Good Job is Slate's advice column on work. Have a workplace problem big or small? One of my dearest friends was recently squeezed into an unwanted early retirement by DOGE.

I want to support her through this.

Good Job is Slate's advice column on work. Have a workplace problem big or small? I am a hard-line hater of generative AI (ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.).
