Algorithms rely on clean, predictable data to function. Some workers engage in organized data poisoning. By intentionally inputting incorrect tags, taking the longest possible routes on GPS, or clicking random buttons, they degrade the efficiency of the AI managing them. ⚖️ Why Workers Resort to Sabotage
Workers have learned to fight code with code. They: algorithmic sabotage work
: Employees may coordinate to feed the algorithm "junk" data. For instance, if an algorithm tracks "idle time," workers might keep a mouse-mover active or keep a specific window open to simulate engagement while they take a necessary break.
