GOOD HABITS, BAD HABITS, AND LESSONS LEARNED

Too many companies assumed that late 2020 through early 2022 would be the new normal
The cloud providers all grew very fast, but none of them launched industry-changing new services, and have since laid off people
SaaS services did not figure out how to be more profitable, and have laid off people
Remove work hasn’t become more efficient, and it’s not creating new management / teamwork / collaboration challenges
We’ve created very unusual and awkward human interactions, and tried to normalize them
A new round of layoffs and economic uncertainty will end up creating another new set of behaviors - still TBD.
