So, I’m sitting in the quiet cubicle zone, and the VP of Finance suddenly gasps. She turns her monitor around to her analyst and whispers, "He didn't just hardcode the totals... he used a calculator and typed them in manually." The look of pure, unadulterated horror on her face will haunt me forever.

I’m confused. She wanted AI to do it rather than the human being?

She wanted formulas, not hardcoding

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
