We’ve been working pretty hard on this engagement and the team was definitely a bit burnt out. At 3 our manager calls us into a conference room with a bunch of beers. After cracking a few open he goes “spoon or fork?”.

This led to an hour long very heated debate. Really helped everyone unwind for a minute and I just thought it was funny and worth sharing.

Nice. All my manager does when I'm clearly burnt out is give me more work.

My VP keeps asking for next year’s roadmap but every week wants it formatted differently and it’s driving me crazy.

When I’ve asked what format and level of info the CTO prefers, my VP says they don’t know and I need to be okay with ambiguity. I’m losing any patience and good will I had.

Would you say summaries are as effective for self help books like "the subtle art of giving a fk" and other similar books? I feel the books themselves ramble on too much on a side story only to tell a point that could be summed up in a couple sentences.
Or am I just not getting good book recommendations for growth/development on mental well being and productivity
