Be careful who you work for
Be careful who you work for
Solid product, though complex. But big, loyal enterprise customers will always need more capacity in the face of ever more incoming data.
Certain managers are abdicators and without empathy. Be very careful if you run into one of those.

Find the managers who shanghai people and then abdicate, and fire them.
