“You have a device telling you, ‘move here, move there,’ like if you were a robot."

As automation creeps into the lives of hospitality employees, it is decreasing their autonomy while increasing surveillance. “You have a device telling you, ‘move here, move there,’ like if you were a robot," one housekeeper tells @proofnews.bsky.social. www.proofnews.org/hotel-housek...

Found an old Oracle user group speaker, last time met him 15? years ago in Hotsos. Nice surprise. 🇳🇱

I'm trying to remember when you first did a presentation on constraints that went through the possible levels all the way up to "database constraints" at an early Hotsos event.
It must be a little over 20 years by now.

Automation is creeping into the lives of hotel housekeepers, as hospitality industry leaders invest in workforce management software that pledges to increase profitability, reduce labor costs, and track worker productivity

My first story for @proofnews.bsky.social: www.proofnews.org/hotel-housek...

“The on-the-ground experience of AI in the workplace,” he said, “looks a lot more like, ‘wow, this app just showed up, and I’m now being forced to use it. Management is all of a sudden evaluating me based on my fidelity with the app’s recommendations.’”

Just in: my SPM abstract got accepted for Hotsos. As usual a very interesting looking agenda: <a href="http://www.hotsos.com/sym13/sym_speakers.html" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://www.hotsos.com/sym13/sym_speakers.html

Hotsos fligth booked: no way back now. Still need to prep some good SPM demos, to get my messages across

I'll be demoing at Hotsos how SPM causes plan *in*stability...

I'll also be demoing at #hotsos #hotsym13 a case where SPM refuses to evolve a better execution plan into an accepted plan.

Get a seat while you still can...

Proof News provides an excellent investigation into AI's replacement of lower-level management jobs in the hospitality industry, while making work life miserable for housekeeping crews now under the constant surveillance and pressure of their new bloodless bosses: www.proofnews.org/hotel-housek...

Another great line up for Hotsos http://buff.ly/1Qp1o9l:::
