...and the vibes are definitely off
It feels different in tech right now. We’re coming off a long era where optimism carried the industry. Something has curdled. AI hype, return-to-office mandates, and continued layoffs have shifted the mood. Managers are quicker to fire, existential dread has replaced the confidence
I can’t stand this style of cojonesless leadership. It’s because of soft middle management like this who never questions their bosses that we end up in the situation we are currently facing.
