For all my user facing work I’m now required to do an AI summary of what I did and the impact. That summary is then graded by AI, against an AI generated rubric. For my yearly review, I use AI to summarize my summaries, and my managers AI summarizes the AI generated grades.
I’m also required to explain how I use AI in my work. I must plan all of my future work, with an AI tool. Another AI assesses whether my work is aligning with planned work.
Before I work and after I work, there is a million circular references that exist solely because of AI. These have scaled because it’s so easy to do with AI, but the we’re wasting so much time doing a ton of extra things very efficiently.
Let me do my job. My manager should know how I’m doing. Maybe highlight key wins. CSATs/etc go out every year.
Even before my last job had internally approved AI, my manager told me how he was using chatgpt on his personal computer to prepare our yearly reviews. Then when they released AI internally a few weeks later, it was still review time, and their first advertised use case was for doing your own self eval and the evals for your reports. I am willing to deal with vibed code but turning over employee evals to AI too is a sign of truly terrible management
Does any of this get read? I mean by an actual human?
This sounds truly Kafkaesque. And thank you for finally allowing me to use that word in earnest.
The people who in theory read these are managers 3+ levels above me, so I honestly have no idea. I know my manager reads mine, but I haven’t seen any outcome from that.
I honestly got turned off a few sentences in. Sounds like a nightmare.

Kafka and Byzantium had a baby.
So….you have outsourced multiple layers of middle-management to AI? I am not sure getting AI to write and review your TPS reports is going to move the needle.
The TPS production/consumption stats disagree, they're up 300% just this quarter. Can't argue with results
