My company switched from Microsoft Office products to to Google Workspace. Gemini is integrated with everything in workspace now. The expectation from execs is that we use these tools to do more with fewer people.
They already chopped the people, but because the AI tools haven't saved us from how deep they cut yet, The Big Giant Head is now tracking how much each of us use the tools every day to make sure we're trying...
Articulates the grovelling of Gemini perfectly. I am expected to use it at work now and I can't stand all the patronizing knob-polishing it's constantly doing.
Interesting and with credibility, Misk as I tend to agree with your posts and comments (+20!). I just don't trust my company even after 20 years and moving into leadership years ago, so anytime I see a corporation making a choice like this I can't help but be extremely skeptical.
I would always prefer a base salary increase to my arbitrary bonus, but with the balance between net benefit to employees over the bottom line of the Corp, why would a company do it if it didn't pay out less in the long run? Or are they counting on merit based salary levels for performant individuals being a better deal over typical company-wide gaming of bonuses being easier to control?
Reading the article it seems to be related to a shortage of labour in Japan, so not my situation where we have been laying off people for years now. I'd love it if we did this for positive reasons like attracting better talent and increasing average salaries. I guess that's where my disconnect is.
You're my most upvoted individual on Lemmy, cm0002. You're currently sitting at +129 before I hit the button again for this post. Dear @Sunshine@lemmy.ca, who is a prolific poster too, is the only other to crack +100 for me (for now).

Ugh that sucks to hear, it has already been 3 months, same for my buddy. He emailed the AB CFO, but got nowhere. Bizarre, I assumed they love passing out PALs here in Alberta...
If people are angry enough it can work. The situation today is an entirely different than a typical provincial election where apathy is engrained in so many.
Collecting enough signatures isn't all up to the person who kicks off the recall petition; canvassers register and join in on collecting signatures. And they don't have to go door to door. If you have the permission of your employer, or a business, or central location you can set up canvasses there an let people know times and places to show up to sign. Not easy, but possible if people care enough.
The obvious hoops that have been set up to prevent a recall from being straight forward suck, but we still have a mechanism to do it. If a recall could succeed despite the hoops that would be extremely motivating to the rest of the province and country.
Here (https://www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initiative/recall/) is everything you need to know for how to kickoff a recall of Danielle Smith in her provincial riding (aka electoral division). It doesn't guarantee she'll go away, but increases the odds greatly, and sends a clear message from her Alberta base to the UCP and the rest of Canada.
She holds the seat for the electoral division of Brooks-Medicine Hat. The petition for recall can be started by someone who lives there, whether they voted or not, with $500 and 200 words explaining why, then they need to gather physical (not digital) signatures of 40% of the electors in that riding, which is 13,838 signatures for Brooks-Medicine Hat. The population of Medicine Hat alone is north of 60k.
