2024 Work Trends: Return to Office, Sneaky Layoffs and are MBAs Worth it?

And so if they can find someone that's like broken a company policy, they can fire them. It looks better from a PR perspective. You're not having to do mass layoffs.

And so I think you're going to get into this place where like some people break the rules and they're given more leeway. Some people break the rules and they're not performing well and they're given no leeway. And we'll see how that affects overall employee morale.

Yeah, I mean, I think going back to what I said, the problem is most people think they're above average. So, like, everyone's probably like, oh, I'm doing a great job at work. It would never happen to me. I think be realistic. So, like, don't do something that the company says not to do. We probably all do a little bit of that, but don't do something egregious.

But then the second thing is I think you just have to decide, do I want to work at a place that legitimately would fire me for doing fantasy football? For me, I'd be like โ€“ F that, like I don't even wanna work here. Like that is super, super lame. So I think you also just have to come to terms with like, do you wanna be micromanaged to that degree? I personally wouldn't, so.

And I think there are so many really incredible tools out there now, ChatGBT, Perplexity being a few. And, Toby, you mentioned this. Like, people are using this when they're stuck.

And I think that is a common thing you find in knowledge work. Like, you're overwhelmed at a task. Even having something to prompt to get you started I think is very effective. The thing I think people are hesitant about is they feel like they need to understand how the tool works, or they need to learn deep LLM technology to use these tools, which you don't.
