The office worker has learned to dread the annual review. For many good reasons.
It’s going away.
Now, like workers on the factory floor, it’s likely that the metrics will be exposed and the system will be contributing a review, not just the boss. AI will show up with your score, once a day, or even more often.
It will read your email, watch your clicks and listen to your calls. The relentless deskilling pursued by bosses is pushing each of us to work for an AI.
The better alternative is to have an AI work for you. Upskilling is the best response to the race to the bottom–leadership and projects, not tasks. We can start now before it’s too late.
