This feels like a construction company demanding that everyone, from drywaller to admin assistant, go out and buy a drill.

- steveBK123 8mo agoThis is literally happening in non-tech finance firms where people in non-tech roles are being judged on their AI adoption.
- MattGaiser 8mo agoSome companies swear by this. CP Rail is notorious for training everyone to drive a train.
- SketchySeaBeast 8mo agoThat kind of makes sense philosophically if your business is trains, but I don't think that their business was AI agents. Although given they have a VP of AI, I have no idea. What a crazy title.
- munk-a 8mo agoCan I modify your example to: Demanding everyone, from drywaller to admin assistant go out and buy a purple colored drill, never use any other colored drill, and use their purple drill for at least fifty minutes a day (to be confirmed by measuring battery charge).
- SketchySeaBeast 8mo agoBetter, yeah.
- munk-a 8mo agoAwesome, with that new policy we'll be sure to justify my purple drill evangelist role by showing that our average employee is dependent on purple drills for at least 1/8th of their workload. Who knew that our employees would so quickly embrace the new technology. Now the board can't cut me!
- steveBK123 8mo agoIt's really cascaded down too. Each department head needs to incorporate into their annual business plan how they are going to use a drill as part of their job in accounting/administration/mailroom. Throughout the year, must coordinate training & enforce attendance for the people in their department with drill training mandated by the Head of Drilling. And then they must comply with and meet drilling utilization metrics in order to meet their annual goals. Drilling cannot be fail, it can only be failed.
