class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pexels\/Reddit<\/p>\n<p>Corporate culture thrives on busywork that looks important but accomplishes nothing.<\/p>\n<p>So when a flashy new director came in swinging with unnecessary demands, one checked-out employee simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/antiwork\/comments\/1pcae4j\/used_ai_to_write_my_yearend_self_evaluation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">let AI handle the self-evaluation<\/a> she was being pressured to write.<\/p>\n<p>And her plan worked like a charm!<\/p>\n<p>Read on for the full story.<\/p>\n<p>My team has a new director after a bloodbath of layoffs.<\/p>\n<p>This person is a total corporate bootlicker and is requiring everyone to write a year-end self-evaluation even though the HR documentation says it\u2019s optional.<\/p>\n<p>So this employee decided to get back at her controlling director.<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of aligning with the corporate initiative to leverage AI to streamline processes, I used AI to write my self-evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>I just gave it a bullet list of things I worked on and it generated a beautiful evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>I will never again put any effort into this pointless HR exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Work smarter, not harder, folks!<\/p>\n<p>Redditors chime in with their thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something beautiful about just matching energy \u2014 especially in the corporate world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-680085\"
