Honestly this is the funniest part, but also the realest.

Geez I hope not. Live in the town it’s from. :)

This is so fucking evil. Hard to think the SCOTUS would be any better but I hope it goes there. Doesn’t help those poor people now. Sickening.

ty! There must be tens of us! 😄

This “walking pneumonia” really sucks.

So fucking hard to eat healthy. Chicken breasts are like 5 bucks a piece down in SW Ontario. Comically hard for normal people.

When I became a manager I had to get used to vendors seeking me out on LinkedIn, which I find baffling. I do not have nor have I ever had buying power for a company I work for. Despite that it seems to have ramped way up in the last year. Maybe there are managers that do?

Ruiner instead. 😄

Interesting journey. I don't know where it's going and I don't know if I'm going to find an environment like this again. I need to take advantage of that. Let's see how it goes. 6/6

So now I'm in a place where I have to get past my own discomfort and self-imposed anxiety and learn what I need to learn to make the change I want to happen.

Scary as fuck! I don't know enough to know what I should do, so I have to find my own learnings paths to make it happen. 5/x

When I ask what I should be doing I'm asked what I _think_ I should be doing. I thought this would be easy but I'm spending a lot of time deprogramming myself. It took me way to long to realize, I have to push in rather than wait for things to come to me. 4/x

But in order to think about the strategy I had to address all the immediate things that stacked up. Not fun.

New $job though, is a very different kettle of fish. I still feel like I'm learning to be a manager all over again. 3/x

It really wasn't. My time was exhausted by things I had little control over, and the time I had was spent trying to make space for my devs and not leave them overcommitted. I was told to be strategic when all I had time was for the tactical. 2/x

I guess I'll start using this like I used to. Let's talk about autonomy in the workplace because it's been front of mind since I started $job.

I came from a pretty low autonomy job that sold it self as high autonomy. 1/x

Kind of amazing. More people had long since migrated that I thought had vanished. Like a time capsule.

It has been many moons and I don’t think either of us is in TO anymore but I was glad to find you here!

Hello mate!

Short intro: Software Engineering manager at $job. Left the big city for small town and embracing work from home. Annoying leftie. Sci-Fi/Fantasy enjoyer.

Alright. Let's try this migration for real now. Twitter is a dumpster fire and maybe I'll start actually posting again rather than lurking for years.

I guess I need to figure out if I still want to do this social media thing. I kinda just stopped using Twitter because awful and all the people I followed kinda spread out. So maybe I see who’s on here and try again.
