Amazon has shut down an internal company leaderboard which ranked employees based on how much they used AI tools at work.

    I worked once in a company where they noted down how many times each employee went to the toilet in a day. if you had the runs they would write you up. needless to say, I lasted just about 3 weeks before I quit.

    This here sounds very similarly stupid.

        It was easy. The bathrooms were near the entrance, where the receptionist could see us and tick their boxes…

          Prime opportunity to leave some toilet paper on the receptionist’s desk after each visit.

          Just imagine the scenario, you arrive at work and you see your boss at your desk with a smirk on his face. “Hello Carole, starting today I want you to keep tabs on those bathrooms got it?👏🙂”

            But he, it’s 2026 now. We have AI toilets. The more often you have the runs, the more tokens you can use there. Go get your daily dose of castor oil and become a high-ranker.

          With wireless microphones, maybe you can keep talking on the toilet. The company could even provide you with a laptop or tablet to take with you. D:
