My Boss Used AI to Make Me Spy on My Coworker — And I Did It | Workplace Manipulation

Description

What happens when your employer doesn't threaten you directly — they just make sure you understand exactly what staying safe requires? In this episode of The Skillful Art of Manipulation, a mid-level analyst describes how AI productivity surveillance, manufactured job insecurity, and one carefully framed "context conversation" with her manager turned her into the instrument of a colleague's dismissal. No one asked her to do anything wrong. That was the point. This isn't a story about a villain. It's a story about a system — and how economic anxiety becomes the most effective coercion tool in a modern workplace.
