Have you ever been praised for being adaptable when what you really needed was stability?
I started to wonder if flexibility was just filling gaps that shouldn’t have existed. Did adaptability help you, or hurt you?

Learning how to be adaptable is one of the best skills. You also have to recognize when it’s not sustainable, and you can’t keep a footing anywhere. Gaps will come up. It’s just the frequency that signals an issue.

I really like how you framed that, especially the idea of frequency being the signal. Adaptability can be a strength, but when you’re constantly filling gaps, it stops being situational and starts being structural. That’s the line I was trying to understand better.

Exactly. It’s one of those things you don’t fully recognize until you’ve lived it. Thanks for validating that

Adaptability has hurt me in the past. The flexibility I was offering shouldn’t have been necessary—they should have hired more people instead of leaving us short-staffed. But in the moment, you do what you have to do to keep your head above water.

This resonates a lot. Stepping up in the moment often feels necessary just to keep things afloat, even when it shouldn’t be on your shoulders in the first place. It’s hard to see that clearly while you’re still in survival mode.

suggestions for a job search tool/website that will alert me of openings in a specific geo area relevant to my skills? Indeed sends too many irrelevant ones - maybe my search words are too broad?

I’ve started getting mad pit sweat and my heart beats fast when I speak up on a call.
It started several months ago and I’ve never had an issue before so I thought it would just go away, but I’m still struggling with it.
I’m not even anxious/nervous or stressed, so I have no idea what’s going on. Anyone else have this issue and found a fix?

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. Im on the hunt for a new job and am fairly new to this lovely city. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

My wife texts me that my 15 month old constantly says "da-da" and walks to my office to see if him home and then looks sad when I'm not there. I don't think I can take this emotional torture. 😢

Sometimes people ask why I love being an engineer. I always say that technological innovation is amazing! If we can use technology to make our lives easier, then why not?
