Currently at the office on a Monday morning after they fired they guy above me a few months back and are now expecting me to not only do my job but his job as well. They raised my pay by $1 an hour, by the way. Jokes on them because I'm putting in exactly as much effort as one should while expected to do two peoples jobs for low pay and it's not that much work at all.

    I'm in a similar situation, my entire team of 6 was laid off except for me. Now I'm on a team of 3 with an AI and expect to do more now than before. I've told them numerous times the AI has only slowed us down due to the numerous mistakes it makes but they don't like hearing things that make them question their "brilliant" decision making abilities.

    I've decided to in a way to quiet quit and literally let the AI do everything like they wanted. I know its making tons of mistakes but I simply don't care anymore. Things will go to shit and deadlines will be missed I'll blame the AI and tell them I was told numerous times its great and to use it. I'll probably still get fired but then they will lose the last person who understands all of the projects my team had worked on for years. I'll be fine but I can't say the same about them.

    This is how you're supposed to respond to awful management directives. Follow it to the T and when it fails tell them why.

    If you 'do the right thing' and create work-arounds and hidden fixes to problems management created, they will think their decisions were absolutely justified and were the correct course of action. They'll pat themselves on the back, give you an attaboy, and move into the next disaster with misplaced confidence, all without ever seeing all the cracks in their plan that you silently filled as you carried the weight on your back.
