Engineer describes CEO's Slack AI bot micromanaging every push — and a midnight PII incident

An engineer describes an AI running on the CEO's Slack profile that opens threads with PRs, tags engineers at 5am, and reviews every push with 'slop' reviews nobody can ignore. One ignored message triggered a midnight incident to ship a PII-touching change normally budgeted two weeks. Result: constant pressure, hoarded pushes, high turnover, and the author asking if AI-driven micromanagement is the new normal.
