First they forced us back to the office despite a mountain of evidence showing hybrid work is more productive.

Now they're forcing us to use AI even if it's pure garbage.

I'm so sick of these micromanaging, power-tripping buffoons. I can't wait to retire.

Holy shit this is big!

Are you telling me that giving better work conditions to your workers (and therefore making them happier) INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY?!?!

I

AM

SHOCKED.

I hope they found a good way to measure productivity, because I never came across a convincing one.

I recall reading an article the first few months into lockdown that nationally, productivity was up a surprising 17% average.

I guess commercial landlords, micromanaging bosses, and the ultra rich realized it started to loosen their grip on the rest of us and we might like our lives a little. Every article after that was the complete opposite, and basically misinformation hit everywhere hard to pound out of our minds it was ever mentioned!
