I have an AI obsessed boss and regularly lie about how much I use it because productivity is actually measured entirely by their perception of you and not by any real metric. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 25 points 7 months ago I've tried explaining this to me peers that just quietly bust their asses while noisy jerks (including me, but to a lesser extent than most) get perceived as high performers because they engage with their bosses and work on things that have high visibility. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) And their bosses are just lying to their bosses, and it's lying and yessing all up and down the line, and the rest of us out here just have to live with whatever The Machine pukes out for us. permalink fedilink source parent [–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they're going to have to fire me if they can't accept the truth. I'm not lying to save my skin. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago If I was working foe spotify I would honestly lie just to do something better than ask an AI to do bullshit for me permalink fedilink source parent [–] XLE@piefed.social 14 points 7 months ago (3 children) Truth no longer matters to these clowns.

I could believe their entire productivity has been consumed by failing AI slop in code reviews. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RecallMadness@lemmy.nz 6 points 6 months ago It’s probably true. Think of it with this alternate headline: Spotify reclassifies what constitutes a good developer And no doubt, they’re capturing what these “good developers” do to better train the clanker to make the “bad developers” redundant. permalink fedilink source parent
