It's a problem that shows up because managers don't know what their employees are doing.

The solution is to require managers to do actual work with 20% of their time (or even 10% might be enough). If they can't do it, then they aren't qualified to manage in the industry.

Comment Re:Why 'better algorithms'? (Score 1) 111

If there's no algorithm, there's no algorithm to game, and a lot of this awful goes away. See posts from those I choose to follow. Period

On Twitter, click on the tab that says "Following." Never click on the tab that says "For You." It's not for you, it's for advertisers.

Then you will only see things from people you follow.

You don't need to hire a prompt engineer. Just ask ChatGPT to write prompts for Copilot. If you run into trouble just ask Claude to clarify.

I have a Perl script that chains 17 different AI Agents together. It takes the output from one and puts it into the output of the other. At the suggestion of my psychologist (Abby), I combined the output of some of the agents together in a tree. Now it all flows together in and out like a mysterious river. Fortunately I'm paid in LOC. I doublespace.

So, why did your productivity, creativity and cooperative solutioning all suffer during COVID? Did you fail to provide good communication tools to your team? Did you not use Slack or IRC? Did you fail to have appropriate team building meetings? Did you not assign tasks properly? What were you doing (or not doing) that caused problems?

Because frankly, your post sounds like bullshit.

Productivity isn't the goal. Productivity matters in cutthroat industries where price is the only differentiator.

For most companies, the goal of effective middle management is to get promoted, and backstab your coworkers. You do that by making your underlings less efficient so you can hire more of them.
