The company I work for, doing pest control, is using AI exclusively for training everyone. Even I as a higher level manager am subject to weekly AI bullshit training. We have a kpi now relating to our employees “scores” on this bullshit. I’ve pointed out multiple times that even when the test is taken again due to a failing grade or whatever, it doesn’t actually change the score or anything. I was told to just manually change it. These guys raises are being dictated by this bullshit and most of the time the questions are ambiguous as fuck and the correct answer will score wrong. I hate it so much.
Yep, it’s not just the customer side that has to face this force-feeding, it’s also being done internally. I’m not aware of AI usage being tracked in my company, but they’re constantly encouraging us to use it and highlighting stories of people who have used it.
Was in some training the other day and the instructor offhand mentioned he was required to work in a specific AI IDE for a certain number of hours a week.
I wish it was limited to FAANG, but no - even my smallish 300 person company is investing millions into corpo AI services and expecting employees to get on board.
Decision makers here are so confident they are already reducing headcount while expecting the remaining employees to “use AI” (without further elaboration) to pick up the slack, going so far to say if employees are not using AI daily, they are directly responsible for stifling team productivity.
I sincerely hope my employer just sucks and this isn’t the way the world is trending.
“How about no” until your employer turns “Weekly AI use” into a dumb ass KPI
My employer insisted we each provide a prompt for the prompt library. I used the AI to generate one for me to submit.
GIGO
