I guess I'm just not as cynical as that, or maybe I'm more clear eyed about my role in the chain of GTM, but I don't see what's so "unfortunate" about the scenario you described.

I probably have a whole personal blog of my own on the topic, dear as it is to my soul. My two main pieces of advice: The bar is very very low, and share your burden quickly. 99 times out of 100 you are way overestimating the value of wha

100% in the "nobody remembers what you did, everyone remembers how you made them feel" camp. An automated no is such a no-brainer versus the reputational risk of being seen as a bad or callous employer. And people have looooong me

Going one step up the ladder... So many products and services have been ruined by the need for a subscription/ recurring revenue model instead of a consumption / one time purchase model. I see so many products (mostly software) I

As a data person, I read it as: you don't always have anecdotes. So your data needs to account for blind spots and have enough granularity to see the issues. And focus more on negative metrics / finding and addressing anomalies

Can someone comment? Is this just posturing in a legal case? They're trying to protray themselves as "the little guys" in an antitrust suit. I'm not giving this a lot of weight

So close and then the stealing part slipped back in. We have a separate term already for the right to copy something - copyright. We have a term for copying something without that right- copyright infringement. Not theft. Copyright infringe

Please re read the actual article and comment again. This is not about inflationary pricing. This is companies using broader inflation "memes" as a cover story to stuff their pockets. No worker jobs were at risk.
