Right sizing my tech stuff-

I self host a lot of things and have very little "in the cloud" to the point I don't need high speed broadband most of the time, just occasionally for remote access to work. So, I asked my Internet provider if they had a lower tier, which they did, and now I'm saving $15 a month for half the Internet speed and I am 0% affected by that.

Quentin Willson also talks of the carrot approach - more benefits for micro cars could include free parking, drive in a bus lane, and so on. Drive change with very low cost legislation. #EverythingElectric #EverythingElectricNorth #Rightsizing

Mrs. Martial Combat was reading meditatively in the book of Judges, the story of Gideon and how half the warriors got sent home so that God could offer a miraculous victory with a smaller army.

Mrs. Martial Arts: “hmmm, there must be somebody in our church ministry that we don’t need!”🤪 #budgetHack #managementHack #startUps #rightSizing

@blueteamgoon That's the one.

With budget cuts, though, we had to sell off "Under" and now it's just "The Dome." The capital T wound up costing slightly more than all the money back from the sold word and lowercase letter. #highered #visionaryleadership #rightsizing #sustainability

Meanwhile, profits soar again, stockholders are happy, and tens of thousands of highly skilled people are left twisting in the breeze.

Don’t kid yourself. The tech sector didn’t “overhire.” They finally brought in the right number of people to get the job done, and we were the ones punished for it.

They are calling it #downsizing. I actually think it is #rightsizing. The tech bubble caused all companies to hire a lot with inflated expectations. Then came pandemic reality. What are they gonna do?

I agree to the point by the Harvard professor that #Google didn't have to #lie and create a facade for performance grading. They could have just said the honest truth. And possibly help them land another job instead of tainting them as poor performers.
