Shitty Microsoft AI: “Yeahhh, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday…”
Unless it says never, this is useless!
This helps nobody, and whoever thinks it’s a good idea needs better time management skills.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s a problem that emerged with the increase in hybrid and flexible work after the recent covid-19 pandemic, with workers spending less time in the office.
“When employees get to the office, they don’t want to be greeted by a sea of empty desks — they want face-time with their manager and the coworkers they collaborate with most frequently,” says Microsoft’s corporate vice president of AI at work, Jared Spataro, in a blog post.
This location data will then be fed into Outlook calendars, so you know when events are taking place in the office and when you’ve elected to head in.
“You will be able to ask Copilot to adjust your schedule based on this information — changing your work location to the office on recommended days and rescheduling in-person meetings,” says Spataro.
Microsoft Places will also have a finder feature that makes it easier to book meeting rooms or shareable desks, and this will all be accessible in Outlook, too.
The dashboard appears to be focused on building and room analytics, rather than offering managers another way to track individual employees.
