I avoid the word "sanction" whenever I can because it's an auto-antonym and just too confusing.

Surely, this was an oversight without oversight.

I see “literally” in the same light.

Smelled it from “What's one positive action you can commit to this week?”

And from the bullet points and the lack of a personal perspective.
I'm glad the poster at least admitted the AI contribution, though.
I use AI a lot myself for brainstorming and perspective and even advice. But I include in my prompt details about my particular situation and needs. The responses are worth much more to me than generic listicle slop.

Thinking back to a failed role, many years ago - the articles first 'sanctions' list reads like a checklist of achievements for the situation that I blindly dug myself into while under the high stress of the time.
It took until quite a few years later to have a clearer perspective on it. Accordingly, with hindsight I wish I'd had the articles wisdom a couple of decades ago, as a preventative - though I partly wonder if I'd have had the brain structure to really take it in, back then.

Im skeptical that positive interaction between teams can exist, other than as positive interaction between their leads. It seems to me that risk/reward for an individual to blame things on a different team it too appealing to pass on.
Or maybe this is how my company has trained me to think. Everything always seems to be a different team's fault

Beautiful! People's zero points can be at very different places on these scales, and it takes a lot of effort to shift them.
