This is definitely what underperforming dinosaur management teams say when confronted with obvious solutions to create shareholder value. Sometimes activists and hostile acquirers propose value destroying ideas and should be rebuffed. Sometimes "long term value" really means perpetual stagnation. But value is value at the end of the day.

Has anyone who’s lead a product team butted heads and had a lot of friction with the CS (we feel like we’re pushing too much without any pull from their side, and they feel like product predictability can be improved)? Our release management processes need updating for sure as we’re going from a small startup and now scaling quite quickly. Any good resources or tips from experience on how to ease the tension a bit and introduce valuable process changes.

Last year I was going to take a bit of my savings and buy an investment property since there is a housing shortage, but I worried it was too volatile and didn’t want to deal with the mgmt, so I bought a variety of stocks instead.

It’s not enough to live off of, though, and I’m hesitant to invest any more money. Thoughts? Any ideas for other income?
