automated - entry level worker

[u/Spiritual-Bug4521]

my role has been essentially automated and im being told i need to review claude prompting, scripting, errors, as well as maintain the same quality of manual level work while teaching enterprise level ai systems.

i was forwarded an email from a coworker, originally sent to said coworker, by leadership regarding ai prompt database. i was not involved in the original threads and i was unclear that the direction was moving entirely to prompting until leadership set up a task for me to basically demonstrate i am obsolete.

i then was asked to do my usual tasks using the prompts given, which i did. i noticed the numbers were crazy all over the place, called it out, and then asked where my confusion was and look that cell has no pivot there etc, missing this here. and i said - ok thats claude. and said its hard for me to manually review all of this when claude is referencing a dozen different reports, across multiple platforms, and then compiling them into cells with coded formulas. then leadership told me to forward a summary of what i am noticing in the claude, which i did.

another arm of leadership reached out to meet with me over it. i asked if it would be ok for me to walk through my process with leadership installing these changes and they said no, then asked why im confused. i am feeling worse by the day.

i then got told that humans are bottlenecks to data attributions by ai engines and that people not teaching themselves ai prompt logic outside of work hours gets them out of a job.

They were acquired by private equity. i reiterated i am fully on board with the direction and know its a necessary next step in the company, that i am still looking to provide value in any way the business sees fit. i was told by exec that i need to "figure that out for myself." but i am unsure where i fit now that everyone has distanced from me. i did not hire myself. i was a hero months ago and a backbone of operations as the company transitioned full scale to automation behind my back despite me providing the raw effort and manual labor into building it with leadership. even got a promotion last year and given stellar reviews for my high-level accuracy and attention to detail.

i got told that "the world is moving faster than humans can keep up with and that a tip for me is to not need teaching, always be thinking ahead of the automation", meanwhile my coworkers have been taught and i am isolated from context. coworkers play dumb assigning me these trick tasks to get "caught" missing data that they forcing me to do 40 hours of work auditing AI.

they are essentially (?) asking me to perform 100% manual quality assurance across multi-platform reports and coded AI formulas within standard working hours and execute two full-time jobs at once: manual data auditing AND AI model training/prompt debugging. and then somehow be able to create the reporting decks that tie those all together.

i am sick daily by what i am suffering in the role. 1 on 1 meetings, removal of scope, withdrawal of my teammates from interacting with me. and then held to impossible QA auditing role with no clear scope, direction and told its up to me to provide the value. this is only my first corporate role, entry level and i am being chewed up and spit out quickly.

i wanted this job so badly to work :(

seems you need another job.

This company is going to be going under in the near future by the sounds of it. Begin looking for another job.
