annoyed thing on the warehouse aisle early Monday, our web order chat went sideways after comparing notes with a peer, and now I'm stuck on market rate. Part of me wants to ignore it and just ship work, and part of me wants to prepare. I’m torn between pushing for more scope or keeping my head down until things stabilize. I’m trying to stay calm, but my brain keeps doing the math on worst-case outcomes. I'm not asking for confidential details, just patterns and what to watch for. Would love to hear how others are approaching this.
