Got my performance review today.

@fn0rd Having morals and a clear view is not in every environment appreciated.
@WingedSnake Too true
-
@fn0rd lol this can't be real
@saxnot I did not want to post an exact quote, but you'll have to trust me it's sadly close enough.
-
@deborahh @johncormier Appreciate it
-
@fn0rd did the AI thing come from the team or your manager?
@leyrer The manager. Which, to be fair, got it from *his* managers.
-
@kkarhan The job market is such that finding a position with a different company, let alone one that doesn't aggressively push LLM use, is non-trivial.
-
@JackMcGraw HR has been pushing all managers to use LLMs when writing performance reviews. My manager in particular was very clear he used LLMs when writing his reviews.
-
@fn0rd I'm probably cynical, but that reads like just about every performance review I've ever had: Awesome work. Obligatory negative statement. Meets expectations.
(That said, the AI angle is even more dystopian and I support you looking for a better job)
@igrok Totally fair. Still frustrating though :).

@fn0rd thought so

Got my performance review today.
Positive feedback: literally every member of my team says I'm the best manager they have ever had. I solved multiple long-standing problems the team has been dealing with for years. Team members feel safe to share their struggles, everyone feels empowered, everyone receives valuable feedback.
Negative feedback: I am not enthusiastic enough about AI.
Overall ranking: 3/5.Anyone hiring for a fully remote team lead?

@fn0rd you deserve better
life is too short being around ingratespersonally I think it's very admirable and grounded to use tools as-is without being blinded by the hype. the capabilities of LLM and GPT in a realistic sense are pretty limited and reducing your performance review because of not buying enough into the hype puts a bad mark on whomever did the review
