Love this!! I’ve been getting into cross stitch and embroidery lately. I had one project not too dissimilar from this that said “I Can’t Adult Today” 😂

I hear you. For me, it’s been finding things that keep my mind occupied but not fatigued (and without a screen). I’ve gotten really into cross stitch and embroidery. I’m also enjoying tending to my yard with a podcast on. Rock climbing has also been simultaneously physical and meditative for me ❤️

I’ve never heard of this before and it sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing this! ❤️

It makes sense that’s what you’re seeing online. I know my current company is slowing down hiring and I hear others are as well.

And agreed, I know companies are tightening up while also raising the bar for entry. I feel like not every opportunity ends up on a job board anymore so I feel like the gems are harder to find (my gut feeling, could be wrong)

I would love to get closer to the robotics space! I think tech is still figuring out how to operate with AI disruption but robotics seems solid.

I liked the way a friend of mine put it - “Time is money, and every day I pay myself first” ❤️
I’ve always wanted to do this but I also want as much as sleep as possible before work begins so it’s a struggle 😂

It can feel bittersweet leaving something behind for something new. Excited for you! I love hearing about folks finding new things these days. I’ve been too scared to look at the market but maybe it’s turning around

Thanks for the validation here!
I didn’t put much thought into a manager asking the team to list out what they were working on, but I’ve seen it happen many times. This was during times where clear goals were hard to come by, so this makes sense.

Omg I’m an idiot. I thought this was a tech thing, not a Musk thing. Getting my feeds mixed up 😅 I scrolled more and saw all the news about it, my apologies!!

I’m asking this genuinely - is this considered bad because there should be other processes in place? Standups? Weekly checkpoints? I’ve had a manager imply they didn’t know where my time was going or what I did that week and it really caught me off guard (which felt like the point in retrospect).
