Struggling at work with AI mandates. There is heavy top down push to use AI, this is at one of the large Tech companies in the US. This has me quite depressed. Everyone sends slop for reviews and there is an expectation of 2-3x efficiency even after losing a lot of people. This has caused a lot of bugs and issues. I'm sure a lot of places have the same issue and we have accepted this as a new normal.

But are there places US or ROW that are more sane and let you or the team decide what tool to use? How do I find them? Does going lower in the stack help?
