Why are employees sending unedited AI-generated complaints?
Employees are using AI to draft grievances without proofreading them, leaving placeholder text like 'Dear [Manager’s Name]' and introducing inaccurate legal advice. This lack of verification forces human resources to waste time arguing over bad counsel and leaves them unable to trust whether the complaint's details are even true.
