Surban mom.

  • I have so many thoughts stirred up by this survey. Here's just 1: some companies don't benefit from consultants because they are the unwilling or unable to implement their recommendations - not because the recommendatios are wrong. Honestly, most big companies hire consultants to blame their poor results on - and for that, consultants are totally worth the cost. Happy to share more if you would like - just message me.

  • Thanks! On my to be watched list. 👍

  • This was years and years in the making. Many of which Democrats held more power. Basically they governed so poorly for so long, some Americans felt like voting for this kind of change was their best option.

    You may want some examples of stuff that people may think needs to change:

    • We have an immigration approach so terrible, it has left millions of people without a path to be here legally
    • The perception of ineffency across Federal agencies (which is fair if you've ever had to weight for VA services, sit in a social security office or try to get global entry)
    • The overall sense that the rich are getting richer while most Americans fall behind
  • This is a plot twist I should have seen coming.

  • Betcha he'll get a solid "gratuity" for it, too.

  • You are exceptional at this game! Poo fighters 😂

  • The incompetence is astounding.

  • I know, right? We are experiencing the fall of our democracy and they concluded they should talk about healthcare.

  • All of them.

  • Meanwhile, Democrats struggle to mount effective opposition but are beginning to focus on key issues, especially healthcare.

    Democtats once again bring a soup ladle to a gun fight.

  • Usually not at all. More recently, the polical influence on our economy is that impacting everything from hiring (we were gonna hire, but now we aren't) to investing in the business (we think we need to store cash because a downturn is looming). Apparently it is difficult to improve an economy, but one can be wrecked in 45 days.

  • I wonder if there are enough all women boards to see a pattern in their performance. Would be interesting to compare...

  • Removing the large swaths of the workforce in an agency does not automatically mean the remaining people will become more efficient and pick up the extra work. They need processes, tools, and training to support the increased workload - and even then it is possible that the RIF was too much. I'm not even sure a "scalpel" would be effective without a way to redirect the blood. Are these guys trying to be a case study in the HBR on what not to do?

  • Dumb question: who is behind the 14th Now group?

  • I own a small business consulting firm that the serves tech and energy industries. Generally, pay is good in consulting. Owning a company can be risky financially - we've had good years and bad years.

  • I used to commute 1.5 hours each direction - it was exhausting and I hated it.

  • 100% remote.

  • I am furious with them for their lack of leadership and self awareness. The incompetence is shocking.
