   Exploitative. This is a free app I've used on iOS that implements the same CBT-i techniques: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cbt-i-coach/id655918660 Not pretty but works perfectly!

   Some similarity there with the story of Mara tempting the Buddha. Taken symbolically it makes sense. Through that lens I probably experienced "demons". There will always be zealots that take things overly literally.

   I’m so sorry to hear that and I hope you’re doing better now.

   I’m glad you found a combo that works for you. I don’t know many Christians that demonize meditation, but I’m sure they’re out there.

   Thanks for reading. You have an interesting perspective - and one filled with more diverse experience than mine, I'd be very interested in reading about it.

    Wow - thanks for posting. Had seem some brief research about it before but not this much. This really should be a larger part of the cultural conversation around meditation.

    It actually isn't a sensible reason to downlevel. Let's think about it this way. I apply to Xibalba Corp. for a Senior Dev position. You're a recruiter at Xibalba Corp. and you use YoE to rank candidates (as a shortcut for cr

    Thanks for putting this in perspective - a lot of very dramatic takes in the comments. I am imperfect and finding my way, just like we all are. Glad you found it useful!

    I'm confused - did you read the article? If so I think you misunderstood my reason for leaving. Yes I was unhappy with the FE/BE split of work but ultimately I left because I don't think I want to work in eCommerce anymore. A

    Good for you. A lot of commenters getting hung up on the mechanics of the process. There’s a lot of cultural norms about what to do in this situation but at the end of the day you’re the one the one that has to live with your decisions.

    Accurately put! Not trying to portray Shopify in a negative light at all. I just learned something about myself through the experience and thought it might be helpful for other devs.

    This is good to hear! I’ve worked positions before where this definitely wasn’t the case (had to use limited PTO for doctor’s appts). Maybe this is something that’s changed significantly since COVID

    I don’t know that it was the main issue - but yes I think this is common with Shopify hires. I’ve seen a number of similar complaints on Blind’s Shopify board.

    Yes - would like to see some stats on attrition among down leveled hires. I suspect you’re right.
