I’m officially doing the job of three people and I’ve never been more invisible

The office feels like a game of musical chairs where the music stopped, and they just set the chairs on fire. Since the last round of "optimizations," my Slack has become a graveyard of ping-ponging tickets from departments that don’t exist anymore. I spent four hours this morning untangling a cross-functional mess that used to be handled by a whole squad in Foster City. Now? It’s just me, a lukewarm coffee, and a dashboard that’s permanently glowing red. Leadership keeps talking about "velocity" and "operational efficiency" as if we’re suddenly going to out-innovate the legacy systems we’re barely keeping on life support. I’m not even angry anymore; I’m just waiting for the next calendar invite to tell me I’m responsible for a new vertical I haven’t been trained for. The paycheck clears, but the soul is definitely filing for unemployment. If you need me, I’ll be buried under a mountain of GRC compliance docs until the next "restructuring" finally lets me off the hook.
