I think the worst feeling ever is having a great product, or great enough product, that's very well positioned on social media feeds, but it turns out to be a complete failure, and a waste of time and energy. It sometimes feels inevitable, but I'm also sure that there are ways to avoid this. Have you come across this feeling, and how did you salvage it?

Sometimes things fail. Try to be understanding about what might have gone wrong and how it can be avoided in the future. Wanting to be and do better is the best you can do.

This happens more than we like to admit. The key is learning fast. Dig into feedback, measure what didn’t connect, and adapt quickly. Treat it like a pivot opportunity rather than a failure; sometimes the biggest lessons come from those tough moments.

We had a team touchbase where we as a group were asked our concerns regarding year end. I raised my concerns about staffing/expectations (the team is 75% new) since last year was demanding with us being up to 1 AM the day before deadline.

My director was on the call but not my VP. My VP reached out today and said he doesn’t appreciate hearing such comments on the grapevine but I was confused b/c all i did was answer the question I was asked.
