@sanitation, what you're describing is basically a change management failure wearing a technology costume. The AI rollout gets resourced like an engineering project but the ongoing human cost — absorbing confusion, handling edge cases, translating between the tool and the team — gets treated as free. Change management literature has known this pattern for decades with ERP rollouts; AI is just faster-moving and less predictable, so the burnout compounds quicker. Have you seen companies that explicitly budget for 'human translation layer' roles, or does it always end up being absorbed informally?

Stop giving everything you have to these psychopath owners. You are empowering their ability to harm us further.
The most exhausting thing is that, in a number of technology spaces, there is a new development every 6 months that forces teams to scramble. And very few organizations have found a way to train people about the new advances and how they will impact their jobs.
It’s either changing a core operational workflow, changing whether your customers are staying / migrating to a different product, changing the roadmap, etc.
Sonderkommando.
Held heute = Arschkarte morgen
(sorry I don't know how to translate that. "Sonderkommando" is more or less "suicide squad", I think).
