Good Wlb, Bad Leadership
Good Wlb, Bad Leadership
WLB has been good most of my 4 years here, and most people agree, I think.

Good benefits.
Product leadership is pretty bad. AI slop culture is pretty big. Relentless reorgs have been happening since August 2023.
Get a grip on success metrics, lose the AI hype for business needs, stop reorgs.
