Blaming AI for taking your job is like blaming the affair partner instead of your cheating spouse. The AI didn't hire itself. Talk to your manager.

“Hard work always pays off.”
Sure, if by “pays off” you mean more burnout while someone else gets promoted. Let’s talk about the myth of meritocracy and why effort ≠ reward in most workplaces.

The Myth of Meritocracy: Why Effort ≠ Reward in Most Workplaces

đŸ˜± Oh look, another groundbreaking revelation: "Normalization of Deviance" is just fancy talk for collective lunacy at the office.

I told the AI to mock me in every response.

Not because I enjoy digital abuse, but because I'm teaching myself a critical skill: words don't hurt, I need to focus on the content.
I always smile and even laugh, but some things still hurts and waste my energy.

Most people at work doesn't even recognise that they are hurting with their words and behaviour.
Oddly enough, this machine understands me better than most humans.

Which raises a question I never thought I'd ask seriously:
🧠 Could AI be the better moderator in team conflicts?
💬 Could it be a more neutral People Lead?
🎭 Imagine AI mediating political debates
 No emotion, just facts.

Until then, I'll keep training myself in the art of digital emotional damage.
One sarcastic line at a time. 😈
