In the midst of this AI revolution, a few things started to seem normal, like a lot of industries being almost entirely run by robots, or the fact that there is no way to talk to a human being when calling your local shipping company, but what I never expected was that AIs were going to make mistakes, and we were going to have to pay for them. Maybe that was the first thing to expect, instead of a happily-ever-after where robots would work and we got to have fun and lie in the sun.

Entitled boss fires employee to replace him with AI but then demands he come back to blame him for the AI’s mistakes: 'There is a TV monitor showing an interactive AI man who was the “analyst” that the clients can talk to'

Very few things are more pathetic than someone trying to command an authority they don’t have, or pretending to have everything under control when they clearly don’t, but when it comes to our ridiculous bosses, we love to see it unfold. That’s the case for this Redditor, who shared a story about a very “interesting” manager, who’s also his boss’s wife.

Employee plans to leave his job without notice and refuses to train his designated successor: 'If anything remotely related to "what she does" is brought up by the employees, I tell them that they'll have to reach out to her, and I can't help them'

From afar, it's easy to say that someone could use this or that opportunity to improve themselves, and that the person will likely find another job in no time if needed; but when you're in the midst of it, depending economically on a boss that seems to want so much more from you than you can actually provide in the present moment, going to work every dan can turn into an anxiety-filled odissey.

Boss expects junior new hire to perform like an employee with 10 years of experience: 'I don't even know what my actual job description means anymore.'
