How is your day going?

* Last night I spent some time thinking about next steps for project I'm working on. * Today, my morning started out great! Made coffee, spent time with my child, and felt excited for the day. * Started working from home at 9 and put in about an hour of work before the daily standup. * During standup, shared my status and thinking and subsequently was "corrected" by the team lead. * ... * I've since spent the rest of the day feeling frustrated and hurt. * I did reach out to my team lead about how I felt.

I left a position at a FAANG for a smaller software company and it has been challenging readjusting to life outside of FAANG. I used to report to someone who trusted me and always listened to what I had to say, it felt liked I worked with them and not for them.

Now I work with someone who likes to tell everyone on the team what they should do and what they think is the right thing to do. I find it frustrating, counter-productive, and generally a bad approach to team leadership.

Sigh... interesting times that we are living in.
