2022 was a year of big professional achievements and some aspects of my personal wellness took a back seat. My primary goal in 2023 is re-focusing on fitness, wellness and reclaiming some personal time that was ceded to work. I’m also looki

I'd like to be a lifer, or as close as possible to a lifer in today's economy. Like the OP I'm embarking on my 40s. I'm into my sixth year at a FAANG. Staying at the same company probably made me miss out on some of the

Point taken. I agree Tim has history of doing the principled thing. I’ve just seen so many of these “leaving Twitter” posts lately and it’s interesting that Twitter seems to be a really sticky product for people.

I just don't understand the need to announce your decision to stop using a particular social media platform. It's a free web service. You can use it or not. I guess I should have made an announcement when I switched away from Gmai

I’ve thought about this question quite a bit lately as I’ve seen some colleagues and LinkedIn connections announce they are being laid off. These macro-economic questions are interesting to me. On the one hand, tech companies have hired man

They are accepting transfers. The number of available roles to transfer to has been drastically reduced.

I think this was orchestrated to not give Amazon employees any internal (or very few) options for transfer. First they freeze corp hiring and thousands of positions dry up, then a long drawn out layoff is initiated that gets leaked in the p

We’ve had the tiny houses, shipping container homes, then the van life or schoolie (school bus as a home) trend, al of which were clever interpretations on what a home actually is. I’m sure some enterprising YouTuber/lifestyle blogger

I can relate. Just yesterday I’m halfway through a treadmill workout, heart rate is up, and I’m sweating good. I feel a tap on my wrist and the watch is asking me if I’m done with my workout. Other times it’ll ask if I’m working out at the

I agree with your general point. It seems that every site I visit from my phone now demands I decline an offer for 10%-20% off where I am asked to share my email before proceeding. Unfortunately half the time it’s impossible to X out of it

Same here. For whatever reason I prefer an Impossible patty over a beef burger in my regular eating. My brain knows it’s not beef but is equally satisfied with it. I don’t expect everyone to love it like I do. But I started doing it for hea

Sometimes it’s cause your TC takes a nose-dive after year 4 and the company has no interest in compensating for that drop. You might not want to leave but in order to keep pace with the market you’d boomerang to come back to be on par or ab

I’m in my 5th year at a FAANG. For the first 2.5 years I was stuck in a role that felt similar to what you are describing. I had a “good” manager and decent work-life balance but my ideas didn’t get much traction and the org was so big, I f

I’m almost to my 5th anniversary at a FAANG so my base has grown a bit this year but my stock award refreshers are pretty anemic. With the stock downturn it’s barely worth much. The CEO was asked if the company planned to make up for the do

I have a lot of optimism for The Ford EV business. First they are making some great EVs and they aren’t to proud or set in their ways to realize the friction points for prospective EV buyers and owners. If they keep making the right moves,

This is the only way they can compete with Tesla and other direct-to-consumer EV manufacturers. Glad to see Ford doing this. As a Tesla owner, I’d be open to buying a Ford EV but have no interest in dealer markup or the dealer buying scenar

What a great idea. I feel like this would let you make the choice on an annual basis based on your goals for the year, lifestyle needs, etc.

I think you are on target. IMO it is an attempt at employee retention as well as attracting new talent. Purely anecdotal on my part, but I've seen post after post on LinkedIn of senior/tenured Amazonians moving on to other roles a

Commuting to a crowded downtown core every day never made sense to me. I much prefer WFH. In my admittedly well appointed home office, I am much more focused, productive and it's easier to connect with my distributed team via video cha

IMO there aren’t any perfectly ethical companies. Even the six years I spent working in tech for non-profit orgs lent itself to some ethical dilemmas for me. It’s a personal decision on who you work for and what work you do. There are some

The minimal Tesla M3/Y interior is one of the highlights to me. But the only way it works is the integration of software and tech with regular OTA updates. Other car interiors from Kia or Toyota seem far too busy. I know it is a matter
