Is IDEO a sweatshop with long hours? Someone on here said it was but looking to confirm/ deny. (Yes I know about the open letter about racism.)

I know one person who works out of the LA office so take this w/ a grain of salt but they have largely good things to say. As a leader in their space, they can be somewhat demanding and you could do better if you were looking for a bastion of work life balance. But overall I’ve heard the culture is strong and they aren’t really exploitative. But the pressure to make great work is there.

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job.

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

Started keto 5 days ago. Lost about 7 pounds. All was going well until today when I exceeded net carb quota. Is there hope?

I have been in management for the past 8 years and part of large corporations. I just recently joined a small organization that I have wanted to be a part of for the past 2 years, accepted the role of general manager. This organization knew that I don’t have general manager experience, no payroll experience, no experience setting prices, no purchasing experience and today, 6 days after starting, I have been asked to step down due to not being confident that I will be ready in 3 weeks…

Perspective requested.
10 mths ago i was talking to an acquaintance (lives in IN, same age late 20s) and they were having a baby. I expressed my congratulations and during the convo said something like, ‘…here i can’t bring myself to adopt a pup and you’re prepared for such a big responsibility’. Everything’s cool.
Present: (randomly) they remind me of this and say they understood my intent but want to teach me that I was culturally inappropriate.
