Isn’t anybody going to comment about how big tech optics are dreadful right now? Some letting massive numbers of people go basically via email with no notice, and at the same time making massive investments in future technology? #NoSoul#NoLoyalty

Q5 2022: Last year we expected the return to the office. Instead, we got new terms like Great Resignation & Quite Quitting. What's your take on this? Where is the disconnect between employees and employers? Tech seems to be hit the hardest. Why? Is there hope for '23? #AVInTheAM
Q4 2021: The terms Chip Shortage & #SupplyChain Disruption crept into our conversations. How is the struggle as of Jan 2023? Are you redesigning due to shortages & availability? What are some Band-aids you've seen? What's the best news you've had about the situation? #AVInTheAM
Q3 2020: Pandemic & #HybridWorking had us talking #WFH to death. Now 3 yrs later what has changed about WFH? Have you improved your home set-up or have you taken it down? Do you still feel the future is hybrid? It's 2023, how many online events do you have scheduled #AVInTheAM
Q2 2019: We spent a lot of time that year talking about AV Certs. How do you now feel about certs today? Have Manufacturer certs become the most valuable? What about alternative edu pathways like Coursera & Udemy. Is anything really gaining momentum? #AVInTheAM#AVtweeps
Q1 2018: The 1st question that Launched #AVintheAm was about Alexa in the corp space. Maybe not Alexa, but where are we with Voice today? Has Gesture control improved for AV purposes? Has Machine Learning helped control? Is there something new on the horizon? #AVinTheAM

is evil. When they are informed about an obvious scam - like the fake puppies below or the fake shipping boxes where chopsticks were shipped - they are nearly impossible to contact and ultimately do nothing. #FacebookIsEvil
PointOfOrder: I love assembling themed publications & editing articles that authors have contributed but when they include run-on-sentences that easily should have had at least two if not three periods it sometimes makes my brain explode trying to read them & follow their point.
