• I Asked My Manager Why I Got Laid Off... | Principal Product Manager @Roblox, Derek Yang 01.06.2026 55Min.

  It's been about 2 years and 3 mo since I was infamously laid off from my dream product manager job at Discord. And today, I finally sit with my old manager to talk about life after layoffs. Derek Yang is now a Principal Product Manager at Roblox, and before that he was at YouTube, Twitch, Yik Yak, Facebook, and Discord where he was also my last ever corporate manager. In this ep, we talk about: → What it actually means to "make it" in tech (spoiler: he still doesn't think he has)→ the performance review that humbled him and forever changed → how he approaches his career→ why working hard is not enough and what actually gets you recognized→ what he gave up becoming a new dad→ and why sustainability is his whole era right nowThis episode is for anyone who has ever put their whole heart into their work and still felt like it wasn't enough. Derek is one of the most thoughtful people I know and I learned something new about him even after years of friendship.→ Find Derek on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dereklyangSubmit your Coworker Confessions 👇https://bit.ly/coworker-confessionsIf you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshihthreads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shihlinkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/

• Bonus Ep: Why Corporate Always Wins (And What To Do About It) 11.05.2026 46Min.

  hii jomies!this is our ill-fated "fail episode." last year eric and i spent literally five hours on a sunday trying to film an episode about work resentment and burnout and every single take just sucked. we tried THREE times and failed every single time.but we had some really good nuggets in there so we chopped it up and pulled out the best parts for you guys. it's kind of a hodgepodge of segments but honestly some of my fave convos came out of it! we talk about someone reaching out to me asking for advice on whistleblowing, dealing with power tripping managers, the weird guilt of going independent, and why we push ourselves so damn hard when we could actually just chill.this episode is proof that not every recording session is a banger and sometimes you just gotta take the L and move on. but also!! the conversations were still valuable and i didn't want them to just... rot. thank u for listening and for being part of this community, it means everything to uslove,chlo & eric

Both Eric and I have wildly different personalities navigating the same high-power ecosystems, from Cannes Lions to Vidcon, and we get into what it really feels like to move through rooms full of important people, big egos, and invisible social rules.We talk about:✨ how to exist in elite spaces without burning out✨ introvert exhaustion & social hangovers✨ imposter syndrome in rooms you “don’t belong” in✨ the cringe of self-promotion✨ and the tension between being really good at what you do… and being seen for itIf networking has ever made you feel awkward, small, or like you’re playing a game you never learned the rules to - you’re not alone.Sometimes we walk into rooms that weren’t built for us.But we still have to decide how we show up anyway. 💌𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙅𝙊𝙈𝙊 𝙃𝙊𝙎𝙏𝙎 🎙️𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗲𝗶 - IG: https://www.instagram.com/erictwayco-founder of Karat Financial, helping creators with finances𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗵 - IG: https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/tech pm turned creator making videos on career, personal growth, and life in your 20s/30s.
