Off the Rails Episode 79: Leadership vs. Actual Workers
Recorded January 5, 2024
It’s a new year and we’re starting 2024 by looking backward! We return to a previous topic: working with integrators. On Off the Rails 78, we debated Marc’s question about how to ensure we get delivered what we wanted from AV integrators… and that conversation prompted quite the debate on Twitter, led by friend of the show, Joe Way. So, we invited Joe on the show to talk in more than 140 characters. Did we solve it this time?
We also review an article from the Harvard Business review about working from home and we each select our favorite (or least favorite) products of 2023.

Alternate show titles:
Waiting for you to ask for some petty thing
How can I do this without everyone here at home?
If you’re at home, you’re just jacking around
Now that you have more than 140 characters
Maybe I had too many edibles
The logic is sound
Here’s my point to all this sh*t
80% of the time I sound like an idiot redneck
The rubber is going to meet the road at some point
