Quit, without notice.
Insta-quit.
Agree on the quit, disagree on the insta.
Use the time to apply and interview for a new job. Once you've secured a new position, then you quit. Don't hurt your own finances while you hurt your old company.
And it's up to you how much notice you give. Worth considering whether to preserve the professional relationships, or torch that bridge.
Working hard and working effectively are not always the same thing.
Not working hard or effectively is always the same thing.
Work hard to get paid. Once you get paid, dial back that work folks. Dial it right back.
I can see a situation where that makes sense. A colleague who keeps morale up can be at least as important for the team as one who works hard
...on the other hand, it can also be a way for managers to reward their loyal favorites for no particular reason.
I dunno, this makes me happy we have collectively bargained wages at my workplace
Yeah, the manager fucked up by providing too much info and wording it poorly. If it's "you two have different skills and contribute to the team in different ways" that's another story. If Marcus is also making sure the rest of the team feels supported and keeps morale high then that is work too! (As someone who often fills the emotional support human role, on top of regular duties, I'm glad that this could be recognized). Productivity is more than work output, and comparison is the thief of joy.
If the person is upset because they feel their workload is too high, or that they aren't being compensated for their own work, then that's a different convo they should be having.
"You're a mule and we will work you as hard as you let us. Quit if you don't like how we run things."
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.
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
There's people at Amazon that thought an AI only phone is a good idea
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.
The world has enough "what's your reaction?" content. No need to poll the internet, just make a decision and move on with your life.
This is like saying the world has enough stories, so new stories don't have a place anymore.
Hard disagree.
Should take your own advice sometimes? The world has enough comments.
I, however, am all for documenting unfair treatment and putting it out in the open.
but how else am I going to make thousands of people incessantly angry at a strawman if I don't make them think I haven't made it up?
THINK OF THE CLICKS! THE CLIIICKS! (to the tune of "She takes premium, dude")
But it’s scary!
Did everyone clap, too?
I just don’t believe a boss would commit to writing “your output is higher and better but I like Tad’s vibe better.”
Just begging for a visit from HR.
I've been a union rep for a good few years and honestly you wouldn't believe the shit I've seen managers put in writing. "It is company policy to commit crimes here" levels of brazenly breaking the law, especially for stuff like disability discrimination. I can 100% believe this.
My bosses must be smarter than the most them because they refuse to ever put anything in writing.
I don't believe this but you can absolutely fire someone for vibes.
Your attitude does affect team members. I'd happily fire a high out put team member for being an ass.

Yeah, don't believe this at all. Reads like some dream sequence someone had. Even the dumbest managers wouldn't say something this stupid, they all know this is a trip right to HR.
Consider yourself lucky then.
I have absolutely met managers this dumb. I had a manager quote me in an email reply, with what was quoted in the same email chain and included with the other replies, then forward it (still including all the replies!) claiming that he "rescued" me from a client incident because I didnt reply.
With the reply from me just two emails below.
Yes, there are absolute idiots in management who would 100% reply with this.
I have had managers send me emails telling me to ignore warehouse safety standards set by OSHA, regardless of what the warehouse personnel tell me when I'm there for the day.
Also had managers that recorded themselves breaking company safety rules and post to social media.
I've even had one manager that straight up pointed a gun at me in front of 3 cameras thinking it was a funny joking thing.
Never assume management has a single brain cell, let alone enough to realize when something probably shouldn't be done or said.
Even the dumbest managers
You're overestimating people.

Can’t tell if the boss’ reply is AI text or just kool-aid drunk businessman.
absolutely written by AI. I can even guess the prompt
Do the minimum and go around the office socializing. If they complain, show them the email and tell them you're working on the metrics they care about the most.
Rage bait. Fake and straight.
that reply is all you need, time to start looking for something else
“What is it you’d say you do here?”
“I’m a vibes person! I deal with vibes!”

Find another job, get a start date, call out first day of new job, if you like new job quit old next morning. They don't deserve any notice. Simple.
