That has nothing to do with AI.

It is happening due to global economic conditions.

Im not saying the bench doesn't exist, Im saying its not full of people because you have two consultants doing all 59 jobs with AI.

There are definitely places making cuts of staff who are not on the bench.

You have a team of two consultants, for what used to be a team of five, kind of.

No need to take the 69 out of a magic hat.

The other three join the on bench pool.

When economy gets worse, the lucky two are the ones staying.

> kind of

This is arbitrary nonsense.

What “big consultancy” has 5 developers?

What are you even talking about?

The number 5 was obviously taken for the sake of illustration. The comment might as well have said 5,000 and not changed much.

(I have no opinion on the quality of that comment otherwise. But complaining about an illustrative number is weird.)
