If only AI would get banned at work.

    My job was better before copilot infiltrated every corner of my software suite. I have a job in which being right is more important than being fast, so LLMs are useless to me - but that doesn’t mean my managers, many of whom can barely open a pdf, aren’t constantly trying to foist it on me.

    In case you in fact do not know how to write a resignation letter, let me help demonstrate using a standard way, and a fancy way:

    standard

    I quit.

    fancy

    Dear ,

    I quit.

    Sincerely,

    It should be noted that and are placeholders that you would replace with the name of your manager and the name they put on your paycheck under “Pay to the order of” field, respectively.

    That's for "at will" employment in the US. Other countries actually have rules you need to follow, both ways. The employer needs to give you a grace period, and you need to as well, under risk of penalties or invalidation of unemployment benefits.

    So no, it isn't just a "I quit" letter.

    Another primo example of American exceptionalism.

    Another primo example of American exceptionalism someone speaking from their personal experiences.

    Thank you for educating me about how other places in the world work. But I will not let you shame me for not magically knowing everything about how other cultures work.

    Nope. I'd do a search and use one of the hundreds of resignation letter templates I'd find.

    As extensively as I use AI for work and personal use, I understand I still need to know where and how to find things. These LLMs are trained on damn near the entire Internet, and that data didn't just disappear.

    Is this intended to be relatable or scornful?

    I would be ecstatic if AI was banned at work. Fucking sick of people dumping absolute dogshit on me and expecting me to make sense of it.

    Now, if I was forced to use AI, I'd probably quit unless I could find an easy way to circumvent it. But honestly probably not even then, because being forced to use it is a really bad sign.

    My resignation letters have always been fact-based and short. Nothing about reason or cause. Just: "I'm resigning. Date, last day, Thx, Bye."

    On one job a while back, I resigned, but management had a PIP quota. So they put me back, pipped me, and gave me a severance check.

    Like an idiot, I was like: "But I already quit."

    Manager and HR on line are like: 🤦🏻‍♂️

    If the President of the United States can resign in one sentence, so can I.
