And in such an environment, creativity, risk taking, and thus innovation, slowly gets shoved away. You cannot ask people to innovate creatively or challenge assumptions while their job feels precarious and the environment punishes mistakes.

Great article
good points
New knowledge for me
I hated reading it because of the picture
Edit:. Yknow what, I'm going to try and elaborate and not just be a poop. I would rather see the art even non-artists make by hand in the same amount of time that was spent writing that prompt.
I want to be there with the author as they lead me through their work. I want to see them, and I don't want their hard, very well done work forced to share page space with slop created by evil, y'know? I'm sorry for coming out fighting, but it was a REALLY good article
@TeflonTrout yeah, I hope we stop the AI pictures to illustrate articles, it brings nothing, and it's usually quite uncanny. Might be interesting to tell the author though, maybe they imagined this picture helped? (also to be fair, I read everything using the reader mode, so I had to double check to see the picture, that kind of brings the point to "this one is quite useless"
Is the writer accesible to give feedback to? I'd be happy to, and I will be tactful from the beginning this time. I'm sorry again.
@TeflonTrout @stephaniewalter I mean, the whole article reads computer-generated. 🤷
@soc @stephaniewalter I don't get that feeling, what did you see?
@TeflonTrout @soc @stephaniewalter I also thought it was clearly an AI voice. Which is ironic given the topic, as if someone was so afraid that their own voice would not be competitive enough.
Ignoring the over-use of em-dashes, I thought there was way too much of what Wikipedia calls "negative parallelism", and patterns that seem to make things clear but are just repetitions. Over-use of bold sentences is another one.

Back in the olden days, 1950's, psychology was used to understand how to motivate people. 2 such examples, were Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, & Douglas McGregor Theory X & Theory Y.
My experience with 'upper management' awareness; things are running great, productivity & quality on track, so let's budget away all the tools of a successful workforce.
Things go to shite, threaten the workforce.

@FrankFrank @stephaniewalter Wait, who put "employment" into a pyramid of basic human needs. (Probably someone who never thought about UBI or about unpaid work.)
@maxy @FrankFrank yeah Maslow's has been criticized a lot for this and other topics. It needs an update for sure 😅
