Spend your days hand-feeding context to the AI, and it quietly tells you something: your employer doesn't really have a strategy.

That's why the heaviest "botsitters" are the ones updating their résumés.

Everyone's saving ~6 hrs/week with AI. Almost nobody's telling their boss. 👀

Because the moment you admit the time savings, you just get handed 6 more hours of work.

@rebhinds of @glean calls the hidden tax "botsitting" — and the data is wild.

Sending your AI note-taker to a meeting instead of showing up isn't efficiency.

It's a symptom: you didn't need the meeting. A surprisingly useful management lens.

@labenz A lot of companies don't have an AI strategy. They just have people manually moving context between broken systems.
