Dit rapport zouden alle leidinggevenden moeten lezen. Maar ja, ook die zijn druk. Mijn ervaring is dat er maar weinig managers zijn die zowel de zakelijke als menselijke kant goed kunnen balanceren...
"Langdurig psychisch verzuim komt zelden uit de lucht vallen. Werknemers voelen het lang van tevoren aankomen. Maar leidinggevenden missen de signalen dat het scheef zit, blijkt uit cijfers van ziekteverzuimbegeleider Acture."

@nixCraft the only options I can see are 3:
Compliance:
- One does as #TechIlliterate #managers demands, which will as a statistical inevitability get one scapegoated & fired for the #AIslop fucking up.
Malicious Compliance:
- Showing all the " #AI " #slop failures to management whilst refusing to merge it, which will get one burned out doing 80+ hours/week work at pay of ≤40hrs/week.
Non-Compliance:
- Disregarding any "AI" mandates openly & doing a good job anyway and risk getting fired.
Manager Who Says ‘We’re Like a Family Here’ Willing To Testify Against Any Employee
Two legal scholars assert that AI, by its very design, undermines democratic institutions, even when used properly.
They highlight three corrosive "affordances":
• atrophy of expertise,
• moral decisions short-circuited,
• social isolation, which undermines dissent and agency.

Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life. They are the mechanisms through which complex societies encourage cooperation and stability, while also adapting to changing circumstances. The real superpower of institutions is their ability to evolve and adapt within a hierarchy of authority and a framework for roles and rules, while maintaining legitimacy for the knowledge produced and the actions taken. Purpose-driven institutions built around transparency, cooperation, and accountability empower individuals to take intellectual risks and challenge the status quo. This happens through the machinations of interpersonal relationships within those institutions, which broaden perspectives and strengthen shared commitment to civic goals. Unfortunately, the affordances of AI systems extinguish these institutional features at every turn. In this essay, we make one simple point: AI systems are built to function in ways that degrade and are likely to destroy our crucial civic institutions. The affordances of AI systems erode expertise, short-circuit decision-making, and isolate people from each other. They are anathema to the kind of evolution, transparency, cooperation, and accountability that give vital institutions their purpose and sustainability. In short, current AI systems are a death sentence for civic institutions, and we should treat them as such.
It is natural for an organisation to sideline process improvement initiatives.

@alexglow Also I've yet to find someone genuinely liking "Open Plan Offices" that isn't some sociopath who isn't working in one themselves but loves a post-privacy, corporate surveillance architecture, believing workers are gonna steal from them if they didn't feel constantly breathed down their necks…

Teams that switch to one-week sprints typically see faster stakeholder alignment, earlier detection of scope creep, and a stronger habit of saying no to low-value work. For small teams in fast-moving product environments, the tighter loop often reveals that half of what was planned for week two was already obsolete by the end of week one.

This works especially well for mid size product teams in tech that are tired of pretending they can predict the future. Try it for two sprints. You will not go back.
