A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

How do they quantify who is using it or not?

They generally have a hook into the accounts the employees use to access the provider. So you can burn tokens and look 'productive' and have it have nothing to do with your work.

A lot of the early adopters have already figured out that measuring employee usage just ends with big AI bills and essentially zero assurance that the AI provider was used productively. Those folks discontinued things like leaderboards and review based on tokens consumed.

Token usage, maybe? Just set up an agent with computer use to go talk to another agent. Problem solved.
