I just learnt I didn't get the promo to Staff Engineer I was trying for.
This was my estimation for the most likely outcome. Still, I'm a bit disappointed. I feel I could have gotten promoted already had I been more strategic about saying no to projects that "needed me to drive them".
Fuck it I say, I'll do whatever's right and I want to.
I took tomorrow and Friday off using time I accumulated oncall for Meet and Workspace and I plan to work on and in the [[Agora]] all this long weekend.
Then on Monday I'll go back to work on my (public) terms.
