Sla-ghters in Tech Sales EMEA. Nordics and France, I was said. Who is alive ? Who fell in the line of duty ? There used to have some antique soldiers.

"manage to the desired results" is a favorite directive of engineering ELT/VPs/directors. What this means is do what it takes to get the result that they want to benefit them, not necessarily to the company's benefit, or what's right, moral, or... — read more

Layoffs again. Expect pushing the narrative of cash flow and profits as an attempt to offset slowing growth in cloud. Predictable and uninspiring playbook.

There is a lot of incredible talent VP/below ironically from more successful, larger IT companies that is overlooked each day. I've seen ideas completely disregarded from people who came from actually successful growth-oriented companies. And this... — read more

I was laid off last fall. The week before I was let go, my director told me they were glad to have me on the team and they had built the team they wanted—and I was on it. They were telling me this all the while knowing I was about to get let go. The... — read more
