Last week, I helped facilitate a meeting of AI industry with gov agencies thinking about the national implications of AI adoption. That 2-day conversation made me think that a strong focus on teaching specific tool use is maybe misguided. More here:

in the long term, high-value people tend not to stick around when they're exploited — i was just trying to say that standardised positions are filled by employees who lack the market power to resist exploitation

i gave "negotiated joining" a name and tried to clarify the concept, but aspects of the practice exist all over the place and have for at least centuries or millennia. (dating is an implementation of NJ tbh.) 

there are some companies and institutions, large and small, which have implemented NJ ...

Nice work, thank you for sharing.

I'm not sure that I'd agree that exploitation of the worker is to the advantage of the employer though; maybe only in those standardised positions?

Also, am I right in thinking that "negotiated joining" is your concept, and no-one else has picked it up in the last seven or so years?
