  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

This feels fake. I could be wrong and hope I am.

No manager competent enough to write that well is going to put anything like that down in writing. Totally fake.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

There ARE a lot of incompetent managers out there though ...

It actually sounds like ChatGPT, so...

I worked for an IT manager who fired me after I pointed out that he was scammed for buying a 6 pack 1TB flash drives from Amazon for $40.

He wrote an email saying I was a jerk for delegitimizing his authority which I took to HR and was fired the next day "for not being a good culture fit" and was paid to be under a nondisclosure for half a year.

I am like Mulder, I believe the morons are out there.

Yep. This would never ever be an email. It'll be a in-person meeting.

Why? It leaves a paper trial, and it's written too "smart".

I have broken some HR policies before - real stupid ones (like using the bathroom too much or something ridiculous) and had "the meeting".

But when I ask them to give me a written version of the issues after the meeting, it's always vague and points to line items in the handbook.

It's an AI written justification.

Could still be fake, but there are absolutely people that are this stupid and use chatgpt.

It doesn't read like it's generated, but I'm not really that savvy on these things

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

There's people at Amazon that thought an AI only phone is a good idea

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

That was one of my first thoughts too, but I'm not sure that's a sign of it being fake.

The whole thing is curious but I'd need more detail to make a confident statement.
