The Daily Corporate Drudge: Burnout, AI Automation & Why Agency Matters!

Hey SatsMate Stackers, 

Life and work around us is trying to squeeze more out of us, all to keep the machine running. You don't have to look far to see burnout on many people's faces, and a general sense of overwhelm for many. This all is happening because people often are just trying to go through the motions to make everything happen. We are trying to keep up, and often times it ends up hurting us more in the end. In this podcast, I am going to go over the following: 

• I have been working on my corporate life for going on 12 years now
  • Youtube/Podcasting/Blogging has been approximately 6
• I am one of those guys now that goes into the office everyday (woof)
• I find benefits though, and I’m not saying that because I drank the Kool-Aid - it is actually nice to get out
• With AI doing things more efficiently, I see many people twiddling their thumbs in the office
  • I know this sounds small, but this is bigger than I think
• I work in one of those places with unlimited time off, and people do take unlimited time lol
• I notice a lot of people come in late, and leave early - the ones who don’t are watching the clock
• The long lunches, the long walks, the sitting in car eating lunch - I see it all
• In the future I think the norm to work the 8 hour, 5 day work week will become a thing of the past in short order
• There are countless (Full Time Employees), I know that work half days, every Friday off, and they are getting their jobs done just fine
• The work doesn’t interest many, and with AI being able to do any computer related thing (most complicated model build, snowflake query, dashboard build, or excel formula - we need to get paid for something else
• Every single function I see in the corporate world get automated, optimized, outsourced, or robotically automated
  • Accounts Payable
  • Sales, Operations, Procurement, Finance, etc. 
  • Call centers of course
• Everything is colder, leaner and meaner
• Employees are pushing back and fighting through quiet quitting, doomscrolling in office, long breaks, and pushing the limits to what they can
• I enjoy what I do, but in the end - I’m working on myself outside of the job, because I believe agency is going to be the most important thing to have in the future
  • In my ability to earn, do things on my terms, and go where I want when I want
