It's an AI written justification.

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

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.

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

It actually sounds like ChatGPT, so...

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.

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

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.
