"Professional Transparency" is an oxymoron.

My team just spent a ton of time interviewing for a software engineering position and right before we put an offer out the headcount got axed. Super frustrating and feels like a complete waste of time that we all dedicated to the process. Anyone else deal with something like this? Honestly I'm pretty annoyed and wish they just never opened the position up from the start
I’m currently surviving day 45 of a 60-day PIP, and the psychological warfare of this process is worse than the actual threat of being fired. I’ve hit every single arbitrary metric they set for me so far, but my manager still treats me like a stranger and documents every casual Slack message I send. It’s completely obvious that the plan isn't meant to rehabilitate me, it’s just a legal shield for HR to clear the desk. If you actually managed to beat a PIP, did you stay at the company or just use the time to find a clean exit?
My company strongly encourages us to use copilot for coding. I have two “vibe coders” in my team. Sometimes they do funny things (like writing a separate java class with getters for two constants, complete with a test class - all AI generated and absolute BS), but most days, it’s taking a toll on the rest of us. The most annoying part is that the management praises the “creative duo” while we struggle, trying to put out their fires and keep the code quality decent.
Not necessarily.
Interesting, elaborate then. Or am I supposed to see that title you're swinging and accept your answer as gold?
Actually all businesses should be "professionally transparent". We have some of the problems we have in various industries because that exact thing is missing.
Well, Planned-Obsolescence is an actual thing. Of many other things. And its almost industry standard. I think Canada has limitations on it, while the USA and other countries do not. Its things like that (accepting very bad corporate laws) which makes the world and the products we use questionable. An unfortunate reality my friend.
