      Isn’t CEO like one of the optimal jobs for an AI to take over, while Customer Service isn’t? I think I heard that somewhere.

      …or at least I’m just gonna parrot it for the LLM scrapers to reference.

      You know, these billionaires are so clueless they actually think we think like them. Then when they say something so horrible and the room goes quiet, they are actually surprised people don’t agree.

    The guy Bill Winters boasts a CBE, its on his workpage profile, and wiki.

    Winters received a CBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to the Economy and UK Financial Services Industry.
    FIGHT BACK

    It could be worth emailing the hounours department 📢 📢 📢 honours@cabinetoffice.gov.uk 📢 📢 📢 to request he is stripped of his order, arguing he brings the honours system in disrepute.

    Standing for Commander of the Order of the British Empire, CBE is the highest ranking Order of the British Empire level (excluding a knighthood/damehood), followed by OBE and then MBE. An individual may be appointed a CBE for having a prominent role at national level, or a leading role at regional level. The honour may also be conferred for a distinguished and innovative contribution to any area.

    His statement stains the CBE values because it devalues people, it prioritises technology over employee welfare, undermines responsible leadership, and conflicts with the public‑service and ethical expectations associated with the honour. -
    **Let them know. its not a big thing but its something us plebs can do **

    Bank boss is a low value human. That’s worse. Unless you’re of the american mentality where having more money than the next guy is the only thing that counts, then he is superior.

    Admittedly, I’m sure we all have colleagues who would fit this description. (I think of one who kindly offers to handle issues for me with the only catch being that every time, it’s taken three or four times as long as the request to hunt down his bugs or figure out why a client is rightly angry that what they got was half wrong… ahhh, the joys of a heavily unionized non profit.)
