@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:51 AM

sigh yeah, it’s been hard out there for folks

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:51 AM

yea makes sense! I feel like lots of comms ppl tend to pivot to production

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:50 AM

Oof 😭

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:50 AM

True! They’re so closely linked together now it’s hard, and lots of jobs being added on top of it

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:48 AM

makes sense!!

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:48 AM

Ugh. Sorry you have to deal with this. :(

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 11:08 PM

yea, i find a lot of part-time contracts too and i think that tends to be quite difficult for CMs

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 11:08 PM

oooooo yes ownership is so good!! im glad!!

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 11:07 PM

yea i think the career map is a big thing -- i feel like there's not a lot of thought for it because people do tend to just.. pivot out?

question for *senior* community managers... if you stayed in community: - what makes you stay? can be fun things but thinking concrete stuff like opportunities, new challenges, $, etc if you left community/pivoted: - why? lack of upwards mobility? lack of agency? lack of studio support? layoffs?

REAL

@victoriatran.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 9:24 PM

Screenshot of meme "Waits Faster", with text excerpt from the newsletter that reads:

While we still want to avoid delaying, sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we have to write up some communications for it! Here's how I would tackle something like this:

Own it: Don't try to hide the news under lots of fluffy wording, just get to the point. Say it succinctly, near the beginning of the post.
