Being dismissed by a computer, the real director cannot save this guy

Ibrahim Diallo was fired when he did it in August while signing a 3-year contract with the company. It is worth mentioning that it is the company's computer system that has done this, but his manager is a real person who can do nothing even if Ibrahim Diallo does not do anything wrong.

Amazed and angry, Ibrahim Diallo wrote a blog post to explain and give a warning to companies relying too much on automated technology. He said that for companies automation is a valuable asset but there needs to be a way for people to control the situation when the machine causes errors.

The story of Ibrahim Diallo takes place as follows:

On a normal working day like any other day, Ibrahim Diallo swiped his card into and out of the company many times but failed. Given that this is the system's fault, Diallo thanks for his protection. Later, he went to meet his manager to report on the incident and received the promise of a new entry card.

But when I turned on my computer, Diallo saw my work account being logged out of the system. His colleague, after entering the system, said that on the work list next to his name, the words "Inactive" appeared.

And every bad thing started happening. After lunch, Diallo had to wait 10 minutes outside the building to wait for his friend to take him back to his office. Later, he received a notice from his manager stating that she received an email indicating his contract was canceled.

The next day, Ibrahim Diallo was amazed to find that he was no longer in any system. Even after lunch two security personnel appeared at his desk and said they received an email asking to escort him out of the building.

Diallo said he was fired while his direct manager and director were helpless. At that time, signed a 3-year contract with the company and is at 8 months. For the next three weeks, he contacted the company via email to discuss the incident.

"Things have become more and more important while nobody can do anything. Sometimes, I receive an email from the system with a red font as if it is judging my fate."

He made a bitter conclusion: "This system is looking for a person to kill and I became its first victim."

It took three weeks for Diallo's manager to know that the cause of the incident was because his former manager did not renew Diallo's contract on the new system. After going through the process of change, automated machines became the company's new HR management and fired Mr. Diallo as one of the first things it did.

"All orders needed to fire an employee are automatically sent by the system, an activated command will trigger the next command again. '

'For example, when the system locks an access card, it will never be reactivated. When the card is locked, an email will be sent to the security department informing the employee who is fired with a sign that the access card is not accepted. The ban on login to work account will be activated and everything goes on continuously. '

After 3 weeks of resolution, Diallo was returned to work, but he was not paid for that period, constantly explaining his disappearance and the most sad thing was being escorted out. leave the building "like a thief".

In the end, Diallo decided to quit his job and transfer to another company.

Dave Coplin, an expert in artificial intelligence, saw Ibrahim Diallo's story as a warning about people facing machines rather than machines to support people.
