It honestly seems like people have forgotten what all tech entails with the rise of generative AI.

Like holy shit man, people (at my company at least) now think you can write a program to control what is essentially your entire database system, security and business analytics with chatgpt.

Maybe I’m just not meant for this and this is the norm. But it’s taken me like 2 months to get a handle on three different types of API and program documentation. And I’ve also been doing like sys admin work too.

But three jobs in, and I’m starting to realize this is exactly what companies want. Because why pay multiple people for work in a department when they can just offload everything to one person and pay them nothing and know that the economy is so fucked that you’re basically trapped

Like I integrated one system to another for my senior project in undergrad and I had a little help on that from another business. But now I’m doing it all alone and being expected to work at super speed at the same time

It sounds like one of those things that are like, "Yeah I can do it, but why use someone less skilled and underpaid for it?"

Hiring new people are wildcards. They already have power over you. Bosses like that very much have a sense of ownership over their employees; With expectations that if they say something, it should get done regardless.

It's the kind of situation where that boss is begging to have work done to a substandard quality.
