With all of the accusations of posts being bots, I began to think of my over posting and decided to just group together stuff I found that correlate with each other. I've mostly run into stuff about jobs and remote work, so here we go.
First up, managers believe people who work in an office work better because they are being monitored.
This follows up with the second article, people seeking jobs and jobs being offered have shown a decline in remote work. It doesn't really show much because the remote workers want a desk at random times away from their house.
However, the third article shows that the bosses and workers may just be using weaponized incompetence. This is where someone feigns incompetence so others will do their work. Bosses use that to have underlings work harder.
At the same time, AI and automation is taking away jobs quickly. If there are no workers there is no need for a boss. All we need now is a brain computer, which is my last article.
You are overly replaceable. Your worth is directly comparable to the effort and expense it would take to get another one of you. That is the truth.
Now, as to why that's the case, your labor is devalued largely because globalism exists. Globalization of the labor market devalues everyone by having you compete against foreigners.
Does that suck? Certainly, and the neocons and liberals are traitors to the nation for implementing it. It is however still reality.
Nor does that change the fact that it is actually possible to be a valuable, irreplaceable worker. I have a good job because I'm a skilled professional. I can't be replaced easily, and I'm treated accordingly.
