It’s so concerning all the stuff I read to stay up to date with the world, then once in a while I’ll see something not just in my industry but where you work that feels so totally disconnected from reality you can’t help but wonder how much of this well meaning, but just plain wrong stuff I’m reading is.
There was so much staff just for hiring in the growth times it was ridiculous. No kidding that wasn’t going to last.
These companies are always placing risky side bets to grow different business that of course are going to get looked at when things aren’t growing at 50%. Those people I feel legit sorry for, but it’s a small percentage overall, so you got to put it into perspective.
It takes years to get good at this stuff and learn these systems. What is not talked about is sometimes the people that get hit in these things are the one who let their skill set go, or try to hide in the system via transfers, or maybe just got burnt out as the pace is intense.
At no time do I feel brought to heel. We’re adults, hey the freewheeling time is over for awhile we need to buckle down. Anyone who has been in the Industry for awhile knows these cycles happen every five years or so. The good times will be back sooner or later and no need to be high drama. The world is not getting less technical.
