We are spending countless billions into AI bullshit and forcing everyone to train it to replace their own careers with no plan for them when that happens, most places haven't been even giving CoL raises or promotions, most forced everyone to start driving back into the office for no reason even though we all proved that remote work was far better in every metric, again wasting even more of their time and money. Everything is becoming 1984 dystopian, everything is being tracked and monitored and videoed and data collected on you all just to maximize how much they can exploit out of you. And we work our asses off for all that and take home just enough pay to hopefully not starve or go homeless. (And more than ever are sinking below that baseline)
And the C suit morons STILL can't figure out why millions of workers are at an all-time low morale?
Incredible. These guys could throw a rock at the ground and miss. They would starve in a grocery store. They couldn't find a tree in a forest. And other mocking jests.
Crazy thought. Let people WFH again. Pay them a living wage at MINIMUM. Reign in the AI bullshit and only use it where it makes sense, don't force it. Treat your employees as humans. Don't be evil. Tell the truth. Value their contributions and skill and knowledge and ethics. Stop punishing them and instead set them up for success and enable them and watch what happens.
