Then_Potential_0909's journey

I recently learned that Workday is planning layoffs at the management level as part of a restructuring effort. The goal seems to be to streamline their product and technology teams by reducing the number of managers, which they believe will help improve efficiency and speed up processes globally. It's not public yet, but there's a lot of speculation about whether this will lead to more off-shore work or if management positions in the US will be cut. I'm keeping an eye on this situation as it develops.

I recently found myself in a frustrating situation at my current job. The company decided to stop providing subscriptions for generative AI tools due to budget constraints. While management allocated licenses to all tech workers funded by client projects, I noticed that I was not assigned or extended a license. This was particularly disheartening since I'm currently in my notice period. Despite my resignation, I'm still working hard to complete my coding tasks and providing knowledge transfer to my team. However, I can't help but feel a bit awkward about the manual coding I'm doing, especially when I know there are tools that could make my work easier. I’m considering reaching out to management to request access to the AI tools until I finish my work, but I’m hesitant to do so. It’s disappointing to not have been informed about the decision regarding the license, and it feels like a reflection of how the workplace treats employees who are leaving.
