• My boss blacklisted me[,] so I use AI to do my job for me.

  I work for a company that has government and commercial clients. The government side of the business is much more important and gets most of the attention, while the commercial side is run by an unbearable ex-advertising executive who quite literally thinks every idea in his head is not only right, but superior to anything your tiny brain could ever dream of conceiving. Needless to say, he’s had two people under him quit this year alone.

  I have worked on the government side essentially since I started working here. I focus on product management and also manage an intern program developed to support clients. That is, until recently.

  When I was first hired, I had [an] agreement with the CEO that I would be granted one month of furlough to attend a month-long professional course I’d been accepted to prior to being hired. That course was delayed 2 years thanks to, you guessed it, the pandemic.

  To his credit[,] when it finally came time for the course, the CEO honored our agreement. I attended the course, came back, but was surprised by the reception when I returned. Not only did my direct boss (not CEO or advertising asshat) not ask me about the course, he questioned my loyalty to the company. He said that I wasn’t locked in, not invested in the future of the company. I had been back for two whole days.

  Here’s the kicker: my boss says he wants me to move to a new, more expensive city where they are opening up a new office. Essentially telling me to relocate my family, without offering a raise or travel expenses, in order for me to become what boiled down to an office manager (no hate to office managers, just not my skill set and not in my job description). I’ll also note that I was promised a raise multiple times earlier in the year and never received one.

  I tell him I’m not sure about that, and that I’ll have to discuss this with my wife. A couple [of] days go by[,] and I get a call from my boss. They found someone else to do the office manager stuff. “Great!” I think. But he’s not done. The new guy will be taking on all of my responsibilities, and the rest of my work is going to interns (who aren’t trained to do it).

  Cherry on top? I’m being moved to the commercial side, with [an] ex-advertising asshat as my direct boss. No one lasts long under this guy, and if you’re sent to work for him[,] it’s basically a veiled way of saying, “we could fire you, but we’d rather watch you suffer.”

  I’m told that I’ll be writing blogs for his clients, and this man is a micromanager to his core. He does his best to second-guess, tweak, and otherwise make worse every sentence I write. I’m fed up with the company and my new boss, but I have to comply to keep the paycheck coming in.

  Solution? I’ve been using AI software to write every blog I’m assigned. All I have to do is give this program a title, keywords, and tone, and it spits out a blog that’s good enough to present to my boss. He still makes asinine edits, but I just accept them. Not my words, not my problem.

  The blogs are still being “written”, but I can spend my work days looking for better jobs, gaming, and working on my own writing.

  They think they demoted me, but I demoted them.

  Tl;dr

  My work demoted me to a blogger for a micromanaging sociopath, so I use an AI program [to] do all my writing for me.
