As a PMP with nearly 9 years in operations, I see teams confuse activity with progress daily. Running 15 concurrent projects isn't a badge of honor; it's a WIP limit violation. True project management isn't about starting more things; it's about ruthlessly finishing the right things. If everything is a priority, nothing is. What are you stopping today?

People do what is rewarded, most companies run on politics, there’s a reason Elon dumped 80% of twitter and there was no negative impacts on service. Most people are working on stuff the ultimately produces very little.

I'd argue that there were and continue to be significant issues on the quality of service. They had multiple outages and continue to have issues in operations. Twitter's valuation was slashed significantly as advertised revenue dropped 45%.

It's taken the company years to recover, and while it's valuation is near the $44billion it cost to took over I'm hardly convinced that it's accurate since it's privately owned now and tech in general seems way overvalued currently, especially anything Musk touches.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.
