I'm not working right now... kinda waiting to see if the AI hype dies off before re-entering the industry. Because the last 2 teams of execs I've worked under both went "all in" on AI, asking everyone to use it as much as possible. Both led us down paths that made no sense from a product perspective. Both failed. It is the only time in my career that I've seen an entire exec team get fired all at once, and it happened twice. I know this is one anecdote, and a rare one, but it left me uninspired to just go do it again, not until I find leadership who has a reasonable perspective on AI. To me, that means treating it is just one tool among many, to be used when it is the best tool for a job, and only then.

So to answer the original question of how my morale is? It is non-existent. I am quite open to fixing that, but haven't seen much that indicates now is the right time to search for something new.
