Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

management want AI

but our technology is still in the 80s. Forms that require standard text fields with predetermined values, which the user needs to spell out, and a highly paid analyst or manager has to manually reject for typos. No drop down, no back end data validation, no autocomplete.

BUT USE AI. lol. Because we bought Microsoft bonds, Charlie is on the board, and we are spending billions on CoPilot to keep them afloat. Or something.

How about we just spend the billions bringing our technology later into the 20th century.

@bb He laid me off for performance reasons and was extremely vague and didn't make any sense as I was working as hard or harder and receiving positive feedback from users and rest of team. He never attended scrum meetings and if he had he would have seen the number of Jira tickets I had been doing in keeping the app running well. I got inconsistently meets on my last performance review. The only time other than the last week that he had specifically spoke with or emailed me outside my mid year and annual reviews in this time was emailing me about my lack of use of CoPilot for 7 days where I had been on PTO and then saying I was not adopting AI tools in the review. Then in the last week he had catch up meeting where he fired me on second one.

My manager complained I hadn't used CoPilot for seven days. He is so out of touch I had to tell him I was on PTO those days... Anyhow they said I wasn't adopting AI Tools as part of my layoff -- no severance.

The machine breaks when the investments stop. Sure as sh-t doesn't work on its own.
