Burnout is definitely something every team should keep an eye on. Even if it’s not showing up loudly, it can build quietly in any industry. Creating space for realistic workloads and open check-ins usually makes a big difference.

Yes, I’m concerned about burnout in my department. It’s a common issue in product and tech due to high demands and fast pace. We use AI to dramatically improve efficiency and reduce burnout. For example, AI speeds up research so product managers can focus on investment decisions. It also drafts product requirements, allowing PMs to spend more time reviewing and refining user stories instead of starting from scratch.

Looking for input on how organizations are preparing for California’s new AB 692, which will restrict training repayment agreements, stay-or-pay provisions, and other clawback-style requirements starting January 1, 2026. This could affect sign-on bonuses, relocation packages, training reimbursements, and similar incentives.

I’m curious what others are considering.

Are you planning to remove clawback language from offer letters?

Restructuring or eliminating sign-on/relocation bonuses?

Changing payout timing (e.g., paying after one year)?

Moving to alternative incentives that don’t trigger repayment issues?
