- Comment on Google employee made redundant after reporting sexual harassment, court hears 1 week ago:
That’s not quite true, it’s a very specific reason for losing your job. If you are fired for doing a bad job, and said you were made redundant, that would be a lie. Redundancy is about the role, not the individual.
- Comment on Google employee made redundant after reporting sexual harassment, court hears 1 week ago:
It’s not quite the same thing. If you are ‘fired’ that’s generally to do with performance or conduct of the individual. Redundancy is about not needing (or affording) the role any more (i.e. it is redundant). There are specific legal protections for each case that work quite differently. (You cannot rehire for the same position after a redundancy, for example)

Why would you use an LLM for this? This sounds like a process easily handles by conventional logic, which would be cheaper, faster, and actually reliable… (The ‘notes’ part notwithstanding I guess, but calculations in general are definitely not a good use of an LLM)

Grew up on Armada and Away Team, but of those, Away Team was definitely my favourite!
More recently played Elite Force, which was also pretty dang great.
