Every agile organization simultaneously preaches both a blameless environment and accountability for developers. What tactics have you seen managers use that generate accountability without creating fear?

There's only a conflict there if you define "accountability" as blame. For example, being accountable as in accepting fault and "never doing it again", even though that basically assumes that it is possible to eliminate mistakes. The blameless idea is that trying to focus on fault and pointing a finger at someone or some team to "be accountable" doesn't help, but rather that determining the root causes, coming up with action items to fix flaws uncovered by the issue, and overall learning how to prevent similar issues in the future *is* being accountable.

Simple in my opinion. The financial and career incentives need to revolve around the collective team and not specific people. For example, if my team is not able to increase registration by 10%, I don’t care why. The entire team failed. Basically the team is always blamed, and the team needs to find a solution.

One approach I've read about is a three strike rule follow by a week or two timeout from code check-ins. A sort of mini PIP directed at actual improvement (unlike the HR ritual). Not sure of the phrasing nuances for making this feel safe, but seems reasonable.

It sounds like the real thing here is individual vs group responsibility. I think serious and reliable 1:1s really help get that individual responsibility across, even if it's just as PART of the group.

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

I got an offer for a 3-mo contingent role at Meta as a CSM that pays more than double what I make now.

The pay rate makes it hard (if not impossible) to say no - but I'm apprehensive about accepting a contract offer, especially one that's only 3-months  ending on Jan 2.

Obviously, I'm already thinking about what I'd do next. I'd love to stay in tech. Just curious if anyone has experience with a short-term contract & what the job-search process looks like during/after the contract expires.

I have received two offers from great companies. One is a senior analyst role in the advertising industry and another is a Product manager role in the risk industry. I have 1-2 years of exp as an analyst.
The salary, benefits for both are same. I’m looking for a role that has tech and strategy designing as well and both the roles offer this.
My long term goal is to be a product manager but I want to be on the tech side as well. How do evaluate the offers?
