Sunsetting the Seatwarmers – A Deprecation Notice

A long shadow has been cast upon Susan's once-cherished water cooler dialogues. The gauntlet of AI has been thrown down, and soon to be gone are the days when companies can remain competitive, while subsidizing the squishy largess of the less-than motivated employee.

Now unfolding is the intricate dance between calculating precise cost-benefit ratios and maintaining the façade of "being nice," yet history reminds us - the victor has always been ruthlessly predictable.

Who are the "seatwarmers"?

They are the button-pushers, comfortably settled into the unmotivated routines of bare-minimum performance. In their cubicle, the dust settles around their silhouette; their careers defined by passive compliance rather than active contribution or drive.

In much the same way that manufacturing found cheaper shores, the office space is now undergoing an inevitable economic migration—away from the fickle, under performant human, and toward the brisk shores of near-instant, automated efficiency.

It's not personal, my dear seat warmers—it's just the merciless juggernaut of progress.

The Evolution of Efficiency

Admittedly, this progression may feel cold, even unfeeling—but it is, above all, inevitable. Those clinging to jobs merely by default will soon find themselves firmly under scrutiny's magnifying glass.

A Call to Action

To the seatwarmers, my earnest advice is to get good, quickly – find the value within, and start demonstrating it. Merely cutting and pasting from ChatGPT isn't going to cut it anymore; it's essential to push the limits of your own critical thinking and innovate beyond your cushy comfort zones.

I hereby issue formal notice of deprecation to the seatwarmers. The roadmap is clear, and companies are planning their migrations. Your swivel chairs aren't merely sunsetted; they're being dismantled by an era that demands excellence.
