Tier B · TL;DR
AI employees should be single-task specialists who never get promoted

Claim

I've built an entire department of AI employees. Each one does exactly one job. None of them gets promoted. Living the dream.

Mechanism

By assigning each AI tool a single, narrow task (text correction, hashtag generation, etc.), you avoid the overhead of managing a generalist and get reliable, predictable output. No promotion means no scope creep or salary negotiation.
