Episode notes
In this solo Q&A episode, I answer listener submitted questions to share my thoughts on a variety of topics ranging from whether submitting a cover letter is just a pointless echo of your resume, how oblivious leaders consistently mistake toxic team environments for motivation problems, and some options on what to do when a massive scheduling miscalculation bleeds into someone else's timeline. I am also answering your submissions about PM terminology cheat sheets, the harsh reality of taking a pay cut to transition into the PMO, and the industry's desperate need to start adding a little bit of gatekeeping to our own professional title. Finally, we expose the most dangerous hidden risks lurking in your baseline assumptions and settle the debate on whether AI is coming for your job—spoiler alert, it absolutely will if you operate as nothing more than a glorified administrative note-taker.
