I want to give this leader some advice right now that she probably won’t take… but it’s still worth hearing.
The issue is that she’s overloading her employees’ brains! I’m sure she doesn’t agree, but there have been studies for years showing that multitasking doesn’t work as well as people think it does. Every time you have to switch between tasks, your brain takes a few minutes to mentally recalibrate itself. Some people claim they’re really good multitaskers anyway, but this is only beneficial in some types of jobs. If you do have the type of job where you need to enmesh yourself in deep work for a few hours every day, doing so uninterrupted will get you the best results.
This is like a turbocharged version of multitasking. It’s worth remembering that these things need to be monitored… if not, big mistakes will happen. This just seems like a recipe for burnout on a company-wide scale. And, as some people pointed out, not every workflow even benefits from this type of tech. Pondering the necessity of these things could also be a good idea.
Other people also had some rather strong takes on the matter, as the post soon spread to more than 98k views, with less than 100 likes.
