AI Users have workdays up to 90 min longer than non-users

It's all because of "just one more prompt" and then waiting for an hour to prepare everything for the over-night run :D

For former ICs who aren’t used to watching out for overwork and burnout as new managers of agents, there’s decades of research studying why people overwork once they’re responsible for (and occasional blockers for) workers that remains just as applicable whether they’re human or bot. Start with this HBR article and explore their Overwork keyword in more depth, perhaps: https://hbr.org/2024/01/want-to-be-a-better-leader-stop-thin...

it feels a lot more feasible to fit in one more small task in at the end of the day since you’re a lot more productive which leads to me working a bit longer

Non-AI users have been fired and their work shifted to AI users.

Cynical take: A form of selection bias, already unproductive deadweight employees may feel no pressure to use AI. Longer workdays relfect an already established distribution.

throw in the forced RTO commute time to sit at an open office desk, commanding the agents while others teammates do the same around you, and now thats what I call collaborative productivity maximalization for a measly 3 more hours a day.

If a computer is a bicycle for the mind, AI is an e-bike for the mind. It's simply easier to put in longer sessions.

Two times 5 hour shifts. Oh, no usage anymore today? Let's call it a day.
