With profound sorrow, I read the news of all layoffs across the tech industry. Thousands are losing their job in what seems to be a very long and grim period where tech companies are on a streak to cut costs and make themselves "leaner."

As one grows up in their career, it becomes crucial to manage expectations correctly. As I put more consideration into things that factor into my work success and happiness, I was surprised to realize that there are many layers of expectations we need to deal with daily.
