Token‑Quota Compliance Problem

Employers are implementing token or time quotas for corporate AI platforms; employees respond by optimizing for quota consumption rather than meaningful outcomes, producing hollow productivity gains and morale loss. Over time this dynamic can create disengagement, gameable metrics, and increased turnover or resistance. — If token‑oriented mandates spread, they will reshape workplace incentives, union/management bargaining, and regulatory conversations about automation and job redesign.
