My team just spent a ton of time interviewing for a software engineering position and right before we put an offer out the headcount got axed. Super frustrating and feels like a complete waste of time that we all dedicated to the process. Anyone else deal with something like this? Honestly I'm pretty annoyed and wish they just never opened the position up from the start

Morning! I have found myself in a situation where micromanagement of my role is becoming very stressful. What are your tips for managing up in this scenario? I'm unsure how to frame this feedback.

I’m getting frustrated because of this job hunting. Is there anyone feeling like this?

We just got our yearly bonus and our stock prices are at the highest they’ve ever been. We just got off an all hands call talking about how it’s been our best year yet! Then bonuses were slashed to pay for AI innovation. I’m so mad. Pay the people who make this happen - not copilot licenses.

I’m currently navigating my first major workplace mistake, and my brain is telling me to pack my bags and disappear. I accidentally sent an internal draft to a client group, and even though it was resolved in an hour, I feel like I’ve permanently ruined my reputation here. Everyone keeps telling me it happens to everyone, but the anxiety of waiting for the fallout is making it impossible to sleep. How do you bounce back?
