Bosses *love* AI and there's plenty of evidence that they're positively *harassing* the people who work for them with demands to use AI in their work: www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/c...reddit.comFrom the antiwork community on RedditExplore this post and more from the antiwork community 210712

Thank You For Your Extension To This Antimatter @doczmail.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Bosses don't *really* love Ai. They love bragging to their friends about how wonderfully productive their business has become since they incorporated AI. Which they can't do if it's not actually being used. Boards of Directors, OTOH, *they* love AI. Because they hear all that bragging. 020
