Do you prefer to work alone or to work in a group? Be it in-office or remote. Guided works should not be included as it involves at least 2 people.
And also on an interesting note, how much AI has replaced your work buddy?

    Mix of both. My job requires a lot of collaboration on some things, and others require deep dives into really dry texts that I prefer to do solo.

    I prefer remote work. I’m on video calls with people all over the world most days so there’s no reason to be in any specific location. Home allows for no commute time, privacy, better lunch, so many reasons.

    No AI replacement for tasks so far. The company I work for has an internal client that is supposed to answer queries based on all those dry texts mentioned above. But when I tested I found 16/20 attempts came back with inaccurate information on initial query and I would say roughly one third of those would not be reasonably caught by someone not very familiar with the texts like I am.

    I think there are some opportunities for AI, more along the lines of automating standard workflows, but I have no time to build them because they’ve already fired 3/4 of my team in advance of “expected efficiencies thanks to AI”. I’m also not an IT / Digital Tools person. Nothing about my job is related to building AI tools and they haven’t provided us with skills-appropriate tools. So my team is just prioritizing and saying “no” to the bottom half of the list we no longer have capacity to support. I feel increasingly insecure in my job every time we say “no” but I also won’t push my team to work an obscene number of hours per week.
