These kinds of tools can easily just be the fall guy. An excuse they use to get rid of you. Then if you complain, they can just be like "the AI did it!"

Suddenly, viciously reminded of that quote: "If a machine cannot be held accountable, it cannot be allowed to make a management decision" (paraphrased)

Just like return to office, relocations, and the overwhelming majority of performance metrics.

Cheap excuses for shit managers that can't or won't handle their employees (and firing of them) properly.
