I am working at one now and nothing has changed. Automations are so many we recruit an army of people just checking if they ran, while knowing how to replace them if they didnt (or, more accurately, who to call at night to fix it asap). And

Im a smoker, and damn the plane story sounds terrifying. In fact Im smoking now, in my bathroom next to a loud exhaust fan because my wife isn't here. A far cry from when my dad used to smoke next to me while I was doing my homework :D

We do it. Usually agile comes from above and the team only have to tick a box, say they re agile and show a shadow org around it. We even rotate the scrum master sometimes to spread the joy. End of the day, we fill the client's need, a

Funnily enough my company started an agile reorg last year, and it's going as well as you can imagine. Cant wait for the de-agiling next phase where we can go back to having 4 matrix managers instead of 5...
