I’m afraid to think that this “no humans allowed in the workplace “ trend is only going to get worse. I’ve experienced too much of the same: gaslighting, being setup for failure, given more work than three people could handle, all to be terminated (twice) just before Christmas.
Those of us who refuse to give up our souls and our minds need to do something. We should at least come up with a secret handshake or publish a list of employers that still hire real people.

I’ve lost so much to monsters like the ex-people you describe here. I hope that they will just let us go work for quality companies while they pursue the highest greed for the sociopaths up top. I have my doubts as , so far, they’ve been very vindictive.
Take care. Thanks for sharing your story.
