How does this work? Say he had 100 employees, he lays off 80, now he has 20, he lays off 16, now he has 4, will he lay off 3 and make the last one part time, constantly cutting their hours by 80% and approaching but never getting to zero?

He has to hire 100 new people everytime, 80 to actually do the work, as before, and 20 to fix what AI broke
