I appreciate your gracious response. It’s important that we discuss such matters openly and positively. You’re practical, as always, and I feel inspired to apply some of your suggestions in my own practice. There couldn’t be a better time to bring this up, in fact. Just this Tuesday marketing reported one of our customers thinks our monolithic architecture is too conservative and hurts their feelings. They suggested we switch to micro services as it aligns better with their beliefs. We did the math and found indeed micro services would not only make our customers happier but would also bring in more business. The CEO thinks it’s crucial we transition before our competition does to not hurt our business projections. I was thinking we could squeeze this into your next sprint and don’t waste any more time. I’m thankful to have you on the team as you’ve proved yourself tenacious and a key player. Your positivity is such an inspiration for the team! A can-do attitude is one of the best things one can do to themselves, their boss and their customers. In fact I feel it aligns very well with our “Yes, we can!” strategy to effective customer communications. Keep up the good work, our customers depend on you!
- specialist 5y agoNice. You'll be senior executive VP of advanced design actualization in no time! Fast track! More seriously, I discovered two weird unexpected side effects. First, even when you know it's all pro forma, praise still feels kinda awesome. Also, how you talk changes how you think. So eventually you'll come to actually believe it. Insidious!
