> Management felt like employees weren't leveraging AI fast enough.
If my productivity is in line with their expectations, I don’t understand why management cares what tools I’m using to do it. No employer ever told me to use emacs instead of vi, even though I’m 10x more productive in one vs the other. So why all of a sudden does management need to micromanage my tools?
Because they're reading blog posts and listening to podcasts that increase their expectations of what your output should be.
Your productivity isn’t in line with their expectations. Maybe your immediate manager but not the executives. That’s why they are doing it.
Their expectations aren't based in reality so I'm not sure why anyone should care
Edit: I mean besides the obvious of "because they will fire you if you don't care"
But idk. They're aiming to fire me eventually and have AI do 100% of my job so meh. Fire me now instead of later.
It's FOMO all the way down.
