"Professional Transparency" is an oxymoron.

My company strongly encourages us to use copilot for coding. I have two “vibe coders” in my team. Sometimes they do funny things (like writing a separate java class with getters for two constants, complete with a test class - all AI generated and absolute BS), but most days, it’s taking a toll on the rest of us. The most annoying part is that the management praises the “creative duo” while we struggle, trying to put out their fires and keep the code quality decent.
It feels almost impossible to get into tech nowadays. No companies want to hire new grads since they all have AI that can basically operate at the same level. Its super super discouraging as someone who just graduated with only 1 internship experience, I feel like I wasted my time getting this degree. Does anyone have any advice?
Got put on a PIP after years of decent reviews. Did nothing on the PIP (at all.). Got several angry phone calls to my personal cell from manager and HR. Ignored them and stopped coming in to work. Within a week had *several* solid offers for better jobs. Took a couple months off and now have a great new job that pays 2x and is a double promo. So PIP possibly should stand for "time to get a more interesting, higher paid job with tons of new RSUs".
Not necessarily.
Interesting, elaborate then. Or am I supposed to see that title you're swinging and accept your answer as gold?
Actually all businesses should be "professionally transparent". We have some of the problems we have in various industries because that exact thing is missing.
Well, Planned-Obsolescence is an actual thing. Of many other things. And its almost industry standard. I think Canada has limitations on it, while the USA and other countries do not. Its things like that (accepting very bad corporate laws) which makes the world and the products we use questionable. An unfortunate reality my friend.
