Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

My Team Lead clearly used AI to write my appraisal and now I’m convinced he will be replaced by AI.

My team lead, a nice guy but not the sharpest, decided to do my appraisal this morning. As usual, everything was “fine.” Lots of fluff and no real substance, except for one thing. He kept stumbling over words and mispronouncing them.

It was obvious he had no idea what he was saying. It sounded like a seven-year-old reading their first chapter book, except the words were not even difficult. It was honestly embarrassing to sit there and deal with him.

At that point, it became clear that he did not get the position based on performance.

It was pathetic. I understand using AI to clean up grammar or help organize your thoughts, but having it actually write the whole thing for you? No.

If anything, AI will replace low-level managers before it replaces the people actually doing the work. That is crystal clear to me now.

That’s uncomfortable to think about. If you know your boss is too lazy to write a review then Verizon knows they can replace them with AI. I’ve always thought we had too many TL’s in customer service.

AI is a great tool to get started, but everyone at every level should be personalizing and adjusting to make it human and realistic. I don't shame leaders who used AI to write reviews, I shame them for not taking the time to tweak them and actually prepare for the employee conversation.
