Would you prefer to be laid off?
I see some people mention they'd love to be laid off, but I'm certainly not among them. Not when jobs are this hard to come by. I'd rather suffer through a bad workplace than unemployment. But apparently, some feel the opposite. And I'm just... — read more

Asks ChatGPT what it thought of AI writing employee reviews.
Here’s where it goes wrong: It ki-ls specificity Good reviews are specific. Bad reviews say: “Consistently demonstrates strong teamwork and leadership.” That’s filler. That’s what AI defaults to if you don’t feed it real input. And vague praise... — read more

Strike Coming
My union president said a strike is the only thing to prevent major concessions being demanded in beargaing by the company. Be ready to accept 1.5 and if lucky some 2’s and crazy insurance increases like we have never seen.
I also have a clueless supervisor who used AI for the review.
It’s a complete joke. My boss is doing the exact same thing. I genuinely don’t think he’s read anything longer than a text message in his life. At this point, it’s no surprise that intellectual laziness has become a full-blown pandemic in America.
How is it going in Verizon India
Leaders are clueless. Everything is a priority as everyone needs to save themselves. No support from your supervisor. Only burnout remains with us. Layoff or rebadging dates are mystery. Save yourself and find an opportunity outside. Otherwise you... — read more

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... — read more
