Meta reviews

Where can I start...the list is mega long. Should I start with the horrible recruitmentli/team placement mistake that caused major setback after setback. Yes, they put me on the type of team that they swore they never would. The really bad manager accountability, who prefers to be more of a boss vs. a leader. Or could I address some of the most ruthless and two-faced narcisstic coworkers with the most severe case of unconscious bias and fat egos you will ever encounter? Or is it really their fault or the company culture that made them that way? Its kind of like Squid games, but then you remember that the people you work with don't actually come from the most desperate lives who need to be fighting for their lives, just people with severe personality disorders/power trip and ego issues. I've talked to several designers on my team who were not happy, severely stressed, and felt super disparaged.

Although it can differ team-to-team, UX Researchers are typically lower on the ladder in terms of product team hierarchy and expectations to make sure research creates impact is often on the shoulders of the researchers rather than being promoted by product team leaders.
