Does leadership actually have a roadmap or just a vibe?

Is it just me, or does it feel like the strategy changes every single quarter based on whatever is trending on Twitter? We keep pivoting—first it was the 'everything app,' then it was regulatory compliance focus, now we are trimming 700 people for 'efficiency.' It’s exhausting trying to align your work to a roadmap that gets deleted every time Brian posts a manifesto on X. I’m sitting here wondering if the company is actually building toward a sustainable future or if we’re just inflating the narrative to keep the stock price from cratering during these crypto winters. I love the mission, but I’m tired of the whiplash. Every time I get a new manager, the priorities shift 180 degrees. At this point, I don’t think anyone knows what the long-term play is beyond 'survival mode.' Anyone else feel like we're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while waiting for the next bull run to save us?

It’s been this way since the start. The constant whiplash isn't a bug; it's a feature of how they operate. Everyone talks about the mission, but the reality is that the goalposts move the second the narrative shifts on social media. You’re not crazy for feeling exhausted. When your North Star is dictated by the latest engagement-farming tweet rather than long-term engineering or product fundamentals, you eventually stop believing in the roadmap altogether. Just keep your head down, do your work, and don't get too emotionally invested in the quarterly pivot.

Honestly, the 'vibe-based' strategy is exactly what you get when a leadership team is perpetually reactive. It’s like they’re terrified of missing out on the next big trend, so they scramble to reallocate resources every three months instead of actually shipping something consistent. It’s a classic case of chasing shiny objects while the core infrastructure is left to gather dust. Don’t expect it to change anytime soon; they seem perfectly comfortable trading operational stability for a few days of positive press on X.
