  • I hold a weekly project review/coordination meeting via Teams where we discuss all our project statuses, due dates, etc with the relevant team members, make new assignments, etc. And while our new offices are being built I’m exiled to the conference room instead of my desk so that my talking doesn’t annoy people who aren’t in the meeting.

    Everything is being tracked on a spreadsheet, and I’m sharing my screen while updating everything and I’m having to live-type in front of 20 people and my shitty laptop keyboard.

    It’s the worst.












  • Don’t forget getting the interview.

    I’ve got the right column on lock. I’ve never had an interview that wasn’t followed by an offer. But I was still stuck in a dead-end job for years trying to get an interview.

    Once I finally got an interview adjacent to my field, I was promoted within 6 months, then poached by another organization a year after that and had quadrupled my income in under 2 years.

    But it took forever to get that process started.
