Microsoft is now officially judging employees on their AI usage. Not gonna lie, this is wild.

Just saw that Microsoft is making AI tool usage part of employee performance reviews—and honestly, it feels like a turning point. It’s no longer “try out Copilot if you want,” it’s expected. Use it, or it might reflect poorly on your performance. AI is now lumped in with communication and teamwork as a core skill. That’s wild. I get the logic—if you’re building or working alongside these tools, you should know how to use them. But turning AI usage into a KPI feels like we’re entering weird territory. What if someone’s already super productive without it? Or uses a different flow that doesn’t mesh well with Copilot? Feels like the beginning of a bigger trend though. If Microsoft is doing this, how long until the rest of Big Tech follows? This whole thing makes me wonder: are we optimizing productivity, or just measuring who's best at prompting? #Tech #Microsoft #AI
