The Spin

Narrative A

AI sabotage is a symptom of leadership failure. When 49% of employees are left to figure out generative AI on their own and 75% of company AI strategies are more for show than real guidance, worker pushback is the predictable result. It's vital to fix the strategy, invest in people and the resistance disappears.

Narrative B

Sabotaging AI is career suicide. Workers who resist are 60% more likely to face layoffs while AI super-users are saving nearly nine hours a week and landing promotions at 3x the rate of laggards. Fear of obsolescence is real, but the fastest path to becoming obsolete is refusing to adapt.
