reasons. if you are doing it for the reasons you described, that would be wonderful for employees. i fear a lot of companies will use this as a way to avoid having to announce a mass layoff because when they do that, they often have to give 60 days to 90 days notice by law for everybody, and they also have to pay, of course, unemployment there are a lot of reasons why companies may want to keep you around rather than just getting rid of you. larry: so it is more of a tactic? >> i hope not. i would hope some companies, if they have other spaces available, why not keep somebody if you know they are a good worker? kristen: ai may help you avoid long zoom meetings. a public relations founder posted this picture media, writing that he was one of three living people or live

ask for them. it sounds like they are just sending them to past clients, so they have a form to fill out say you do not want them anymore, so it might be something you would like to do if you ever ordered from them. kristen: and everything is online. sandhya: do we really need a big catalog? larry: years ago, sports teams, especially football teams, would have massive catalogs like this for media relations and you could learn everything about every player. and they were gigantic, it was like carrying an encyclopedia. now all of it is online. there are a few that are printed up but most is online. kristen: does neiman marcus still do it? their christmas catalog? that would be the defining thing, if they stopped, that means the whole business has been laid to rest. we will see. a work of art that could clog your arteries? not literally but figuratively,

[applause] [laughter] anybody want to dive in? kristen: i was just thinking, what if somebody got hungry, and

they got a loaf of bread i just took a little off the nose. larry: sorry. [laughter] sandhya: you cannot destroy the work of art. kristen: why do i think of these things? larry: why doesn't this have years? how strange. that is it for the
