    Don’t forget that it costs money to hire someone:

    • Time spent going through resumes,
    • time spent conducting interviews,
    • time spent doing background checks,
    • time spent doing documentation, AANNDD
    • time to train them

      Eh, they’ll just ask a LLM to do that for them. More efficient that way.

      I really hope that all the former employees ask for more money than they were originally on.

    If you are still using this bank you are a fool for trusting people that dumb with your money.

    Yep, because one of the biggest software companies Atlassian told them all companies had to do it, or crumble. I guess maybe Comm Bank has them as a client/provider.

      Which is hilarious because Atlassian sites (yes, even the white label ones) look like shit.
