MY BOSS ASKED THE COMPANY AI TO DECIDE IF I DESERVED A RAISE

i requested a raise after taking on additional responsibilities and documenting strong results. my manager said he'd consult our ai assistant to evaluate whether the request was reasonable

the assistant asked for market comparisons, responsibilities, performance evidence, and the company's salary framework. my boss supplied only a short message saying budgets were tight

the assistant replied that it couldn't make a defensible assessment without the missing information. my manager looked annoyed that his impartial arbiter expected actual evidence

we scheduled a proper compensation discussion with the relevant numbers. i still want a raise, but the chatbot did me one favor: it refused to manufacture certainty
