Austin-based TTEC, valued at $2 billion, paused its 401(k) match program for 16,000 workers to fund AI initiatives. Meanwhile, Starbucks (SBUX) tied part of tech workers' bonuses to AI usage. Teradata, a global cloud software company, denied annual raises to 5,100 employees to redirect funds towards AI.
