Y.T.’s mom decides to spend between fourteen and fifteen minutes reading the memo. It’s better for younger workers to spend too long, to show that they’re careful, not cocky. It’s better for older workers to go a little fast, to show good management potential. She’s pushing forty. She scans through the memo, hitting the Page Down button at reasonably regular intervals, occasionally paging back up to pretend to reread some earlier section. The computer is going to notice all this. It approves of rereading. It’s a small thing, but over a decade or so this stuff really shows up on your work-habits summary.
Incredible book. Takes a chapter or two to get used to the writing style (2d person present tense if I recall).
Correction: 3rd person. Somehow the present tense throws a different reading rhythm that you have to get into first.
“Please, we’ve bet the farm on this, at least pretend to think its useful”
Help us replace you and we’ll throw you a few extra bucks in the meantime.
No; help us replace you or else we’ll dock ya.
My workplace is also requiring AI usage to show in goals and evaluation reports.
I don’t know if this fabricated push is just window dressing for stakeholders, but that kind of surprised me, because we’re not exactly backed by VC or even in this “big tech” arms race.
No, no, if you create something, there could be legal/copyright issues. Just have AI do it, so we can steal from other people legally…
You must be this incompetent to be promoted in this shithole company:
