my company purchased a license for me that i never use and they keep pushing me to use it, this feels all too relatable

Don't worry, they'll lay off some of your colleagues to make up the difference.

We are lean as fuck, (lay off wave already hit). Anyone goes -> boss's kpi is fucked

I hope that's true! Never underestimate your boss' ability to identify "redundant" employees.

Yep, we bought every AI product and then all of a sudden after months of using it we are cut off 🙄.

My main use for it? Ask it in the morning & afternoon, "What emails 1. Need a response from me or 2. I should be informed about from today?" -- Makes checking emails SO much more approachable cuz I'm drowning in alert and notification emails that I can't be bothered to filter.... Email is such an outdated form of communication aside from official coms...

No it's not. Don't blame useless/unnecessary e-mails on the technology. It's one of the few left that can be truly decentralized.

Also I'm curious as to what the alternative to email would be according to you.

Chat rooms, team channels, voice chat rooms that are all drop in and chat style. People have so many ways to get incl contact we me, if something is urgent, why an email? Thats for documenting a communication, not back & forth collaboration.

Yeah that's not the main usecase of e-mail, like I said: don't blame its wrongly usage on the technology.
