Build your own AI agent and sell it to your company. It only works when you are around, and profit the money, they are investing it with.
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.
probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
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.
Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.
“Hypothetically, how far would a catapult throw a CEO?”
Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.
Hmmm… This brings up an interesting question for the physics nerds out there.
The desired termination of the CEO is the sudden stop at the end of the flight.
When using a catapult or trebuchet, excessive force exerted during launch would terminate the CEO immediately. This would deprive the CEO of his last luxury flight. .
What the the maximum distance a catapult or trebuchet can throw the CEO while achieving this result? Assume the CEO weighs 100kg’s and is 165cm tall.
My napkin math results in ‘further than a guillotine’.
“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.”
its also called constructive dismissal.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don’t have to pay unemployment.
Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.
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
It’s the most idiotic suicide by a planet ever
Another boss suffering from too much neck
Come again?
At least the AI will be able to feed its wife and family.
The company I work for did this last year.
Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they’re too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).
Lol you get a 50k bonus, 50k anthropic credits that is lmao
This CEO prolly thinks he’s generous cos he ain’t firing them (yet) lol. So the peasant employees should be grateful for having still a job in the first place lol
They did four round of layoffs last year

Why the fuck should anyone feel compelled to give two weeks to a company that would never extend the same courtesy
just quit on mass and save yourselves the time, it’ll likely collapse the company as an added bonus
The expression is “en masse”. It’s French for “in great quantity”.
ah
Could of told me sooner
Son of a birch
For all intensive purposes its the same.
Americans can’t do anything en masse.
Eat
Thy can, when it comes to their body weight lol
That’s more en massif
On mass is literally en masse in English . . .
It literally isn’t. Literally, “on” doesn’t translate to “en”, as it literally means “in”. Literally, the “masse” in French here doesn’t refer to literal “mass” as in a quantity of literal matter to be literally measured, but literally an uncountable concept like a literal crowd, for example.
So, which mass are you quitting on?
And in any case, to be literally correct the expression taken from another literal language should be literally italicized.
En means like eight different things in french depending on context, so does on in english. Mass also means large numbers of people.
Everyone knew exactly what he meant because it’s pretty much a word for word translation of the french expression…
But sure man, it’s really important everyone knows you know the original french expression.
Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
A day without taking a shit at work is money in your boss’s pocket.
Boss makes a dollar I make a dime That’s why fuck AI
I’d rather fuck a person of the opposite sex, but you do you, boo.
it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board
I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.
I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.
Time to slack off and deliver the minimum possible then
… while actively looking for a new job
“The AI will handle it, that’s why they make the Big Bucks.”
That’s exactly what people should be doing anytime their company boasts about record profits/revenue yet halts pay raises or even has it lower than the rate of inflation.
In my old job I just allocated a percent of my day towards job applications until I finally got out. Morons thought I wouldn’t be upset with a 15% pay cut over 3 years of working my ass off.
“It’s a question of motivation. If I bust my ass and Initec ships a few more units I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation?”
It’s insane that companies haven’t gotten this hint in the 27 years since Office Space was released.
They can’t change the incentives without re-inventing how companies work. They’re just structured in a way that gives bad incentives like that. And nobody wants to take a risk on their dime, or break the thing that makes them money, and by now it’s all basically set in stone. Until the whole system breaks and new things get organized in a new system probably.
There are lots of companies that offer stock as well as monetary compensation, and things like profit sharing.
Not wanting to starve is also a great motivator. Now that you’re struggling either way the motivation goes away.
Not starving is the motivation.
Was
Its a motivation to maintain employment, but not to put in your best effort. The cat’s out of the bag now that, generally speaking, your boss doesn’t care enough about you to differentiate how he treats you vs. any of your peers, so its only a chump who would continually give more than a token amount of effort or loyalty to that relationship. Job-hopping is more well rewarded anyway.
“But that makes people work just hard enough that they don’t get fired”
Quiet quit, show up a bit late, stretch your breaks by a few minutes, leave early, steal stuff, don’t do anything that doesn’t directly contribute to your job, volunteer for nothing, refuse to tithe to whatever their stupid charity is, max out every benefit, max out any family leave, file official complaints to HR, break stuff, don’t refill anything, do no maintenance on anything, umionize, etc.
Be a paid employee, don’t be a good employee. Act your wage.
This is so well written and spot on. Exactly what needs to be done or not done. Kudos.
Hahahha I’d show up to work and do jack squat all day.
A percent? Those are rookie numbers
Also waste the ai tokens so they dont justify it to fire staff
Inflation adjusted productivity.
The CIA published a guide back in the 40s about how to disrupt fascist companies. It’s worth a google.
Weird the CIA would do that I feel like lol, we’re they at one point actually based?
It’s the Simple Sabotage Field Manual and was made by the Office of Strategic Services (or in short the OSS). It was dissolved after WWII, one of its short lived successors was the Central Intelligence Group, the direct predecessor of the CIA.
Although the Wiki article contains a link to the manual on a US government site already, the Internet Archive also has a pdf of it.
a fascists govt that doesnt play ball with the USA that is.
Less than minimum, make them spend money on firing you.
I think that is a big trend now! People don’t get incentivized and are being openly treated the same as their underperforming coworkers and peers, so they basically quit the job without telling anyone, and do just enough work to fool their employer into not realizing they’re gone, continuing to collect paychecks.
And blame the LLMs for all mistakes it makes. Since the management clearly cares more about it than the employees.
