The only meeting takeaway is “get on a lifeboat while you can and paddle as fast as you can.” If you had any doubt about NM going under that town hall should have confirmed it for you.

DEI, LearnVest, and JES were the leak in the ship and now it’s half underwater. The founding fathers of NM would be appalled by what it has turned into.

Anyone have the bullet points of presentation? I was out of office the last couple weeks and haven't caught up yet.

There WAS an action item: meet with your team in October to practice the new NM Behaviors, like "Act Like an Owner," and holding each other accountable. Um, isn't that already an NM Behavior? Somehow that exercise and our new ways of communicating an are directly tied to having a more realistic & manageable workload and fewer #1 priorities.

What a waste of time. No action items, no actual changes, no reason to believe this isn’t just another attempt to rally around a new buzzword. When they cancel PI planning and put designers, devs, and product under the same roof I’ll pay attention. Until then Conway’s law applies — sh---y orgs make sh---y sh-t
