Superhuman CEO on promotion criteria flipping mid-career as employers quietly reward AI usage
cen6wkf · reddit · 2026-09-20
Superhuman CEO Shishir Mehrotra argues promotion ladders flip criteria mid-career: once scope is equal, committees grade "how you do the job." The post links this to AI-era workplace shifts: Amazon shut down its KiroRank internal AI-usage leaderboard after employees gamed it with agents, and the BBC reports employers increasingly tie bonuses to AI use while keeping standards deliberately vague — echoing Mosseri's point that engineering is shifting from writing code to reviewing it.
