@an+1jgxdg8yx "Not without my severance" true. But don't be passive in you're "quiet quitting". Time to build on your skills, learn how to apply AI (can start with your career and/or job search), learn how to make AI models use AI in generating code and/or test (if a techie), learn about the future of AI (agentic AI) .

If you are in tech (coder or tester) Learn AI to generate code. go to Udemy they are having a sale. Enter "use ai to generate code". If you are quietly quitting or have been laid off do this. The rules are changing.
