#productivity

The title says it all. We’ve got so much in the way of cybersecurity, spyware, performance monitoring, key logging, etc, that it’s negatively impacting the usability of laptops. Forget blaming the usual sources like Microsoft, or support, this is clearly a self-inflicted wound if you take a look at the application stack consuming a good percentage of your system’s resources.

Dock and undock? Best of luck with that. You’re in for at least a minute or more of zombie mode before the state change is recognized.

Standby? Good luck. Your notebook will continue to run in your bag despite selecting standby. It’s overheat or run out of battery which ever comes first.

At what point do all these "ideation" sessions and powerpoints revolving around AI amount to actual working products in production and increased productivity? We are on year 3 of the company mindlessly pushing this cr-p on people, and all we have to show for it is document summarizing and code review "agents".

When is the board going to ask Candyman when these multiplicative productivity increases that he promised are going to materialize? When will there be an expected return on investment for all this money lit on fire for AI? Cuz right now its all just charlatans making GPT wrappers and demoing to clapping seals while it bugs out

Anyone else wonder if productivity has diminished with the 4 day a week requirement? Everyone was already burnt out from the ever growing workload. Add the commute and I continue to see people’s ability to care fading away.

You can’t drop a layoff announcement and then expect everyone to act like nothing happened.

Letting people go to improve results is short-sighted and self-defeating. It doesn’t solve anything and just shifts the pressure onto those who remain, making everyone miserable and less productive.

“I don’t want to get rid of a bunch of people right now,” Robbins told CNBC last week, stressing that AI was meant to boost productivity, not reduce headcount. “I just want our engineers that we have today to innovate faster and be more productive. That gives us a competitive advantage.”

Silicon Valley tech giants to cut hundreds of Bay Area jobs AGAIN!!!

Schwawesome Leaders, Where is the efficiency gained by AI? Whose head should roll?

It was a long Monday. Everyone can do what they want, but don't complete surveys. They’re seeking legitimacy for pre-planned actions. The only survey should be work output. That’s the bottom line.

Curious how coffee badging is kept track of when there is no exit badging. Is there additional monitoring going on? Does anyone know how this is kept track of?
