Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

Some context - 
 Disney and apple are known to be pro left wing. These include ideologies around equality, feminism, LGBTQ rights etc which you can see in some of their shows/movies. 
  
 Elon Musk has centre - right ideologies. 
  
 Disney recently removed ads from X (Twitter) because Elons ideologies do not match theirs (an anti semantic tweet by Elon is the reason they gave for removing their ads) 
  
 Elon called them out in an interview that these companies try to "look good" in public but are actually "evil". These can be seen in some of their movies or cast where they say they promote feminism but are borderline Misandry. 
  
 Elons of the opinion that these companies use their Money and influence to force their ideologies onto people. 
  
 He said that the people can see what's happening will decide which side they are on. 
 Some of these people have cancelled their Disney plus subscription because they agree with Elon

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Someone told me that it is an issue that can be solved by having high agency but it is exactly the thing that is penalized first. You can only affect the locus of your influence but when you need to get work done collaboratively it is mind numbing work.

You need to sell, sell and sell. Not the right ideas always win but the loudest guy who is really chummy with the founders. Most founders can't do any better because it serves their ego. Doing things right means accepting that your throughput of ideas based in gut call is bad for the company. Having a system where meritocratic ideas win while "smart" show-sha people who are all talk and no show are fired straight up.

I have myself witnessed the death of culture when the inner circle does as what they want to, and soon the it turns very toxic for everyone involved. I can tell you that right now I am pretty much sure that 4 people will leave within 1 year, even if they were offered a 100% hike.

High agency means that you can only do the best with the cards that have been dealt to you. But even with high agency you cannot expect to solve big problems that extend beyond your scope of responsibilities.

PM RANT: Launching anything in a big company is an "impossible task"...

Hi , this post is intended to be a disclaimer to anyone who is planning to join Yubi. A lot of things are happening here that show some signs of an impending layoff

1) Several senior folks in tech and product have quit. Also there is no replacement hiring planned for them. Several projects are also getting shelved as a result.

2) there were several open roles a few weeks back and almost all of them are on hold as of now across all depts( tech , business , ops)

3) rampant cost cutting. The lunch options have been reduced to just 1 dal , 1 veg , rice and chapati.  Snacks have been removed too.


Because of several folks quitting in less than 6 months and no replacement hiring , load has increased tremendously on existing members who are themselves trying to leave. 

People have serious doubts on whether any hike or bonus will be given or not this year.

Rampant negativity at Yubi

Hey guys, I’m working at Disney Star and it’s been a struggle due to the toxic work culture. Which industry can I switch to? I am so scarred that I want something slow, I work in marketing.

Kids pushing deadline few hours before delivery crediting it to mental health reasons is the strangest thing I’m dealing with as a manager right now. I wanna be inclusive and empathetic but what happened to pushing ourselves?
