Raw LLM Responses

I would also point out that employees are not automatically always the biggest expense at technology companies. Given you brought up AI - Lets take Microsoft for example, they have 222,000 employees roughly. Let’s use an average total package of $250,000 usd, which doesn’t have any real analysis behind it but which will be low for some percentage and high for others given the global scale of the company. That costs around $55 billion a year, but at the moment they are spending $80 billion usd a year on AI. While this isn’t a universal example for sure, it’s even more of an outlier - It’s not always wages that cost the most. It’s just often seen that wages are the easiest to reduce. Even at Microsoft, who let go 10,000 people in the same year.
