Nah, We Don’t Need Innovation
I am starting to see a disturbing trend in business as we continue to move through the pandemic and the economic fallout that has resulted.

Remote Support
Who knew? All that complaining about remote support that we all did at some point in time. Do not lie, you complained too, even if under your breath.
