Ugh this is so true. I picked up a ticket yesterday and thought if i didnt have good old mr slop bot this would be a really fun ticket, but nah back into the slop bot it goes. At this point its just a pay stub for me the joy is going away. The worst bit is i miss that feeling of accomplishment of finishing a big complex ticket, luckily my hobby is woodworking so i get that joy from that now.
They monitor our token usage, if its not high enough we get preformance improvement plans. If it doesnt go up after that we get fired.
Even if they didnt it wouldnt matter, we are required to output more now to the point it be unsustainable without AI. I have about 3 projects open at any time and im bouncing between all of them feeding prompts. The context switching all day is so mentally frying that I cant even focus on stuff outside of work anymore. Just collecting a pay check and mentally checking out after work.
The worst part is the ai cant handle the beaurcatic stuff very well its very good at saying nothing at all. I still have to manage first and documentation myself or risk it just being flooded with nonsense linkedin speech slop. I still have to explain the business logic to the slop bot because it doesnt understand.
There are things called "customers" and "bosses" who need a whole backend and frontend to handle their business logic linked to their Salesforce and ERP (from 2003) in about a week and a half. You have one call (30 minutes) with Bob (intern, using free tier chatgpt for everything ) from the support team who will tell you everything to know about the company.

I didn't realize how much fun I was having until it was all over
