Our place measures PR counts so a ton of tiny ass PRs is actually the move.

I’m sorry for your shitty workplace.

Yeah it’s not fun. Between that and now quarterly performance reviews things have really gone downhill.

Quarterly? Wow. Some MBA was probably like public companies need to report quarterly so we should put employees on the same schedule! Dumbass idea.

It’s so bad. It’s an absolute waste of time and resources.

Leadership is like “just use AI to speed things up”. But if I’m just pasting slop in and my manager is using slop to parse and give feedback what’s the goddamn point???

My slop machine says you’re not slopping slopply enough! Get back to slopping, and we’ll slopback in few months!

A guy I don’t really like at work does all sorts of AI induced PRs. I think he thinks it makes him look good. It probably does, to management.

I got reprimanded for asking if a guy’s extremely weird code was something he wrote himself. He went crying to my boss about how I’m mean on PRs. Fuck you, William. I hope your house catches fire and you pass out while asking Claude for help.

Hey William, I’m having trouble understanding this code, it looks a little weird, can you walk me through it in detail, and explain how you came to writing it like this?

The responsible, corporate, way of being. Definitely should have done that. I just want people to feel uncomfortable when they have fucked up. Everyone’s just so polite. No one faces social consequences.

This is the same place where they don’t pay for holidays. My boss told me to stop saying things like “I don’t get paid, so it won’t be that good” when they say “have a good holiday”. If grand-boss, ghoul, and preeminent “We don’t pay for holidays” enforcer Anne was locked in a burning building, maybe I’d just say “happy holidays!” and walk away.

To be fair, if i was annoyed enough id maybe ask if they wrote it too hah. That you got reprimanded is ridiculous.
