Someone does that to me and they go on the spreadsheet and I work around them every time in future. It's not worth interacting with those people.

That's probably the goal

You get nothing being the go-to person vs. the person that just does the job

Option B would involve being incredibly verbose and burying prompt injections in your question.

The sabot of the AI era. Love it.

When your spreadsheet gets full, will you change jobs or change tactic?

I get that this is supposed to be unproductive snark, but the real answer is probably to then sort the spreadsheet and assign a tier system of how annoying and useless each person in it is.

We need to go deeper: ELO and matchmaking to keep the most annoying coworkers contained playing with each other

It was not snark (an uncharitable read I must say). The point was everyone is being forced to use AI. So keeping a shitlist is going to be a very, very short term solution.

> everyone is being forced to use AI

Some small subset of companies are doing this, not all companies.

I'll have a peaceful life until it gets to my yearly management review of my teams.

Switch to a DB

That seems like a lot of bother. If I hit the 1,048,576 row limit I'd start a new column.

I think they own the company at that point.

You might get fired for still using spreadsheets. ;)
