    No manager competent enough to write that well is going to put anything like that down in writing. Totally fake.

      It’s an AI written justification.

      Could still be fake, but there are absolutely people that are this stupid and use chatgpt.

        It doesn’t read like it’s generated, but I’m not really that savvy on these things

      I worked for an IT manager who fired me after I pointed out that he was scammed for buying a 6 pack 1TB flash drives from Amazon for $40.

      He wrote an email saying I was a jerk for delegitimizing his authority which I took to HR and was fired the next day “for not being a good culture fit” and was paid to be under a nondisclosure for half a year.

      I am like Mulder, I believe the morons are out there.

      Yep. This would never ever be an email. It’ll be a in-person meeting.

      Why? It leaves a paper trial, and it’s written too “smart”.

      I have broken some HR policies before - real stupid ones (like using the bathroom too much or something ridiculous) and had “the meeting”.

      But when I ask them to give me a written version of the issues after the meeting, it’s always vague and points to line items in the handbook.

      That was one of my first thoughts too, but I’m not sure that’s a sign of it being fake.

      The whole thing is curious but I’d need more detail to make a confident statement.
