Word on the street is new additions to the board are being vetted and one that guy from Lakewood Baptist church. I find this news shocking and disturbing and hope you do as well.

HR. Where are you? Vacation? Quiet period before mass resignations? Or did the troll just get bored and move on?

With Delta roaming and evidence pointing to far less effectiveness of existing vaccines agsins it, do hou still think we will be in office in the US in September? More deadly variats are emerging and makes me think we might WFH for much longer.

I heard from one of the so-called "Technical" platform managers that due to the blowback of how poorly IT has managed the transformation, the term Digital Platform is now viewed in a negative light by non IT folks in the company. The CDO is... — read more

PSG 19 or 20, but a workhorse.
