Anyone else feeling super uneasy lately?

I've been at Roku for almost 5 years now, in the ad sales department. Usually, things are pretty chill, but the last couple of weeks have been weird. Lots of closed-door meetings, VPs walking around looking stressed, and a general feeling of… impending doom. I know the market's been volatile, but Roku's been doing relatively okay, right? Anyone else sensing something in the air, or am I just being paranoid? My gut is telling me to update my resume. Seriously considering reaching out to some old contacts. What's everyone else doing?

I've been hearing similar rumblings from my contacts in engineering. It's always tough to know what's real and what's just water cooler gossip, but when the VPs start looking like they've aged ten years overnight, that's usually a bad sign. I wouldn't panic yet, but updating your resume isn't a bad idea regardless. Always good to be prepared. Keep your ear to the ground and see if any patterns emerge.

Honestly, feeling uneasy at a company is pretty common, especially with the market the way it is. My friend works at a competitor and says they're having similar vibes. Could be nothing more than regular end-of-quarter stress or project deadlines looming. Don't jump to conclusions based on 'vibes' alone. Unless you hear concrete news, try to stay focused and avoid contributing to the paranoia.
