Day 1 just feels like Groundhog Day for leadership decisions lately.

Honestly, it feels like we're in an endless loop. Another quarter, another set of "bold" directives from L8+ that feel detached from reality, only to see them quietly deprioritized or completely rewritten a few months later. My team, and so many others, just keep churning on these shifting goalposts. It's tough to reconcile the 'Ownership' LP when the top seems insulated from the consequences of these massive pivots. Don't get me wrong, the talent at every level below L7 is astounding, and I still believe in the core mission. But how long can we operate with this kind of top-down decision whiplash before the best builders just... leave? Hoping for a course correction, or at least some visible accountability for the big bets that don't pay off. It would do wonders for morale.
