    Rules of AI etiquette: be upfront, check accuracy, and don’t burden people with ‘workslop’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Once upon a time, the basic rules of workplace etiquette were well understood. Don’t take credit for someone else’s work. Don’t waste other people’s time by being late. Try to thank anyone who has done something to make your life easier. And so on. The arrival of AI has added uncertainty to proceedings. This month, Deloitte released a survey of 25,000 workers in the UK that it claimed was the largest study of workplace generative AI use ever carried out in a single country. It showed tha

    Pilita Clark: Perils of headphones in the office (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The novelist Elif Shafak has published 21 books that have been translated into 58 languages and won multiple awards. Each time she sits down to write, though, she does something unfathomable. “I always listen to heavy metal when I’m writing,” she said at an event last weekend. “I can’t concentrate when there’s too much silence around me.” She typically chooses one song a day and listens to it up to 95 times through headphones. She is especially fond of a Mongolian throat-singing fo

    I cannot remember the last time something in the Sunday papers made me gasp, but that’s what happened last weekend when I read an interview with Alan Chang. “I don’t read books,” said the 30-something boss of Fuse Energy, a $5 billion (€4.3 billion) British tech-centric power supplier start-up, after a man from The Sunday Times asked him to list some personal interests.

    Just after 1pm last Tuesday, I bought a £7.50 chicken salad at the Pret around the corner from my office to test a theory. It wasn’t the grim little lunch that interested me. It was the other office workers hunkered down over their halloumi wraps and egg pots. Sure enough, there were more men eating lunch alone than women. It was the same at the cafe next door, at another lunch spot down the road and also the Financial Times staff canteen. Sometimes there were more than twice as many single m

    Best wishes, bye for now, cheers: the lost art of signing off an email (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    It’s August, a time for slothful, sun-filled indolence with calming, restful thoughts. Or it would be, were it not for emails like the one that arrived the other day. I did not know the sender, who was writing to confirm an upcoming appointment in a brief note that ended with an even briefer two letters: “KR”. At first I thought this was a typo, but no. A day later, another email from the same sender ended the same way. Here was someone who felt the 12 keystrokes required to type out “Ki
