Forcing AI on to employees is the norm for companies nowadays. Employees can't speak out against it directly, because doing so would negatively impact their performance review or perceived cultural fit, when layoffs in tech are also common.

Sounds almost identical to a Telsa fire a few blocks away from me in Toronto last year. Four people burned to death inside when rescuers could not open the doors. Horrifying.
