I work in a unioned environment. I use AI.
My boss would never dream asking I crank more because I now have AI help.
That guy saying there were only two possible outcomes doesn’t know about the beauty of unions.
you're fortunate; the power of unions has been decimated since the 80s, and huge efforts have been made by companies (with the support of the government) to prevent new industries from unionizing
"My boss would never dream asking I crank more because I now have AI help."
But... You're cranking more right? I mean, she may give you the courtesy of not asking for more as you (and we collectively) figure this out, but it's getting quite clear that you can crank more, so why would she not expect it?
Sure there may be a union, but if you're the only person not cranking out more with AI, there can still be consequences.
