Skims Pays Cash To Replace Accountants With AI, Drama Ensues
Emma Grede, cofounder behind Skims and Good American, is bribing employees with bonuses to cozy up with AIābecause nothing screams future like accountants outsmarting marketing teams.

It wasn't the creatives but the accounts department who used AI to pugilist-style punch chargebacks, saving 'hundreds of thousands of dollars.' Meanwhile, Grede still sees candidates asking about work-life balance as a 'red flag,' because apparently, success equals a 24/7 cuddle with your job. So, if you arenāt AI-flirting yet, consider yourselves already obsolete.
