This is a concise giveaway from an office conversation (some parts were removed, along with tech slang):
...you should start using AI, it will increase your productivity 3x, maybe 10x
Hmm, sounds cool. But will you increase my compensation 10x, are you comfortable with that?
I won't. Why should I?
Because it's fair, no?
Who said life is fair?
Hm, but if we're OK with being unfair, why not just say I use AI but work as in the previous year?
Well, I'll check and see.
How exactly?
All coworkers are using AI, their productivity increased 10x and I will just compare your output with theirs.
Hmm, have they asked for a 10x raise?
No, why should they? OK, I'll open the life principle to you a bit. I could say they are stupid but their education says otherwise, they're actually afraid to ask for a 10x raise, and possibly thought out some arguments as a foundation not to ask. I don't really care, you see, the matter of negotiation is not about arguments - it's about if you have the balls or not - intelligence is only support, not firepower. They just don't have the balls, and I have, because of that I'm the boss, not you. It's like in nature, you know, alpha/beta males. I'm alpha, I win negotiations, I suppress beta, I climb the evolution ladder so to speak. You're beta - you comply, thinking out arguments to not argue. I truly believe that eventually you'll start using AI like others and think out some arguments not to ask for a comp raise... Or, I just fire you - no 2 alphas in the same flock, you know. )
Oh.
Yes, so think out something to soothe yourself and start using AI already. Next week all your deadlines will be shorter, let's start with 2x shorter, let's see what comes out next.
Sounds harsh.
Life is harsh.
