“We Are Duped Into Blaming Our Problems On Everyone Except Our Rulers”

“Your abusers are not some far away nation your own government doesn’t like, nor are they some marginalized group your government doesn’t care about. Your abusers are your government itself, and all its allies and assets around the world”

As #AI steps into managerial roles, do we judge it differently based on gender? A study using RCTs finds that AI #managers —like human ones—face #GenderBiases. Female AI managers, in particular, encounter greater skepticism when denying rewards.

arXiv.orgGender Bias in Perception of Human Managers Extends to AI ManagersAs AI becomes more embedded in workplaces, it is shifting from a tool for efficiency to an active force in organizational decision-making. Whether due to anthropomorphism or intentional design choices, people often assign human-like qualities - including gender - to AI systems. However, how AI managers are perceived in comparison to human managers and how gender influences these perceptions remains uncertain. To investigate this, we conducted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) where teams of three participants worked together under a randomly assigned manager - either human or AI - who was presented as male, female, or gender-neutral. The manager's role was to select the best-performing team member for an additional award. Our findings reveal that while participants initially showed no strong preference based on manager type or gender, their perceptions changed significantly after experiencing the award process. As expected, those who received awards rated their managers as more fair, competent, and trustworthy, while those who were not selected viewed them less favorably. However, male managers - both human and AI - were more positively received by awarded participants, whereas female managers, especially female AI managers, faced greater skepticism and negative judgments when they denied rewards. These results suggest that gender bias in leadership extends beyond human managers and towards AI-driven decision-makers. As AI takes on greater managerial roles, understanding and addressing these biases will be crucial for designing fair and effective AI management systems.
#corporations #managers : "We want you to work as efficiently as possible"
Also corp manager: "we'll also flood you with #email. Also filter rules are disabled for security reasons. Also, we make you jump to 7 flaming hoops every time you want to use a tool you already are proficient with. You also have to use #sap and #sharepoint , our efficiency chapions."
Which one is it? I can either work the way you want me to, or I can work efficiently. The two overlap only a tiny bit.

Royal Mail accused of faking deliveries

#Postal #workers say they've been told to record some #parcel #deliveries as “inaccessible”, even if they never attempted to deliver it
Thus operations managers still receive their bonuses, understood to be based in part on hitting targets for the number of parcels that leave Royal Mail depots

As Louise Murphy (Resolution Foundation) points out:
'When we asked what young people would change about the world of work, they didn’t ask for big, flashy reforms. They wanted to have more human, understanding managers'!
Its a sad indictment (but no surprise) that young people entering work find managers are not friendly or supportive people... I've said for years many of the UK's workforce problems are linked to rubbish managers & this is what the young find out!
