Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

SBLT gave some support mail id "[email protected]" not working and mobile number always busy no reply in WhatsApp message.
This is worst customer support i received.
@redBus_in
I express my absolute outrage and demand an immediate full refund . journey from Kilambakkam, Chennai, to Ooty, scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 9:00 PM, with an expected arrival at 7:30 AM on Aug 15, 2025.SBLT has turned this trip into an utterly unacceptable ordeal

Adding to this fiasco, the pit stop restroom facilities were filthy, poorly maintained, and woefully inadequate, with so few rooms that passengers were forced to endure long queues. This level of negligence and disregard for basic customer comfort is shameful.
Many of you have reached out to see the full list of health insurance claim ratios.
I also hear that there is pressure from the industry to remove this data.
So here it is!

3days before software updated happened to my M52 5G mobile, After that pink line appearing in my screen, I sure my mobile display has no issues. And checked online most of the user facing similar issue. Samsung team should take responsibility and solve this issue.
Only 0.3% of Indians go to the gym.
— Streets not built for walking, and air quality is low
— Most food is unhealthy: fried, processed, low protein
— Social events are centered around food and drink
— Culturally, "life" > fitness
This drastically reduces our lifespan.
