Balancing Support for All Levels
While it's great to see a strong focus on frontline associates, it's important not to overlook the needs of junior engineers, managers, and middle management. If we neglect the support and motivation for those in between, we risk losing valuable talent. Imagine if our frontline workers had to operate without the guidance and innovation provided by our engineers and product managers. It could seriously impact our productivity and success. Let's not forget the lessons from the past. Remember when we lost ground to Amazon because of a lack of focus on engineering and innovation? We can't afford to make the same mistakes again. The engineering and innovation talent that has been crucial to our recent growth is at risk of being lost if we don't prioritize their needs now. Management, let's ensure we're supporting all levels of our team effectively to maintain our competitive edge and continue our upward trajectory.
if we don't support our engineers, who will then engineer our support?
hahahaa
So what OP is saying is… if we don’t support engineers, we might not be able to engineer a future for the company ???
Ah yes, let’s shed a tear for middle management, the true unsung heroes of corporate struggle
Companies always say they care about balance, but when it comes to budget cuts, we all know who gets left behind
Not sure I buy this argument. Plenty of companies thrive by focusing more on frontline workers and less on middle management.

Totally agree. A strong foundation at all levels is key to long-term success. Ignoring engineers and middle management will only create cracks in the system.
