You may find more happiness in appreciating what you have rather than wanting for what you think others may have.

Yeah - I'm fine with it. I've seen how hard US teams work, their education levels just to get in and equivalent levels to us, the job specificity etc. Not to mention the travel. Domestic travel in the US is literally the worst travel experience in the world and would be enough to drive me over the edge.

I’ll take a pay cut if I can stay here. Currently visiting with my family on extended leave. Dreading going back to Chicago in 2 weeks 😞

"People just want it to work" is a thing clients have said about the product the company I work for makes. It's true. And it's all over. I usually think it's because Agile's method is what everyone thinks works but so much stuff across all tech areas seems to be released broken and then never fixed or fixed way too slowly. Anyone else feel this way? Has Agile worked for you and your clients?

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.
