Gaslighting at Digital Surgery can be hard to name.
It can look like mixed messages in a private slack channel, blame in public, and someone taking credit for work you did. Over time, you may start doubting your memory, your skills, and your right to speak up.
This is not “being too sensitive.” The emotional impact is real.
Let’s talk about it. Have you seen this happen at work—or found a healthy way to respond?
@w5 I misread your post, but the point remains the same. Whether to lateral in depends on what you want to do. The OG DS people are committed and smart but operating in a tough situation balancing the demands of working in the bigger org and managing the same S everyone else is.
Before you lateral, talk to the people, get to know them, what it’s like working for that group and what competing priorities they have between Surgical, corporate and their own day job.
@w5 where you want to look depends on where you fit within DS but there is no shortage of companies out there ingesting information and trying to provide intelligence/insights leveraging AI in its various forms. vive le Royal Star
@d7 where did you apply ? Do you have any recommendations?
I was thinking of doing a lateral move to digital surgery. But the feedback from people has me concerned.
I found my way on the outside and it’s all for the better. DS is doing some cool stuff, but there are other companies doing cool stuff too, that won’t keep you in a perpetual state of anxiety. Medtronic has a lot of cache. Find somewhere that appreciates that and allows you to really bring your whole self to work.
