Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Knowledge inside your employees' heads is impossible to quantify on a spreadsheet. This, combined with the obvious truth that tacit knowledge exists which cannot be codified, transmitted, & instantaneously rehydrated inside of new employees' brains, will forever irritate the shit out of beancounters.
This is the real reason they want neuralink.
Until they have full-on androids they just need a meat bag they can slot a chip into.
mayos are very bad at even considering the existence of unknown knowns. For example it should be obvious that your employees do a ton of background work and expertise that you don't explicitly quantify or pay them for, and that you DEFINITELY know nothing about--an unknown known (in that it's known by your company). It should also be obvious that you can't actually interface a digital silicon chip with an analog meat-brain seamlessly, because cells are alive and they way they move/react is incredibly fluid and intelligent--an unknown known (in that it's known by your body's cells, but not by you).
But mayos are really good at falsely convincing themselves that reality is an assortment of discrete mechanistic things and processes instead of a dynamic web of flexible and reactive phenomena
be cautious here. Input works pretty well because the brain is plastic. They've done (limited resolution) artificial vision through basically an electrode grid. Hundreds of people, google Argus II. Hit the brain with some arbitrary electrical inputs and eventually it will stop interpreting them as pain and start decoding the patterns.
You can quantify it on a spreadsheet by comparing your other metrics vs. turnover rate, esp. by department. The bean counters do this all the time in the big corps. Smaller ones might just make things up but the big ones have teams of people building out strategies all centered around certain profitability / marketshare / stock price goals. Such as those at Boeing.
They're making intentional decisions to hollow the place out to maximize short-term profit and to break the unions at their workplaces. They have an estimate of what this will cost them and then they hit the "yes" button.
What they fucked up at is that they got too close to the "horrific safety and PR disaster" line mostly by doing blatantly negligent things, nothing requiring deep knowledge. Make are the bolts are tightened. Make sure QA does inspections. Make sure that when QA finds something wrong, it gets fixed. This was all replaced by "do it fast and don't complain" incentives. This does tie into the union busting though, as it was part of opening up new non-union shops in various red states.
