📝 Article 8: “AI Promised to Automate My Job. Instead It Gave Me More Meetings.”

The memo said “AI will reduce meetings by 80%.”
The reality? My calendar looks like a game of Tetris played by someone with a personal grudge.

Apparently, AI needed “alignment syncs” to “optimize workflows.” So now instead of one status call, I have four:

• “Pre-Sync Alignment”
• “AI Alignment Alignment”
• “Post-Sync Debrief”
• “Celebration of Alignment”

I used to work eight hours a day. Now I work eight hours just explaining my work to a bot that “really values transparency.”

When I asked it why, it said:

“This is necessary to ensure scalable collaboration within our agile synergy ecosystem.”

I didn’t understand a word of that. Which means… the AI is now middle management.
