Going on record to say that for any company in America given the choice between
1. AI productivity gains mean our 10,000 employees can work 4 days a week.
2. AI productivity gains mean we can layoff 2,000 employees and have 8,000 people work 5 days a week.
None will choose option (1).
![C. The Subject Judge's Initial Response and Follow-up Emails
Later that same day, the Subject Judge submitted a response. lº The Subject Judge characterized the allegations as "outrageous" and "baseless" and specifically denied each one." Apparently aware that Law Clerk A was the source of the allegations, the Subject Judge noted that the judge had repeatedly chastised Law Clerk A for performance issues, including "being on [the clerk's] cell phone in court and in the office," "arriving to the office late," and wearing attire that the judge considered "too casual."
