The way I see chatGPT used by management at my company is frightening. Instead of doing any actual research, they just throw things into chatGPT blindly and run with it. They are extremely confident in the output. They are more confident in the chatGPT output than their own staff.

They have no clue how the models work. They have no clue how to engage with the models. They aren’t even reviewing the output.

Today my VP said that she ran our procedure document through chatGPT in order to determine what improvements could be made to the process. She sent me an email with the output. We had no meetings about the process, no analysis or process flows. No data or metrics. No hypothesis, pain-points, etc.

She then asked me to upload to chatGPT emails and notes about a situation, and ask it for advice on how we could do better? I put a question mark because I’m still not even sure wtf she wants.

A different VP asked it to search his emails and to summarize all the points related to a very specific topic. A highly visible topic that we have been discussing for 18 mos. He sent the output summary to everyone to use as the basis for an important memo. He did not check or review the summary. He didn’t compare it to any existing documents or analysis for context or relevance. It basically summarized any idea, thought, or comment on the subject. It was terribly inaccurate.

This is happening more and more.

I am a senior manager. I have been in my current role for six years and have been fortunate enough to have many great projects under my belt.

I have read that at 6-8 bullets is recommended, but I feel like that undersells what I have accomplished.

If I have a lot of strong experience relevant to the job i am applying for, will having more bullet points hurt me?

Say I had 12 bullet points?

I’m trying to think about it from the perspective of the human reviewer and the AI screening tools.

Thanks

I’m finding it so incredibly difficult to juggle performing above average at my job/career, working out, and being a good father.

There just isn’t enough time in the day, something has to give. I mean some people get lucky, but that is the exception not the rule.

I’m just running myself too thin.

Your thoughts?
