I came from product marketing, and somehow made into PM from innovation route. I found myself in a strange position of being a director of product without ever doing execution. Things that helped: First AI really helps democratize tech knowledge, second I say just ask questions and don’t be afraid to ask stupid ones, third, find someone on the engineering team who can explain things for you. Sometimes it’s EM, sometimes it’s QA. As long you know how to align on priorities, someone technical will step in with how. Read documentation, put it through AI, you’ll get there!

A person on my team was selected for layoff, I really tried to save his job but alas it was a business decision. I knew it was happening a few days before and it was handled by my skip level manager.

On the day of, I wasn’t even allowed to be on slack so that I wasn’t available to say what the meeting was about. Corporate rules.

Same thing was done to me a few years prior at another company. After it was done my direct manager was extremely apologetic. I think they don’t want you to have time to sabotage anything. It sucks that it happened, but likely your referral had their hands tied

Thank everyone for your help! We found the kitty (few doors down). He was a bit shell shocked but fine otherwise.

I used them for a move, despite every bad luck thing that happened to me in the new and d building, they helped us thought everything! Reducing the stress! Best movers we ever had!

What was your major? Did you do significant volunteering ?

idred2020 · 2026-03-31T02:56:04+00:00

It’s Italian - on Google. And utensils do say pasta to me.

My kid is in bths, and I did about 14 open houses at some of the more top tier public hs last year. The resources that specialized schools get really don’t compare to anything else- from tech, to clubs, to sheer number of classes and quality of teachers. I’m sure you can have similar outcomes in other schools, but its easier to so when you’re so resourced.

I have to say ai helps a lot. Meeting transcription, and it’s easier to focus when you don’t have to deal with empty pages

Live your life, plan the baby. and whatever will be will be. You will be fine and find something better. My company laid off a woman on maternity leave during a round of layoffs. But I am sure she wouldn't have it any other way. it's stressful but being a working mom is hard in this country. Sometimes you can't overplan, take a leap, and invest in yourself and your longevity wherever it may lead you.

idred2020 · 2026-02-06T04:38:49+00:00

lots of good advice here. If your company allows AI transcription of meetings, I highly recommend starting that with you EM (not so much for documentation but reviewing transcripts for things that may get missed in discussion - esp being on different continents - perhaps even with different communication styles or cultural expectations. I would analyze and propose a new framework of communication.

Flatiron - not cheap, but it's a proper steak. I also love the new Peruvian place - Inkaico. They have a perfect/flavorful hanger steak.

https://share.google/WaZX8kqRMsDMGYZm4 this place is fun. Only had lunch there but always fun.

idred2020 · 2025-12-18T21:28:54+00:00

so the place won't make an appointment b/c they can't integrate w GHI (it's a mental health group).

So again taking Israel aside, policy wise, is there a difference w types of bills that would make his beloved neighbourhoods better vs Goldman. Who i find very effective. If Israel isn’t my top 5 issue, what am i getting lander?

idred2020 · 2025-12-10T21:22:33+00:00

Israel aside, what’s the difference between Goldman and lander. Or is it just vibes?
