    Worth Reading – How to avoid the wear and tear of working hard

    ByMike McBride November 3, 2026November 2, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is the reality few people in management seem to understand. There is absolutely a point of diminishing returns when it comes to hours worked. And that point is not where you think it is most of the time. It’s not at 16-hour days; it’s probably less than eight hours. You probably get the highest-quality output from your team for a few hours each day, and even that depends on how many meetings and interruptions their brains have to deal with during the day.

    Worth Reading – Microsoft gives voluntary buyout offer to about 60,000 employees

    ByMike McBride October 27, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s not a layoff, but it’s the next best thing: telling over 25% of your workforce their jobs are so unimportant you’ll pay them to leave. 

    The tech job market is toast. There’s no other way to put it.

    Be Careful with Those AI Note-takers

    ByMike McBride October 22, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is dumb on so many levels. Having a meeting assistant in such a personal meeting was probably rude and dangerous from the start. Forgetting it was there while you talked about replacing the former employee was even stupider. Maybe the icing on the cake for me is another question. If she was terminated, why did the email with the transcript still get to her? Why was her email account still accessible? 

    This might be a really good example of AI use making your systemic failures even more obvious, and faster.

    Worth Reading – Advancing Technology Is the New Existential Anxiety

    ByMike McBride October 21, 2026 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I get it. Every day, there’s someone in Big AI telling us that AI is going to either replace you or kill you. Every other day, the tool you use to do your job changes. On the off days, announcements about new products that will revolutionize everything and make employers need fewer employees mix with…

    What do your AI chats say about you? Would you want someone else reading them and drawing their own conclusions? Maybe take a look at how long you keep them.

    Worth Reading – The Hidden Dangers of AI Chat History

    ByMike McBride October 14, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    There’s the obvious privacy issue with public AI tools, but people often overlook another reality: at work, someone likely has the same access to your AI interactions as they do to your email and Teams messages. As a company using AI, you’re also responsible for all that data. You must protect it, keep it private, and, if required, collect it in response to a lawsuit or investigation. 

    Are you prepared to do that?
