The irony of reading an AI script telling viewers there job will be automated away by AI for low impact work. At this pint just advertise your stuff and call it a day bro.

I don’t understand why bad managers are allowed to keep their jobs. Bad managers are way worse than no managers.

I used to work for a hot tech startup in Calgary. We were going places. I was not. It was unfortunate. Best decision I ever did was leave them. I'm now making almost 4x the amount. It wasn't even my manager that was the problem, it was the people above him. I was just not on the list of people that passed the bias. It took me 2 years to figure that out. Not to worry, I moved on. It wasn't hard, it was easy. The reward started almost right away.

At least the companies I have been at. As long as you are a dynamic managers go to person, you do get free growth opportunities. You should push, but you often are presented with growth just simply by being a very capable person. But maybe that is harder the bigger the company is.
