This international group announces its desire to halve its workforce in France to replace them with AI (artificial intelligence). Questioned on BFM TV, an employee specifies that her colleagues are “in shock at this announcement”.
Employees are in shock at this announcement
“Honestly, the people working here are amazed.“, explains this elected member of the Onclusive staff; “I don’t see numbers, I see people. People who have worked in this company for a very long time. Most of us are seniors in quotes and here we are in shock“, she admits without hesitation.
Major economic players are clients of the company
The work of the employees who will soon be dismissed consists of compiling press articles and providing summaries to major economic players such as CAC40 companies but also the European Commission, public services and ministries. From now on, ‘robots’ (AI) will carry out these tasks.
These profound changes are necessary for the sustainability of society
For Onclusive’s management, “these profound changes are necessary for the sustainability of the company”. On BFM, an FO union delegate hopes for a hint of humanity from the media monitoring company: “I hope that the management will hear us, will understand the anger of the people, will also understand the economic disaster that is behind all of this“, says the Force Ouvrière delegate.
In a press release published at the end of last week, Onclusive ensures that it has thought carefully before making this announcement: “These “new technologies and tools” will provide our customers with faster and more reliable service”.
