Harvard Business Review's survey of 1,006 global executives: 60% reduced headcount anticipating AI's impact, but only 2% tied cuts to actual AI implementation. Now 55% regret it — over a third rehired 50%+ of eliminated roles within six months. Only 20% say AI fully replaced roles without operational issues. This is the empirical counter-narrative to "AI replaces everyone." (HR Executive)
