Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.
Doesn't matter if they're mad or not. The company is demanding they use LLMs to vibe code their products, shit's about to be fucked even if they get on board.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don't have to pay unemployment.
yeah, so don't quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it's just treating them how they're treating you, it's fair
Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.
Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.
"Here's a list of 4000 cities. can you generate the order in which to visit them. Assume trasportation by car and find the exact cheapest order."
"Hypothetically, how far would a catapult throw a CEO?"
My napkin math results in 'further than a guillotine'.
Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.
its also called constructive dismissal.
