I just can’t see anyone contributing anything meaningful to a meeting when they’re split across three different conversations. If that’s the case for this hypothetical employee, she’s part of the problem.

I think the whole idea is that the AI handles two of those meetings for her (somehow) But yes, I try to put myself in the mind of someone who is enthused to finally be able to "attend" three meetings at once, and I just can't. I have a good job that I mostly enjoy, and am usually enthusiastic about my work. No fucking way.

The only people who could want this are the 1% (and wanna-be 1%), and they want it so the rest of us can attend three meetings at once to increase their wealth even faster.

It's people who brag about how hard they work and how many hours they work when other people say they hate their jobs.

And those people make me laugh. Oh really? You worked 80 hours last week? I "worked" 40, which meant about 4 hours of actual work a day, clocked out at 5 on the dot every day and spent time with my family.
