Based on the article, my understanding is that the people fired were unwilling to "onboard".

I assume "onboard" means something like "set up an account and get it working locally".

One week is a big part of the idiocy here. Anyone half busy with anything is going to miss miscellaneous bullshit from management like this, especially when management is prone to these "flights of fancy" with random tooling or the new hot thing.

I personally ignore or delay things all the time because of actual work I'm doing. If running some random AI tool is more important than "keep the company working," that's a really sick and fragile culture.
