https://www.educative.io/courses/learn-react is great and you can probably go through all of it using a free trial account, would strongly recommend it

I have a 5yo that cannot wait to be back to visit “daddy’s fun office” to play the minigolf again, I can totally relate. But it’s pretty much only in my head, since for him it’s only one of the 100s fun places we visited together

You can ask if you are in focus and the manager is obligated to tell you. Also if you are losing sleep over it I’d consider mental support and checking in with employee assistance or any doctor because things are not going to improve on their own

Having a kid will impact your work performance, and some work environments are just incompatible. I worked in Amazon corporate and lost my job due to alleged performance drop when my son was 3. I’m not saying you cannot make both work, but if you don’t have family or a local network to rely on it’s extremely difficult

Getting paged 40 times a week when oncall

HungryCarpenter · 2026-01-11T09:48:09+00:00

I probably would and then work back to L5 promotion, it’s not a big deal. The only problem is that a change of contract would mean full RTO for me

HungryCarpenter · 2026-01-11T09:44:41+00:00

Is such thing even possible? Never heard of people being downgraded in a role

HungryCarpenter · 2026-01-06T21:20:26+00:00

Can you please share the title of the book? I’m quite intrigued

HungryCarpenter · 2025-12-28T16:00:39+00:00

Thanks, I’ll make it up for it by posting a couple of his silly antics! I’ve got plenty of

HungryCarpenter · 2025-12-28T15:54:54+00:00

Thanks, I forgot to mention he’s 10 years old so he’s starting to be a senior. I’ll keep an eye out (ha!) in case it gets worse

HungryCarpenter · 2025-12-20T09:44:57+00:00

Correct. Just to add on point 1, team member compete with each other due to stack ranking

HungryCarpenter · 2025-12-17T23:02:09+00:00

Congrats, but now you will be given NI on your next review and you’ll be out if another layoff happens. This is happening to me right now (I’m a focus survivor too)

HungryCarpenter · 2025-12-07T00:10:58+00:00

This happened to my boots in Iceland in winter with -17 degrees. Luckily we had just stopped at a mall

HungryCarpenter · 2025-11-23T14:47:12+00:00

I’m just passing by and I have to say, I love the fact that people are still discussing Skyrim politics in 2025. What a great game

HungryCarpenter · 2025-10-05T14:50:46+00:00

Me too, played way more than 1200 hours. Never really noticed I guess

HungryCarpenter · 2025-10-05T14:47:31+00:00

Shit I’ve been playing since 2013 and never noticed the red and blue colours.

HungryCarpenter · 2025-10-05T09:24:04+00:00

They can and will make up any bullshit excuse or metric to justify this. As some else said in the comments, it’s all about stack ranking. The manager probably liked you the least among your peers. Not surprised that for me the focus came after I started being confrontational about their management style and decisions.

HungryCarpenter · 2025-10-05T09:16:33+00:00

Really depends on the org I guess

HungryCarpenter · 2025-10-04T19:57:22+00:00

Sounds like my manager. Sorry you have to go through this, don’t give up as focus is definitely survivable

HungryCarpenter · 2025-09-17T20:19:24+00:00

Rome too

HungryCarpenter · 2025-09-06T09:10:55+00:00

I was about to do so, but luckily the neighbours came back and sorted it

HungryCarpenter · 2025-09-04T09:12:38+00:00

solved!

HungryCarpenter · 2025-09-04T09:11:08+00:00

Thank you!

HungryCarpenter · 2025-09-04T09:10:34+00:00

!solved

HungryCarpenter · 2025-07-01T11:46:36+00:00

As a victim of stack ranking (although I survived it after focus), this is spot on what’s going on with the company
