How to control heavy emotional conversations

Lately that amount of Layoffs that have happened and I have seen it happen in my previous company, where I was part of the laying off panel. I have seen leaders shying away from having tough conversations (giving feedback) or having them let go of certain people. These are leaders who have either risen in ranks or Founders / Co- founders who just don’t want to face that. What’s your take on it?

Recently i am facing some personal issue and it is difficult for me to focus on the work in the office. How do you guys handle this? Do you have any tips

How do you guys deal with toxic people in tech, especially when they are your seniors or you work with them everyday? We are a small team and the senior I have is an extremely shit person. We decide something while design discussions, and product discussion but he changes his mind and asks to completely revamp the solution after it's implemented. Extremely close-minded to new or different ideas or different ways of doing things. Also frequently insults people on the call. I know one solution is to leave the company but that can't always be the case and when the team is small, sometimes these people become unavoidable. So looking for ideas on how other people deal with toxic peers/seniors in their workplace.

Just moved from a WFH startup to a Full WFO legacy corporate company. These corpo people talk so much, too much restrictions to get access or to create a MVP, a lot of unnecessary paperwork/ email loops. I feel sleepy all day and these people find and make you speak hell lot making me confused and feeling that I have done no work and what will I say about deliverables 🥲. Side note: renovation going on so not getting any corner + the setting are like this getting it is difficult 😭 Any suggestions or I am over reacting 😄

I have good grip on grammar but when I try to speak I lose control and I am always lack of words while speaking but this is not the case while writing. How to improve this thing? One thing worths mentioning here that I become nervous pretty quickly. It may be the potential cause behind this issue.

I currently work in a project that is driven by CEO and he is very intimidating. I work my ass off to make sure he gets what expects but today he was especially aggressive during the call. After the call I asked him to wait up for two mins and started telling him that I am getting intimidated by him. Although he was nice to me when I confronted him, now I am feeling embarrassed because I broke down a little when I spoke. Tears started flowing and I am feeling like a weak person. Just fyi I am an adult male.

Hey Folks, I’m in a phase where I have decided to move out from my present company. My present company is very dear to me as it gave me the taste of what success looks like. Honestly, I would have never made it had I not received the support and backing that I got here. I don’t know if I am making the correct decision. Emotions are literally overflowing. One side of mine tells me that I am making the wrong decision whereas the other side is excited to see what future holds for me. Literally anxious of all the thoughts that are crossing my mind. What if , I am not able to perform at my next company ? What if , they decide to hire me and then not honour their offer letter ? What if, the company has a mass layoff and I am impacted ? All these thoughts are literally eating me from inside. Any suggestions on how can I handle the same ?

Currently working for Foreign Startup, under a Indian Engineering Manager. Manager is incompetent, doesn't like disagreemets. If you disagree with him, then he goes to length to make your life diffult. Already seen few examples in the team. There are red flag all over the place. I'm not sure how upper management is not able to catch him. He does the politics, favoritism, etc... List goes on and on. Any help would be appreciated. P.S Don't want to leave the company in this market.

Just wanted to see how others deal with the pressures they have at work. Everyone has their own way of dealing with situations. So how do you manage?

So I work in a new york based startup and they hired me as project manager. I am from tech bg with 1 year of experience and no mgmt experience. Completing 2 years in this company and have created processes from scratch to increase team size and team dynamics. There was one conversation which HR heard out of context and started politics with CEO. Now in my review their "trust" overshadowed my "performance". They even out of nowhere telling my leaves were not judiciary! Now i don't trust this company anymore. Already my managers were too underperforming and disappointing. There were many scenarios where I took in charge of anyone's absence and even in my absence took care of things. They giving NO raise !!! Not even something to match inflation! I am feeling very exhausted with company's policy and CEO being nosy in each and everything. And too disappointed in company's "trust" definitions. Talked to my manager and cleared out my performance. Talking to CEO in next days to reclarify their issues. Any help or word of advise???
