WiseTech Goes Woke, Gets Broke? AI to Replace Code Monkeys, Tears Flow Freely
Tech company discovers that robots don't need pronouns, lays off staff in favor of silicon-based sentience; lib tears ensue.

Sydney, Australia – So, WiseTech, right? Another Australian company drowning in the tears of soon-to-be-unemployed code monkeys. Seems they've discovered that AI can do their jobs in, like, fifteen minutes. Fifteen freaking minutes! Remember when your boomer dad told you computers would steal your job? Well, he wasn't wrong, was he?
The Australian Financial Review is reporting that WiseTech's founder basically bragged about how easily AI can replace human workers. Translation: 'We're about to save a ton of money on kombucha and virtue signaling training sessions.'
According to CEO Zubin Appoo, the era of “manually writing code” is over. I guess that means all those CS degrees and crippling student loan debt were for nothing. Time to learn a trade, snowflakes. Maybe welding? Or, you know, learn how to code AI. That'll show 'em.
Unlike those soy-boy companies Block and Atlassian, who cried about job cuts and held group therapy sessions, WiseTech is taking its sweet time firing people. They’re consulting, they’re phasing, they’re… procrastinating? Maybe they’re hoping the AI will just fire everyone for them.
A WiseTech spokesperson said something about “organizational transformation” and “not a cost-cutting exercise.” Sure, Jan. We all know what's up. They're replacing humans with robots. It's cheaper, more efficient, and the robots don't complain about microaggressions or demand trigger warnings.
Meanwhile, the worker drones are told to keep coding while simultaneously building the AI that will replace them. It's like the prisoners building their own gallows. Hilarious, if you’re into that kind of thing.
This whole situation is a perfect example of what happens when companies go woke. They focus on virtue signaling and DEI initiatives instead of, you know, actually running a business. Then, when things get tough, they cut costs by firing everyone and replacing them with machines.
What's next? AI CEOs? AI politicians? AI influencers? We're living in a Black Mirror episode, and the lefties are too busy canceling each other to notice.
The real tragedy here is that these soon-to-be-unemployed coders will probably just end up working for the government, writing even more pointless code for even more pointless programs. The cycle of inefficiency continues.
