Since every one of their peers is generally unaccountable and/or unreliable, the stream of reassurance texts and calls during the day is insane.

Bro, we don't need a call every 45 minutes.

The older millennials are thinking about retirement. You are probably dealing with Y or Z

What's funny is you're probably a millennial posting this nonsense.

Respectfully, let’s agree to disagree.

I’m fully aligned with the 45-minute reassurance sprint model. Constant feedback loops are the cornerstone of my personal OKRs, and frankly, my emotional ROI tanks without them. If we’re not syncing every hour, are we even a high-performing unit? Let’s double-down on this overcommunication strategy and scale our vibes responsibly.

In today's corporate America? Yes, yes you do a lot of the time. I'm a senior manager, and I work for a good company, but my experience in private industry is 20% of the people do 80% of the work, and goals/tasks tend to be extremely broad in nature. I am a problem solver, I'm good at it, but when that's figured out it's all I do almost every day. I can't say no, because then I'm not a team player, but at this point I can't keep saying yes because I am so damn burnt out that the depression is coming back with a vengeance.

My other point to make is 90%+ of middle management has no idea how to actually manage, and fluffs every employee out there. I give my employees good and not so great feedback, and I want them to do the same for me. I'm not perfect, I have large benefits and large drawbacks for what I bring to the table. Goddamn it, tell me when I frick up, don't just give me generic feedback of "well it could have gone better".

My son is a very early Z. When he asked me for advice when he entered the work world, I said something like, " dress decent and show up on time, and you've got 90% of em beat"
