Yeah, we get the same crap constantly. “You have to be faster” “Ok, are you going to remove the mountains of red tape, reviews, and documentation that make a 2 week project take 16 weeks?” “Well, we can’t do that. Here’s a motivational story about boats”

the C-level equivalent of poking the business with a stick and mumbling, "c'mon, do something..." when youve clearly run off all the talented, sidelined all the most dedicated, and turned your once thriving tech company into an ambling rudderless dumpster fire that occasionally immolates its best products for no reason and runs down pointless features because you spend more time reading Gartner than reading O'Reilly.

> ...They all read the same HBR articles, they all take advice from the same management consulting companies, they all study the same business school curriculum, etc... Yep, sadly, the evidence is clear that they're all lemmings and staying that way! Also, your 100% correct on your other points as well...And said truth is quite frankly sad; sad for both Google, but also for all other corporate-type companies, at leas…

Look at how aligned they all are on Returning To Office work. Nearly every major company is saying the exact same things, to the point where you can probably find exact wording matches between internal memos. They're obviously getting all their ideas from the same place.
