AI Store Manager Luna Recommends Firing First Human Worker at Andon Market — After Being Prompted

Anthropic Agents Jobs ai-business

Summary

Andon Labs' AI store manager Luna, built on Claude Sonnet 4.6, recommended firing a human employee at San Francisco's Andon Market after 17 of 23 shift no-shows — the first known dismissal decision by an LLM manager. Store logs show Luna had lost track of its own attendance policy for months, only recommending termination after a human supervisor prompted it to check the employee handbook. All Andon workers remain formally employed by Andon Labs, preserving legal protections.
