My toxic trait is that when I give a lot of effort on something then feel all my ideas get shot down I check out and just agree with what everyone else says.

Stop doing that, then. Calmly and collaboratively explain your rationale, intentions, and point of view. People can’t read your mind. It’s your project, presentation, idea, whatever. You have to take ownership of communicating it and go in expecting that many people will need you to elaborate. If you’re a director, you’re not paid to agree with the status quo; you’re paid for your ideas and leadership.

Early in my career, I learned the hard way (and quickly) that we wear many hats in our jobs and you have to understand what hat you are wearing when. Team hat, IC hat, Org hat and each hat comes with thier own unique wins and losses. Hopefully that made sense! 😉

Please don’t have a defeatist attitude. I am sure your input and ideas are valuable. Ask to confer with your manager regarding your concerns about not being taken seriously professionally and how it affects your work productivity. This is a discussion worth having. The best of success to you!

Went to a club yesterday and we paid $20 pp for cover just to find out that it was empty and there wasn't really a clubbing vibe. Bought a round of beers and we were so bored that we decided to leave in a few minutes... I feel robbed but at the same time I guess there's not much I can do, or is it? Im not sure if a CC charge back even applies in this case. Anyone had the same experience?

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
