Work related - grievance

Yeah I see no issue at all with utilising AI as an effective support tool. You’ve done the work by getting down in bulk, now just get AI to help you create a short introduction that says what your grievance is, correct it as you go so that it says what you want it to say, and take it from there.

Do you have real life support? A partner?

Sorry if answered but how long have you been at current job?

Apologies

so far they have cancelled the appointment the night before and then emailed me with a new date and to refer to the teams link but no actual Teams link,

did you start a thread about this!

I think you might be better off with disability discrimination/failure to make reasonable adjustments.

I'm not legally qualified, so do check this, but as far as I understand constructive dismissal is hard to prove, and a claim can only be brought after you've left.

With reasonable adjustments (not sure about disability discrimination), the onus is more on the employer to demonstrate thay they made these adjustments/it was not reasonable for them to do so.

Yeah but that’s not what I did. I advised to use the information she has, but to add a bullet pointed lost at the front provided by ai.

anyone who is stupid enough to add an ai sheet to the beginning of their document without ensuring the summary is accurate and reflects what they want to say probably isn’t even capable enough of writing one of their own so no harm no foul.

I use ai constantly in my role in banking, it is a complementary tool, not a replacement for critical thinking. I feed it documents, and then ask it to answer questions, I then converse with it to achieve the right results by adding context to what it is saying, giving it additional data points and things to consider. Anyone just sending a first draft isn’t using it properly, I suspect that this is your experience with your colleagues, it is with a lot of mine too. What you cannot deny though is that when used properly AI can improve the quality of your work, and allow you to focus on improving and amending the output detail while it does the bulkier block writing that forms the base.

My grievance was upheld. It called one of the "top" governors to account and he resigned as soon as I submitted it.

Similar to @Holidaymodeon it was a big fish/small pond scenario. I was too terrified to shop locally for months (nervous for a few years actually, until recently when I stopped ducking behing displays and looked at him full in the face with a steady gaze 😐✊🏻).

Fortunately, the idiot had recorded himself bullying me.

I got a modest settlement which covered the savings I'd had to use during the process.

There is the disability law service, though not sure if they would do this

If not, you may find somewhere local to you who will here https://advicelocal.uk/disability-social-care

And general advice in case helpful here

I have given AI tools multiple opportunities and not once has it delivered. There are documented impacts on critical skills humans need to have even from the lightest use. It amazes me that humans are so prepared to outsource their thinking to a hyped up text prediction tool. It hallucinates, cannot understand nuance and generally does a shit job whilst eroding actual human intelligence. I am willing to be open minded but when colleagues start sending me AI polished versions of stuff I have written and it contains none of the important stuff but adds things that were never there, I’ll continue preferring actual intelligences over climate destroying AI slop machines.

And yes, a promptitute is someone that pushes AI constantly. It’s even worse when you do it to advise in areas you have no knowledge of yourself.

This is an ongoing issue - no union will help with a pre-existing problem.

What is a promptitute and why does it feel like an insult.

I am presuming it is in reference to saying use chat GPT but given the person needed advice and I am not able to give it, the one quick solution is to put in all of the grievance into a document and submit this, but utilise AI to give a short summary because it is useful.

im going to guess you don’t work for a large company with a really good AI model, if you did you would realise that you can utilise it to do a lot of the leg work for you, and edit context and tweak responses and tone to ensure the output is what is needed. Did you hate Google 20 years ago too?

You've said a couple of times that they are continuously breaking the law. Is there a whistleblowers route you could take?

OP I’ve been a disability outreach worker for twenty years and have experience with disability based complaints against employers, including the drafting and contextualising of issues. I can understand that you don’t want to go into detail on a public forum, so if you want to PM me with a brief outline of the problem I may be able to help you to prioritise the issues, put them into context and keep things as brief and to the point as possible.

ETA - if you have the resources, putting your grievances in front of a solicitor specialised in employment law would help.

You need a union. I was a member of USDAW and they were great while i was battling work, find one specific to your line of work. They can advise you on legalities, discrimination, guide you through the whole process and most importantly they will accompany you to any grievance meetings. Having someone in my corner who knew all the details was a huge help to me.
