“It’s about being in the room where it happens, where deals are getting done or at least where the skids are getting greased,” says Charlie Sultan, president of Concur Travel. “When I hear about companies cutting some of the younger, less-experienced people from trips, it’s like, ‘What happens when the senior person moves on?’ ” : https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/why-its-worth-lobbying-the-boss-to-send-you-on-that-business-trip-154c7d0d?st=obu6c8&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink #work #career #travel #networking #opportunities

@jensorensen A question that somehow nobody asks is who buys the products? With no workers or badly paid ones, we dont need those companies anymore because there is nobody left to buy stuff. How will the share price react on that?

RE: https://meow.social/@chirpbirb/116455392979879012Productivity can be so many things: tidal ebbs and flows, flooding creeks & coursing rivers, steady seeps, cyclical incrementation and revision. We need not let silly ideas about work get in the way of the work itself. #productivity #work #ideology #trabajo #travail #arbeit #yearly #weekly #daily #habits #flow

@OutsideCasey it is what it is, it will be what to be. The world will keep moving. Progress will keep pushing forward despite our attempts.

@mmeier a few axioms help me understand it.A) C-suite types are extremely bandwagon-y. If their peers (real or imagined) are posting about it on LinkedIn in the typical breathless house style, they're going to at least investigate it.B) C-suite types are also usually non-technical, so a dog and pony show that goes from 10 word prompt to working application is extremely impressive to them. Not that they're gullible or stupid by any means. They just are confident about making decisions with imperfect information.C) In at least a few cases the frontier labs have strategically planted moles on corporate boards who then of course say the business needs to move faster, of course using AI, of course with their company's products. Conflict of interest? Never heard of it.
