Are You Leaning on AI for Advice and Feedback Because You Are Afraid To Speak With Your Manager? Perhaps many employees are doing so these days. Fortune’s Brit Morse writes:
What do we make of these findings? I see two forces at play here. First, managers may not be providing the type of constructive, real-time advice and feedback that employees desire. Second, many employees may be leaning on AI models because they are not comfortable speaking with their manager about their performance and opportunities for improvement. I’m certainly not against using AI to enhance your productivity and performance on the job. However, something very important is missing if we are avoiding conversations with our managers out of discomfort or conflict avoidance tendencies. Managers need to make themselves more accessible and need to help their employees become more comfortable asking for help. Employees need to tackle their discomfort head-on, and they must be willing to hear the hard truths needed to enhance performance.
