This is not targeted at any one person, just running commentary that people’s posts are less frequent, more angry, more off-topic… it’s not an excuse to be a jerk but keep in mind that maybe around a rough quarter of US private sector cybersecurity people are dealing with impactful budget cuts, have been laid off, or had colleagues laid off and had to take over all their work, or had to actually lay off employees (or worse), and it’s definitely impacting mental health, burnout, and morale. Just my two cents. And we are privileged - it’s way worse in other IT niches and professions. Look out for one another. Be kind.
