The Topic of Life, The Universe, and Everything

I’m thinking about you! This is all so messed up. Sometimes corporates give disciplinaries for the shittiest reasons imaginable.

Make sure to document everything.
And if you have to do any written responses, you can write it up, then ask ChatGPT to reword it for you in a more professional manner. Then you can adjust it to be a good balance between your own words and the professional manner. It helps a ton! It’s pretty much one of the few things for which I feel AI is actually worth using.

Yeah, I’ve parsed two years worth of calendar invites and a whole bunch of emails through Copilot with good results and summaries findings. Now putting it in a draft and adjust where necessary.

Edit: You think it situations like this, and others, it would give additional credit or visibility to disclose that AI was used to help degenerate said reports? (just thinking more broadly and generally—kind of like Creative Commons).

Good afternoon everyone.

@Beo Hope there is just some misunderstanding.

A question guys, what are the normal working hours?

The Basic Conditions of Employment Act stipulates the minimum measures that employers must meet.

It says a maximum of 45 hours per week. If you work five days a week, maximum of 9 hours per day. If you work more than five days in a week, maximum of 8 hours per day.

Most SA corporates work on a 40-hour work week, Monday to Fridays 8:00 - 17:00, with an hour for meal breaks. Again, the BCEA mentions that meal breaks are generally unpaid and are therefore not included in the standard work hours per day.

Here’s a decent summary:

I was wondering. Heard that song Working 9 - 5. These days I am working 8:30 to 5PM and I sort of just eat at my desk.

Good morning everyone.

Nah, no need to disclose that you used AI to help you process stuff. At the end of the day if it still your words and feelings, it doesn’t matter if you got assistance in composing it. It’s not an academic paper or an essay that needs to be original, it is just communication.

I barely wanted to do it for my garage! :rofl::rofl::sweat_smile:

My mom wanted to do it, and she comes from a place of love, so I just say yes please and thank you, and appreciate that I have a mom who wants me to have nice things and helps make them happen. :heart:

Above certain levels of employment (like management level), your company may negotiate longer working hours with your approval that exceed the BCEA.
