All Hands Meeting, continued

Pay no attention to the disappearing engineer

In case you snoozed through it, our last email stated that we were no longer going to publish comics. PSYCH! April fools prank! Comics are forever. We loved Deryn’s guest post, though, check it out.

Today we’re resuming the story of Multi Plane Planning implementation at Strategent. From March 18th’s newsletter:

The leadership team at Strategent was having so much trouble prioritizing work for Q2 that they decided to take the drastic step of opening a portal to another dimension, where additional work can be completed. Late stage capitalism, amirite?

The newly opened portal to another dimension quickly swallowed up Darlington, a brave volunteer.

Six panel cartoon showing Darlington disappearing into the portal, followed by Dogboss being snapped out of his shock by Meconia. Dogboss then puts a positive spin on the Robot team's latest pivot.
mix that metaphor!

Scan your inboxes next sprint to find out what Darlington sees on the other side of that portal... 🔮

Strategent, the company featured in Lowered Techspectations, is now on the most aggravating social media platform: LinkedIn! If you are brave enough to wade into all the self-congratulatory, AI-generated posts about having been let go from a job you hated, go give Strategent a follow!
