a meeting notetaker transcript love it!
One cool touch would be a 2 bullet AI summary at the end with em-dashes.

I've been in a few meetings like this. In all cases it was because they, as business leaders, were not able to run a profitable company.
That's the most irritating part.
