>tfw you're stuck in the weeds, your eye isn't on the puck, you can't get the 30,000 foot view of things and you're also 15 minutes past your hard stop for another call

Sounds like some myth about some ancient demigod. Feats of Hercules or some shit. Boiled the ocean and circled the globe in his quest to seek the favor of the goddess of the northern star, but was cursed for his hubris by Poseiden and reduced to subsisting on wild berries

And the worst part? Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

NorthStar is only good if you heavily modify it. Takes lots of work to make reliable but its advantage is it fits neatly in tiny packages.

Going forward you should touch base with your core team anon. Take ownership of the development pipeline and reevaluate your sustainable targets.

>Temba, his bandwidth wide

I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence is foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no one size fits all or silver bullet. Remote is only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, allows us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.

I think if you all start spending more time in the office again, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize! I think given that we've been remote for so long it's easy to forget the benefits of working in the office.

What's the root cause of the hatred of corporate office spaces? Putting my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.

I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.

So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed. We're still championing our core values remotely and we will only do it better in person.

If you need me, I will be online again in a bit.

I openly mock people like this now. Maybe it's feeling immune from firing because my skills are so in demand, or maybe it's just being a 30 year old blackpilled boomer, but I'd tell this guy during a group call that nobody wants to go back and he'll have to give me 30% more money just to get me in a single day of the week.

Can you send me the slide deck on this?
