My notes and reflection, so far, from an all-day meeting...

We need to work smarter, not necessarily harder until we find the sweet spot and then own it. And, of course we need to be team players and work hard and play hard. We need to put our time in without expecting constant praise, promotions, and raises. We are a family and we need to start acting like it. By the way, we will be reducing the work force by 10% and asking everyone to justify their jobs by detailing achievements in a monthly progress report. We will start needing everyone to come into the office every day so we can each do our part as part of a larger team. Even individual contributors are part of a team. If you have finished your own assigned work, you should reach out to your co-workers to see if your skills can help them finish theirs. Remember we are a family. And families help each other out. Afterall, for those not affected by the force reductions, work loads will be increasing and, oh, by the way, bonuses will be delayed this year. There's nothing to read into on that. More details will be shared at a later date. Thanks for everyone coming to our all-hands meeting. Now, let's get back to work... because we are a family. 😵‍💫

A family doesn't reduce its membership by ten percent and expect everyone else to justify their existence.

@Lukeman Exactly! It’s insane. Thanks for your support.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays You know, everyone has access to ChatGPT to use as easily as you.
@MarkPaul But they don't. And that makes me exceptional. Ever hear of the story of Columbus and the egg? Christopher Columbus, when challenged by critics who downplayed the significance of discovering the Americas, proposed that the attendees try to make an egg stand on its end. When no one could, Columbus demonstrated how it was possible by gently tapping the egg on the table, slightly flattening its tip, and then setting it upright. This story became a figure of speech for any simple, yet once-hidden, solution to a difficult problem.
