Employees are being asked to train the systems replacing them. Should they get residuals?
I keep seeing stories about employees being asked to train systems that later replace them. Honestly, I think that's one of the biggest strategic mistakes happening in right now. Not just morally. Economically. You're taking the people with the most operational knowledge in the company, extracting their expertise into a system, then cutting them out of the upside entirely. Of course people resist that. But what if the workers helping train the system actually benefited from the system long term?
What if:
\* training contributions were attributable
\* operational knowledge had provenance
\* contributors got paid when their data improved or trained future systems
\* the people building the intelligence layer participated in the value creation
That completely changes the relationship between workers and the system. Now the worker has incentive to:
\* provide better training data
\* improve workflows
\* document edge cases
\* help the system succeed
Instead of trying to protect themselves from it. I honestly think some version of this eventually becomes necessary if this new paradigm is going to scale smoothly across industries.
Curious where people think this breaks down.
