Advice to Management
  • Stop the toxic culture that the managers bring from Amazon.
  • Identify individual strengths and nurture them to grow in their role.
  • Don't force people to talk even when they don't have to.
  • Look at a single engineer's calendar; 45% of their time is in meetings, which causes a loss of productivity.
