There's a weird effort to consolidate knowledge in tech. It absolutely feels like we're all being asked to make everything it takes to do our jobs be documented in a single repository. Whether that's to farm out the work, or train an AI on it is tough to discern, but it sure feels like we're being set up to be replaced by something. In multiple decades of working here, I've never seen a push like this.

Teams reduced. Middle management squeeze to do more with less; all while saying ‘thank you sir, may I have another?’
- laid off 10/28 and enjoying the time to self heal and enjoy the holidays. Peace
I haven’t seen any of this.
Something is going on. The AMA was strange. We are getting no info from our leadership about planning or strategy for next year. Questions are ignored. I know the top leaders aren’t up to the job but they’ve gone quiet in ways that count. Adding friends from old companies for loyal support when things start getting sc--wed up.
Welcome to the party, pal.
Affected.....(pls)
I heard tech will be effected….sorry I couldn’t resist lol
@OP That is exactly what happened with my team.
The more you write the more useless the whole is. Just keep dumping into a word salad that will take an entire jar of Metamucil to digest. Cross-link to everything. Use acronyms that don’t exist in the acronym finder.
Malicious compliance can be fun when done correctly.
There is only one thing to do here: Make sh-t up. Have AI help you do it. Make sure it's 90% garbage. Make it so fragmented and indeciperable that whoever needs to use it in the future have to work very hard to put it to any tangible use.
