That “Fireside Chat” today was beyond corny and completely useless. I’m sure the 1933 evening radio programs were much more informative and reassuring to the American people. Totally scripted questions which were rehearsed, regurgitated answers that could be found in previous emails and the FAQ website, beating around the bush & stalling on important issues that will need to be addressed pronto, communication is not tailored to specific departments, i.e. using a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective. For example, I don’t travel, so I don’t care how I access files when I’m in an airport. Of course, the collaboration, security, and AI rationale was propagated instead of being frank and stating that it’s a cost-cutting measure. No, you are not getting a Chromebook immediately, so stop asking. Yes, we know Early Adopters begin December 8th and everybody else mid-February. What will you need to do if use complex tools? They’ll “figure it out” later on, aka you’ll need to rebuild everything from scratch and make some sacrifices along the way.
Buckle up, it’s about to get brutal.
