Annoyed topic on the Teams call, last night and I'm working on Orbit Pine; after a lateral move pitch started a whole new worry about promotion. I want to be respectful and not spread rumors, but the uncertainty is messing with focus. I’m planning to ask my manager for clarity, but I don’t want it to sound like panic. My calendar is full of 'alignment' blocks and somehow none of them answer basic questions. I'm not asking for confidential details, just patterns and what to watch for. Would love to hear how others are approaching this
