Your Employee Just Became an Employment Lawyer Thanks To AI!
We're witnessing some really interesting times in the workplace. Employees are increasingly turning to AI to craft their emails, performance reviews, and HR communications. What started as a productivity tool has accidentally created employees who sound like they graduated from law school.
That casual "Hey, can we chat about my workload?" has transformed into meticulously worded requests citing company policy, referencing documentation standards, and using phrases like "pursuant to our previous discussion" and "for the record."
Here's the thing , AI tools are trained on vast amounts of text, including legal documents and formal business communications. When employees use these tools to navigate workplace challenges, they're unknowingly adopting the language and tactics of employment law - and scarily sometimes not the law of the country they reside in!
The result? Business owners are now receiving communications that read like they were drafted by lawyers, complete with paper trails, strategic language, and an almost adversarial tone that didn't exist before.
