"Is everyone short-staffed?": Workers everywhere wonder how and why seemingly every workplace is operating at a near-permanent reduction in staffing levels

Companies across different industries and sectors are pushing layoffs. Justifying these job losses under the guise of AI improvements and efficiencies. But I keep returning to the same thought: I haven't seen AI actually take anyone's job yet. Have you?Don't get me wrong. Jobs are vacant and disappearing. Everywhere is short-staffed, but I have yet to see evidence that an AI is actually doing that work. It has always just been pushed onto the remaining team members.
