A post from the blind app under Software Engineering Career, Meta, p9qFPw9V.

Title: Stop making me justify my paycheck.

Post content:

I don't want a yearly performance review. I don't want to spend two hours filling out a form about my "top accomplishments" like I forgot what I worked on all year. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement.

I also don't want to invent five ways I should magically do more next year for the same money. If I mess up, tell me when it happens. If I'm doing fine, stop asking me to write essays about it.

Let me just enjoy the holidays and leave me be!

I agree with this. Identify and address issues as they happen, not every 6 months. Name and celebrate wins as they happen too. Have a voluntary process for promotions and such.

Screenshot of a paper entry:
Fictional Failures and Real-World Lessons: Ethical Speculation Through Design Fiction on Emotional Support Conversational AI

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.
