I quit my job in public accounting for many reasons, but the primary one was the forceful adoption of LLMs to replace associates.

I told the dimwits at the top that it was a mistake, because LLMs are incompetent even when the information fed to it was perfect, and that was rarely the case in practice.

Our ultra wealthy clients were notorious for giving us the most incomplete and asinine information, and it often took someone with decades of experience to decipher what the fuck their personal assistants are even talking about.

They went ahead anyway because of the high cost of wages, of course, and I made my exit because I did not wish to be complicit in such a monumental mistake.

Lmfao the LLM they laid associates off and paid half a million dollars for made up fake ledger accounts when accounts didn’t reconcile, and none of the dumbasses left noticed in time because they hadn’t done associate-level work in decades.

It also lied all the time, even when you asked it not to.

The damage was done and the biggest clients started leaving, so they begged us all to come back but I got obsessed with baking bread and I ain’t about to neglect my sourdough starters to help a group of people who would lose a battle of wits against yeast.

It’s infuriating! 😬

This is literally fraud.

You’d be stealing from other working class people like you.

He just sounds like a lunatic to me. I’m not even scared, just angry at this neverending circus when we need to be saving the planet.

And he’s just one of many new powerful leaders.

We’re all just tired of this system, you can see it around more and more every day.

They’re saying we collectively as Americans tolerate a certain amount of fascism instead of fighting all of it.

Canadian allies, we need your help here.

Help us boycott and sabotage these capitalistic grifters.

Kindness and compassion towards life is how we heal the planet.

This does not mean we have to endlessly suffer their intolerance, or never punish the wicked and the greedy.

It means that when a tragedy befalls a problematic group of people, we empathize first and then after the immediate situation is adequately addressed, we demand accountability from everyone responsible.

I accepted a position at Amazon as a finance director for one of their many divisions, and it was hands down the most toxic work environment I have ever experienced-- and I’ve worked in public accounting for other a decade, so that’s saying something.

I resigned within a couple weeks and found myself a much better job elsewhere.
