Real talk midweek outside the printer corner and I’m in a contractor seat; after my badge usage got mentioned hit me harder than expected. Someone mentioned ticket A-2099 as a reference point, but I can’t tell what it actually means. I’ve been documenting wins in my notes app because I keep forgetting what I shipped. I want to be respectful and not spread rumors, but the uncertainty is messing with focus. Any practical steps besides doom-scrolling and refreshing the org chart? Appreciate any perspective, even if it’s 'this is normal'.
