Seriously, my old boss was very upfront with that metric, as well as goals for completing ai training. I don’t mind the training goal to much since it’s always good to learn more about technologies, but it was specific classes that were entirely bullshit.
But using ai every day? And we live in fear of the next round of layoffs and whether that will be the criteria, rather than how well you do your job
New boss hasn’t said anything, but I’ve give back to using ai when it may be useful. That’s probably stupid on my part, even self-sabotage, because reality is real
I’m in the same situation where management has mandated daily AI usage. Cursor is the tool we use, and group-level usage monitoring is built right in. I assume that functionality exists for billing purposes, but managers are just as happy to use it to spy on us.
Seriously? Damn I haven’t activated my cursor license yet. I use copilot when appropriate, and I don’t believe that has spying so I don’t “get credit” for it
Counterpoint: To afford housing I must demonstrate to my boss that I’m using AI daily.

Me too, but then I used AI to automate my use of AI and now I don’t have to worry about AI anymore.
Wheels withing wheels withing wheels…
Counter-counterpoint: The company is going to go bust. Get a job somewhere where you don’t do that before you’re forced to.
Can’t he just ask his AI to demonstrate it for him?
Yes but he’d need an AI to write the prompt to get the AI to demonstrate it.
Demonstrate how? How’s your boss monitoring that?

I’ve taken to impersonating clanker when I message him
“Roger Roger!”
