A nurse was assigned to watch over me. I was terribly uncomfortable, and over and over I begged her to release me. Finally, after a considerable time, I was released.

Most workers are worried that AI will replace them. And while many are now using AI at work, few directly refer to the technology as a “coworker” or an “employee.” But the CEO of people management platform Lattice thinks we should change that.

We all know what it feels like to have a bad day at work. Instead of wearing rose-colored glasses, you’re wearing red-colored glasses. Everything—and everyone—aggravates you at your job. You’re annoyed at your colleagues sending you messages. You’re frustrated with your IT system. And you can’t stand your commute. If you struggle with constant negativity on the job , it can impact your productivity because you spend more time thinking about how you’re upset instead of doing what you can to have

There’s a dog-eared, yellowing paperback on my bookshelf called Understanding Offices. Written by Joanna Eley and Alexi Marmot, it dates from 1995. It is a handbook for everybody who once needed to know how to develop a workplace strategy during the infant phase of a digital and cultural revolution. I used to refer to it all the time, but now it serves mainly as a reminder of how much has changed over the past thirty years, and also how little.

But what if you recaptured that power? Imagination is as important in adulthood as it is when you’re young, and it’s in your control, says Albert Read, author of The Imagination Muscle: Where Good Ideas Come From (And How to Have More of Them).

In the realm of the technology adoption life cycle, I once comfortably identified with the early majority adopter —not a laggard or skeptic, but also not an innovator.

Why is it so difficult to relate to individuals who are capable of expressing nuanced or moderate viewpoints about broad public opinion matters and sometimes even trivial issues?
