More done + more leisure.

That's how it's sold, but have you heard about any major tech company that sends their worker home when they've achieved what they used to achieve pre-AI?

EDIT: Instead of simply down-voting, you're welcome to name examples that proves me wrong ;)

This is anecdotal, but I know that a lot of my coworkers and coasting and putting up one AI generated PR per day which they've hardly even self reviewed.

In a good company that will come back to bite them next performance review.

So, if it doesn't then you learned something about your workplace (and it's not good).

In a good company that should be discussed in the next 1:1s so actual change can happen meanwhile. If it just waits for the end of year review, then it's not a good company.

Sure. I meant if they are stubborn.

Middle management was all cut so all managers have 30 direct reports and "Don't have time" to do more than a couple 1:1s per year.

These individuals are demonstrating that they can be replaced with AI. I worry for them.

The only way that you can translate productivity gains into more free time in a salaried position is by working remotely. Seems obvious, no?

Is it used afterwards or done and forgotten?
