    If they’re ranking you based on AI usage, they’re going to use that when they make decisions about raises and promotions. It may be a stupid contest but the employees are part of it whether they like it or not.

    You can bet your ass I’d be trying to pad my numbers.

      By not promoting the people on top of the ranking who can’t do things without AI and waste a lot of resources, right?

      …right?

        Well they do stack ranking. The promotions are not guaranteed, but the firings for people at the bottom of the leaderboard are.
