100% agreed, it's great if your manager is your no1 advocate, but you should be in charge of your life and your professional career

[@MICHAELPHILIPSINC]

lovely perspective guys.

[@mstrG]

Organizations which failed Agile stop pretending they are Agile. It doesn't mean Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches failed. Organizations may start realising they need to do more than just employee SMs and ACs and change the naming convention of meetings and work items. Not all companies fail Agile and We will see it in the near future.

I don’t think the lay offs are just Agile people…linked in is rife with people looking for work across many different skillsets. But certainly feels like Agile folks are the first to be targeted for cuts in many instances….rough times but the market seems to be picking up a little

[@sebastienc7717]

The guy is totally insensive to the situation. the layoffs are more than difficult, they destroy lives and people have to rebuild themselves.

[@AgileforHumans]

We spent a lot of time talking about the people side of things. Please watch the entire video before commenting. :-)

Yes, rebuild themselves. I did that a half a dozen times. As in anything, you get better in that, too. And yes, it's hard, and does not get much less hard (if not it gets more and more familiar). - I think they are rather sensitive.
