What was “the moment” in your role you knew it/you were officially done? Whether the result ended up being resignation, firing, etc. Was there a specific instance you can point to?

When we were so burnt out we asked for help on a project that was as urgent as the other three things we were working on. The upcoming weekend we were supposed to have an all agency holiday on the Friday for world mental health day. We were told there was no resources to help and the meeting would not be moved. Which meant ironically we were expected to work on that day. Decided we were done at that exact moment.

Had a meeting with my ECD to discuss my partner situation, how I’ve been pretty much carrying all the workload and how unhappy I am. They had no idea (which is already a bit of a gut punch, that they were oblivious), and nothing has happened…not even a discussion of potential solves. Completely ignored.

Or maybe it was a short while before that when I complained about an abusive CD, was told the ECD “heard me” and then the bad CD was promoted. No follow up from ECD. Yeah.

The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
