7AM: wake up and take a call with Europe. They are panicking because their sub just reorged and headcount slashed. Make no progress on roadmap 7:30: Look at Blind to see if today is another wave of “business update” layoff emails. Inconclusive 8AM: go into office because in person facetime is required even though we sell teams?? 9AM: get reamed by skip because gm may RIF our team. It’s showtime 9:30AM: check LinkedIn. More opentowork posts. Work work work 1pm: Lunch. It’s $12 for a salad or anything remotely healthy. Thank you Satya for the subsidy 🙏🙏. 3pm: go get coconut water. Do more with less - coconut water is out of stock 5:30pm: call with asia. My old area manager got RIF’d so I need to catch the replacement up to speed. 5:50pm: See my coworker get stabbed 12 times by another coworker (might be a neo nazi but that’s okay). 6pm: get a 4 hour long culture convo block on March 9th 6:30pm: check blind. Oh look, Rain has a new update with more layoff dates on March 8th and 22nd. Coincidence? 7pm: our all-hands is rescheduled to after March 23rd by our EVP. I’m sure it’s fine 8pm: head home. Lobby looks a little bloody 10pm: SWAT team shows up to arrest the victim. Stand-off ensues 10:30pm: get the all-clear from leadership that it’s safe to RTO. Meanwhile the swat team is still waiting on a warrant Just another day in the life in tech! Follow me on tiktok for more updates.

looks like you have horrible WLB and for all that time, you still add little value to the business you must be a non-technical pm / product owner don't complain when you get laid off
I think you may have missed the point of the post 🔪🔪
I read the stabbing part, but I grew up in the US. We're like an advanced dystopian society of savages I'm also half asian, so If i witnessed something like that, my parents would be like, "why you know focus on work"
Someone was murdered in your lobby? Where do you live?
Microsoft lobby
Bravo, OP. These are the kind of shitposts I come to Blind to read
OP - ROFL! Thanks for posting this. Seems like a lot of people somehow miss the sarcasm.
How the hell are you managing a product feature if you can't figure out how to manage your own schedule?
I’m too busy looking at the street cleaners mopping up the blood - and doing more with less team members
Holy fuck! The perpetrator was a coworker? I've heard Microsoft is full of white neo-nazis, didn't know it would come to this. What's the race of the victim?
Please walk us through the train of thought that made you jump from a random stabbing straight to deciding that the attacker was white, a nazi, and a Microsoft employee. You can assume the victim was any race you wish it to be if it makes it easier.
