Have you ever sent an email or slack message in a heated moment and then cooled off and regretted it? I just had one of those moments this week. Did you acknowledge it or just move on?

Move on. Talk to key people individually in the vein of “I came in too hot my bad sorry”

I always bring it up. I don't want my frustration in the moment to impact any of my working relationships moving forward. Plus, I like to work things out quickly instead of letting them linger in awkwardness.

Agreed! Thanks for the support.

I've always followed the advice that it's good to write that email and get it out of your system, but have the good sense not to send it. Sometimes it's good, perhaps even healthy, to release the vituperation building inside you. But it's always better to just admire your flaming prose, laugh to yourself over it, and hit delete.

Thanks. I’ve been keeping a separate journal for the ‘Office Space’ like moments at work for when I publish my memoir ‘Surviving Corporate’. I feel like I need to add these types of notes to the journal. Maybe I’ll title that the ‘burn blog’ for ‘burn after writing’

I just move on. Odds are, they understand that we are just people and we all have those tough moments. If somebody is acting differently towards me because I might have been a little bit too curt in my communication, I will let them bring it up and assert themselves. But if they don't care enough to bring it up, neither do I.

A few times. How I deal with it depends on who the person was that I sent the message to. If we already don't get along for the most part, then I probably won't say anything. If it is any of my coworkers that I respect, I always call it out and apologize.

I think I’m going to use this an opportunity to set up a skip level 1:1 with my VP. I don’t want to come across as a complaining but propose a solution to an ongoing problem. The. I can also read his reaction live.

Is my manager forcing me out?

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?
