I get it, times are rough and leadership feels like it’s changing direction every other week. That frustration is real.
But having been through this at other companies, here’s a different take:
- Stop staring at the stock price every day. It’s noise. Focus on what actually drives it long-term... and whether leadership is doing anything meaningful about that.
- If you’re grade 40+, speak up about what moves the needle. Honestly, even at grade 30: same applies. You might not be shipping a billion-dollar idea, but you can still improve things where you are.
- And seriously, stop doom-scrolling this site daily. It’s the same handful of bitter folks on repeat. That cycle doesn’t help; quite the contrary and it definitely won’t make you feel better.
Not saying things are great. Just do your part and maybe things will eventually get better
