There's a rowing team where 6 people are working hard โ and 2 are just moving their oars back and forth. ๐ฃ When everyone's exhausted, you genuinely can't tell the difference. Until AI gets in the boat.
That's exactly what's happening in workplaces right now. ๐ค This video explains the "decorative oars" problem โ why the workers being replaced aren't always the lowest on the ladder, why a huge chunk of middle management was secretly just a shell around entry-level tasks, and why AI just made the whole thing visible overnight.
We go through exactly what filler work looks like in practice โ the meeting about the email about the meeting โ and why that pattern survived for 20 years before AI broke the illusion completely. ๐ผ
If you've ever suspected someone on your team was rowing with fake oars, this video explains the whole thing in plain English. ๐
And if you're worried it might be you โ watch it even more carefully. ๐ฏ
