Let me give you the inside scoop on what's been happening with our leadership team. So, picture this: we've got a fresh crew at the helm, all newbies in their roles, eager to make their mark. But here's the kicker – they're still finding their feet when it comes to leadership, management, and recognizing talent.
In a recent shake-up, they made a tough call and axed a key member of our team, someone who was the heartbeat and brains of our product crew. And let me tell you, it's left a big gap. Remember when our company got snapped up by that new private equity firm? Well, they showed the door to our COO, the one who really knew the ropes and cared about each and every one of us.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The new honchos? They're all from PLTW, and it's starting to show in our roadmap. They're tinkering with what makes us special, trying to swap it out for what they think is a shinier, better version. But we know what's up – SmartLab's got its own magic, and we don't want to lose it.
To top it all off, it feels like we're in the dark these days. No all-company meetings for what feels like forever, and the communication? Well, let's just say it's seen better days. Transparency? Accountability? Barely even on the radar.
