I think we'll also see increased burnout as employees are expected to produce more with less.
yes, it's when you tell boss, "I can't do that in 3 hours, it'll take two weeks", and probably still have some unknown aspects of quality, that we might not want to sign off on. Maybe we can rush it in 1 week, if you're ok with want want maybe' 20% unverified.
Boss fucks off to coprolite - gets it "done" in 3 hours. Gives it to someone else to QR. They comes back to me for advice on turd polishing (apparently that's my SME). So I then waste time helping that person tactfully create a quality report that says it's seriously defective and will take weeks to rectify to get it up to an acceptable standard - because it tells us nothing about how it got to it's erroneous output.
Now, we've wasted about a day between us, on dog-shite - and we've not learned anything useful.
I don't know what a "gen Z" is though, but whoever they are they should stand up to shite bosses.
