Yep, 100%.
Business has made it clear they don’t care, so there’s no point in burning one’s energy. Throw the whole thing on auto, check out, and go do something else during the day.

- FridgeSeal 3mo agoPlenty of companies, very much _want_ this. I agree, that work in these places is likely short lived, if for no other reason than working in them is awful and demoralising. My point is, that these places exist, and have such a hard-on for “oh my god, AI!!!1!1!” that putting in extra effort there, is a waste of your own energy.

- butlike 3mo agoI'm just thinking: The result is net-net the same. Either they terminate your contract as a salaried employee or they do it as a consultant. The fee is higher as a consultant and you never have to say you were fired. You're making a really good argument for getting into consulting. You can just answer the same rote questions to different companies for max salary, then when the going gets tough you can essentially 'fire' the company and say they've moved past your core consulting paradigm. Maybe suggest a new consultant and move one. Rinse; repeat.
