I’m making $170k, but 80% of my job is just cleaning up hallucinated code from our offshore team. Leadership thinks they’re saving millions by using AI-powered contractors, but I’m spending my entire week fixing basic logic errors and security holes that shouldn't exist. The actual codebase is becoming a house of cards that’s going to collapse. Does anyone else feel like their high salary is basically hazard pay for managing a mountain of AI slop?

There’s a growing premium on leaders who can absorb pressure without transferring panic. Teams remember emotional tone more than strategy slides.

My company just slashed our On-Call Compensation structure by 50% because they claim our new automated monitoring tool reduces the manual burden. In reality, PagerDuty is hitting us just as hard at 2 AM. It feels like an incredibly underhanded way to cut total compensation without changing the official base salary numbers on our contracts. How do you collectively organize a pushback against a policy change?

Is anyone still in a fully remote role? Are you still enjoying it or considering going back to in-office roles?

I know it can be seen as a read flag to job hop, but is it also bad that at a certain point you have too many years with one company?
