Got my performance review today.

[ilookloud@retro.pizza]

@fn0rd I see. That's awful. I hope your colleagues' perspective and opinion of you as a manager countervails this insanity at least in part.

[fn0rd@mastodon.social]

@ellyxir That is, as a former colleague used to say, "funny, but not 'Ha-Ha' funny".

[sabik@rants.au]

@fn0rd
Verify how?

If you're required to burn tokens, burn tokens ‍️

If there may be spot checks, you can set it up so when you start to work on a ticket, you also send the code and the ticket to an agent, then don't look at its output (until after you've finished, if at all)

#GenAI #LLM #MaliciousCompliance

[lorancou@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@fn0rd Obviously you are not addressing the right problems, duh

[pascaline@mastodon.nl]

@fn0rd

That's such a shame, really.
Appreciated by humans, not by the ones who outsourced their critical thinking to AI.

[fn0rd@mastodon.social]

@lorancou Yup. We call that "being misaligned with corporate priorities".

[wingedsnake@mastodon.berlin]

@fn0rd Having morals and a clear view is not in every environment appreciated.

[ninafelwitch@tech.lgbt]

@fn0rd
My manager is completely useless. Can't do anything right. Can't even do basic copy-paste properly. Another manager is absolutely incompetent. But he LOVES genAI. Does everything with it. EVERYTHING.

I hate it so much.

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@fn0rd lol this can't be real

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@fn0rd it has reached levels of "you did not clap hard enough for the dictator"

[saxnot@chaos.social]

@fn0rd @the_roamer the definition did not change
they just measured wrong and frustrated one of their most important social assets

[deborahh@cosocial.ca]

@fn0rd @johncormier way to go!

Your team is very lucky.
For now …

Best of luck to you.

[samiamsam@mastodon.social]

@fn0rd

yikes

i recently left a job and in my exit interview i mentioned that the company has perfected a way to run off good employees

i'm not sure the interviewer really understood, but maybe eventually

[leyrer@23.social]

@fn0rd did the AI thing come from the team or your manager?

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@fn0rd seriously, getting 3/5 just because you ain't a fan of #AIslop?

• FFS!
• Yeah, I'd too seek *"greener pastures"*y
  • In fact I'd choose 'death over #AI'* every time because it doesn't make sense for me to even consider a #SlopBot! I'd rather blow the same money wasted for " #AItokens " on #Monero (or just spend it for something useful like groceries)…

#Amazonimplosion

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@samiamsam @fn0rd I had this at a different company.

After 2 of the 4+1 people on the Linux-IT team got (not legally!) 'mobbed out' by upper managment with mandatory in-office time (despite none of the systems being onsite and one would've to commute 500km (!) one-way (!!) twice a week (!!!) whist the other dragged themselves into the office with a fresh knee surgery, the remaining 2+1 [I was still in] got ordered crunchtime (as if that was excuseable in a regular IT infrastructure!).

• I dared to ask 'what consequences do we take away from this? I'm not asking financially, but like structural and organizational…' and the CxO in the meeting looked at me as if I had personally insulted them.
  • Needless to say, they didn't get why said people went away, and AFAICT not only did I and the rest of the Linux team quit, but even my successor quit afterwards (cuz I happen to randomly meet them at a different company long after that!)…

Funny how small the world actually is…

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@Djo85 @fn0rd well, here many companies can offer up to €50 p.m. in non-monetary bonises like vouchers for like different shops.

• OFC not every company does it, but still…

[quoidian@mastodon.online]

@fn0rd
They are scoring AI too heavily.

[igrok@hachyderm.io]

@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)
