    Did everyone clap, too?

    I just don’t believe a boss would commit to writing “your output is higher and better but I like Tad’s vibe better.”

    Just begging for a visit from HR.

      I’ve been a union rep for a good few years and honestly you wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve seen managers put in writing. “It is company policy to commit crimes here” levels of brazenly breaking the law, especially for stuff like disability discrimination. I can 100% believe this.

        My bosses must be smarter than the most them because they refuse to ever put anything in writing.

        Tbh, “company policy” are magical words.

        I assume if something illegal gets labeled as “Company Policy” (even though it isn’t), the company should immediately be held accountable regardless - so terrible managers don’t get to throw those two words around as a magic shield to protect themselves from employees being cognitively indisonant, unlike their perfect selves.

      I don’t believe this but you can absolutely fire someone for vibes.

      Your attitude does affect team members. I’d happily fire a high out put team member for being an ass.

        Being an “ass” is one thing (making conflicts like it’s yoir job).

        Paying people preferentially because you and a couple of your buddies like them a bit (bonus points if you spend private time together as well) should be about 3 red flags for everyone involved.

      These days there’s the possibly that a manager might just use an AI for response and not consider the implications if the tone looks professional at a glance, perhaps. There’s something that feels AI-ish about it anyway, but that could simply be the corporate “professional” writing style I suppose.

        Oh thanks we figured it out together

        Knew it was fake when I read it but now I see, LLM-generated fake

        You can smell the prompt, or the way the model almost took it as a joke
