- Facebook - Ethics What do y’all think about Facebook and leadership at helm? I feel like MZ should be more responsible for the things that have been amplified on his platform.

- My funny story at Microsoft :) It has been quite a while since I left Microsoft. I know some people may identify me but so be it. It should be an interesting read for Microsoft folks. I’ll try to keep it short. Morals of the story: 1. Your director controls your rating, compensation, promotion, not your manager. 2. Mspoll is not

- TPM interview @ Google experience, what are my chances? Did 5 rounds of virtual interview for TPM role in Google: 1st round (leadership): Used earphone which made me a bit uncomfortable but did ok with my stories. Some probing questions.

- How to find a therapist for FMLA at Amazon when you get a Pivot Entry. The process has been very confusing, so here's what I wish I knew upfront: 0.

It's said that "adjustment disorder w/ anxiety + depressed mood" may qualify. As w
