Welcome to Dear Bossy, our Sorta Bossy advice column!
Adrienne and co-host Emily Doyle answer questions from listeners (all submitted anonymously) and pull real scenarios from the messy middle of managing people.
Today's question, from an anonymous listener:
"My manager uses AI for literally everything -- and I mean everything. She used ChatGPT for my performance review, wrote a farewell message for a 10-year colleague with it, and sends me client communications that are pure AI slop with no edits. She laughs about it openly. I want to bring it up but I don't want to cause an issue. What do I do?"
