One workaround that I have to maximize my steps is to have walking meetings whenever face 2 face camera is not mandatory or when discussing ideas. All hands - walk. Meet with peer - circle the office parking lot. The goal is to maximize steps starting from the first wake minute. That side I still have fatty liver. My doctor said it’s most likely due to genetics.

When a few weeks of feasibility planning can prevent years of unfruitful effort

All else aside, Microsoft 365 as an office suite screams for disruption. If you don't believe me try actually using their copilot and observe the poor integrations with core products such as Excel/Word/Powerpoint. Sorry for the offtopic but it really hurts for those of us who are forced by their CIO to use this thing.

Unfortunately I think you are wrong. Their most important asset is the leadership role of the company, the brand name and the muscle memory. Other employers may come and go - on a system level this doesn’t look important as longer as they can replace talanted folks with other talanted ones. This seems to be the case for nowhere

Deglobalization in geopolitics should be followed by deglobalization in cloud providers as well. Viva la local vendors.

Climate change is tailwind for e-bikes. What we need is better infrastructure accross and muscle memory to use them. If only politicians would invest more in infrastructure... (speaking from Southern EU perspective)

Based on what you said I think that you should change jobs. Too much toxicity and obvious incompatibility with the company preferred approach to working.

Some folks on this forum seem to get irritated by the prospect of a successful AI company HQed in the EU. Why the hate?

I am living the reality described by the article. The PM role has too much power and too little accountability if things go south. The usual scrape goats are sales, then engineering and support.

As a hiring manager that has been in similar situation with employees - do what is best for yourself, but be aware that your current manager won't feel good about this situation and will try to move on as fast as possible as well. If you go to FB try not to leave in the next 2 years, because hiring managers don't like job hoppers these days. Ideally, don't even include your 6 months tenure in your resume.
