  • Sling for live TV and Max for John Oliver, that’s pretty much it. Oh, and a Disney+ gift subscription for my sister. Comcast gave me a free subscription to Peacock, but frankly I never watched it and I’m not on Comcast anymore so I don’t know if it’s still active or not.

    My WIFE might have a problem though… She does Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+/Hulu, AppleTV, Spotify, I think there might be others I’m not aware of.
















  • Our CEO made a big announcement about how we were going to move from a B2B (Business to Business) environment to a B2C (Business to Consumer) environment. B2C is the future, Internet of Things, yadda yadda.

    So, since we have an open door policy, I popped him an email and asked him what the plan was to invest in our infrastructure because, as it stood then, B2C was out of reach and the clients we had attempting it were finding it wasn’t robust enough, citing my example client list and recent failures.

    I got immediate heat. Nobody had told him our infrastructure couldn’t do it. “What are your sources? How do you know?” - Sources cited. CEO went to his yes men: “This guy knows what he’s talking about and seems really sure of what he’s saying…”

    Oh.

    10 years later, we’re on our 3rd CEO, our infrastructure still isn’t updated, and B2C still hasn’t happened.
