lowkey one of the easiest ways to stand out at work rn is helping your manager use AI better

Discussion

noticed something recently: a lot of managers/directors are still figuring out where AI actually fits into their workflow. not talking about “replace jobs” stuff. just basic things like:

- summarizing long docs

- writing repetitive emails

- pulling insights from spreadsheets

- turning messy notes into clean reports

- automating recurring tasks

and weirdly… most younger employees already know how to do this faster. one guy at our company made a small prompt library for his manager and automated a few reporting tasks. probably saved them hours every week. now that manager brings him into every important convo 😭 feels like “managing up with AI” is becoming an underrated career skill
