Friend of mine got a new job. He’s required to and only allowed to use Copilot (because muh trusted enterprise partner).

He also has to pay for his subscription/usage out of pocket. Of course they didn’t tell him this until after on-boarding.

The corpo fucks want their cake and to eat it too. That’s where we are headed. Having the privilege to pay to have a bot do our jobs for us.

I don't think this is legal??

It's like telling someone they have to drive none stop for their job but neither giving them a company car or nor a budget for it.

(To be clear done and companies get away with it != legal. I know companies sometimes get away with exactly the example I named in some cases.)
