Perhaps I’m complacent. Yes, actually, I am complacent. But I have zero interest in the dog-and-pony show required to climb the ladder despite the fact that I am observably working at a lower level than I should be at. I’m old and know a lot, but I was a people manager elsewhere and just want to do a job I like. RTO is largely no issue as I was hired around Dec. 2024 and it’s been the norm. Weathered/weathering a huge re-org and jumped teams when it became to me that my old team’s days are numbered due to leadership’s thirst for AI, automation and vendors. I’m coasting at the moment, stuck between my old job and new one, but I know I do not want to climb any higher anytime soon. Is that even possible at Amazon?

I run a bad-movie review podcast with a buddy where we conduct light cinematic torture by making each other bad movies. I pulled Hot Frosty this week to apparently celebrate the start of summer? Anyway, it’s bad, but I liked it anyhow because I’m a total sucker for rom-coms. But yeah, it really is rough.

Would love to know what others have thought about it in this sub!
