Just unnecessary headache - this one guy, who is a product owner wants to be the face of every meetings, add unnecessary suggestions, derails discussions, questions each and every simple straight logical process or a step. How do you all deal this kind of situation. ( I mentioned age because this same guy once asked me if I was single and when I said I am married for 7 years was big time surprised)

It’s funny - I’ve been rejected so many times in my short career. But when it happens, I still feel a small sting. Just got dinged from an interesting role - how do you deal with the aftermath?

Currently at an agency I don’t like, but the work is fun (although uninspiring). Have an offer at a much better agency, but the work would be with a traditionally un-fun client. Do I make the jump?

Is it normal for a start-up to be super vague and keep setting up meetings to get to know you but gives you bare minimum details about them?

I had a start-up reach out to me and after a few meetings I have barely been able to get any information about them. I don't know name, size, or anything but a vague description about what they offer (don't even know what role they would want me in). Is this normal or am I right to be annoyed?

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies.

Is he right?
