I got a faster treadmill. Last Friday I hit a wall mid-afternoon: generating output, skimming AI responses, missing errors I'd have caught an hour earlier. My RAM was full. I closed the laptop and we…

The "productivity" obsession is officially hitting a wall.

For two years, the narrative has been simple: AI will make us 10X faster, or it will replace us entirely. But the data is starting to tell a much more human story.

A new study from Slack’s Workforce Lab finds that "desk workers" are spending 41% of their time on tasks that are "low value" or "performative."

The kicker? AI isn't fixing it. In many cases, it's just making the performative work faster.

As Christina Janzer, SVP of Research and Analytics at Slack, puts it

We’re at this juncture where we can choose to use AI to do the same things we’ve always done, just faster—or we can use it to fundamentally change how we work.

Here is the problem: Most leaders are still choosing the former. They are measuring "token usage" and "output volume" instead of "outcomes" and "innovation."
