I'm gonna randomly hijack this comment to talk about this growing depression I fear will hit a lot of people.

It's been very frustrating at work, approaching end of quarter with all the usual internal quarterly milestones, and no one in leadership acknowledges this intense mental stress that everyone is under. Everyone is still expecting that good ol' 20% improvement we promised three months ago, despite the entire engineering team counting down their remaining rolls of toilet paper, and watching the dumpster fire every day from the White House briefings, and the stock market imploding. Meanwhile we know that at the tail end of this, many of the local business we rely on and have supported over the years, may be out of business.

But at work, the same meetings are on calendar. The same constant drumbeat, where we pretend the only thing that's changed is our status is "WFH". Large meetings clearly don't work over videoconference and without a whiteboard. At my place we even have a two-day "offsite" where the whole team will literally spend the day sitting in one position at their desk, facing the camera.

I fear many workers in tech will crack from trying to carry on as if nothing was wrong.

That said, I do acknowledge the privileged position of this first-world problem.
