    My company is forcing people to use ai and even watching tokens to be sure people are participating.

    Companies don’t give a fuck about you.

      My company is forcing people to use ai and even watching tokens to be sure people are participating.

      That sounds like a great use case for Agentic AI. Write your prompt to be something like: “Create a process that will consume X number of tokens per day. Scatter the requests throughout the workday with no more than 20 minutes between requests. Discard any generated results. Run Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM”.

      Boss: Are you using AI in your daily work as we are requiring?
      Worker: “Not only am I using it, I’ve automated one of my most annoying required tasks increasing my productivity!”

    $1mil for one item that we sell roughly 8 of a year. The other half of the factory makes a $5k-$20k item that we sell thousands of per year.

    Average salary $50k.

    So idk something like 0.0001%

    Everyone’s salary can basically be looked up at my job, including bonuses (strong union). We generate electricity for a ton of people. The value added for us would be more in line with improving tech/safety for engineers like me. Millions go into that annually if you count preventative maintenance, equipment and things like that. Big profits on high generation times can be paid out in generating bonuses spread among operations. I’m happy where I’m at, I recognize that I’m in the minority in that regard.

    I work at a smaller company, everyone has to carry their weight, and the owner pays about double the industry average. He always says I would rather have shit equipment and good techs, than good equipment and shit techs. Obviously we want both, but if push comes to shove, you pay for the right people, because that’s harder to replace than a machine.
