@pat Appreciate the support, but I'm afraid I'm on the wrong continent for this position

@ilookloud From my manager who assigns the ranking.

@sabik Too easy to verify, I'm afraid. But I *have* been using it for low-value work, mostly anything to do with communicating with my manager :).

@sanityinc Truly appreciate the kind words!

@demoographics Thank you so much! I will apply ASAP!

@brainwise It is for the people signing the paychecks, unfortunately.

@darwinwoodka You and me both. But the people paying my salary beg to differ and, well, they're the ones paying my salary.

@mason Sure feels like it. I wonder if there's any company anywhere that's not drinking this cool-aid.

@Nead . It's not about excelling, it's about excelling at what's *important*.

@paul The thing is Silicon Valley folks, and those who try to emulate them, are nothing if not trend chasers, and... https://www.businessinsider.com/jensen-huang-500k-engineers-250k-ai-tokens-nvidia-compute-2026-3?op=1

(you and I know *why* he's saying this, our bosses sadly only try to cargo-cult his behavior).

In other words, to talk about cost marks one as an unbeliever. And you know what cults do to unbelievers.

@the_roamer Thank you for the kind words. And indeed, one should focus on the positives. But it's difficult to not get frustrated as the very definition of what it means to be a good leader changes from under me, and for the worst.

Got my performance review today.
Positive feedback: literally every member of my team says I'm the best manager they have ever had. I solved multiple long-standing problems the team has been dealing with for years. Team members feel safe to share their struggles, everyone feels empowered, everyone receives valuable feedback.
Negative feedback: I am not enthusiastic enough about AI.
Overall ranking: 3/5.

Anyone hiring for a fully remote team lead?
