KPI-MALO

It's not that you won't work overtime — it depends on the situation, mainly whether there's free dinner.

Normal hours, occasional crunch, not quite death-march territory.

OKRs fill three pages; every day is prep for the next promotion.

Good enough is good enough — we're not launching rockets here.

If it's fixable, fix it. If not, mark it Won't Fix.

You know you should pay it down, but it always gets pushed to the next sprint.

Whatever the boss says goes. Resistance is not in the vocabulary.

Collaborate when needed, solo when needed — introvert-extrovert switch on demand.

Wearing the mask most of the time, occasionally letting a genuine curse slip.

Occasional anxiety, but nothing a bubble tea can't fix.

You know your strengths and limits — no ego trips, no self-pity.

Content with the status quo — why switch jobs? It's all the same grind everywhere.

AI? Let's wait and see — let others be the guinea pigs first.

Forced to learn new tech because the boss said so — powering through reluctantly.

Five-year plan is more detailed than the product roadmap.
