"Over the past year, I’ve run point on all of our company’s sales, led the
technical components of all but two of our engagements, and over the lifetime
of this blog have had something like 300 catchups with professionals from
around the world. This has ranged from people on the ground in niche service
industries to executives at Fortune 500 companies. Because of this, I've had a
front-row view to our collective institutions across both the private and
public sector undergoing breath-taking mass psychosis. This essay is an attempt
to describe the bizarre dynamics that are currently at play, as I am in the
rare position where my wellbeing is not contingent on paying lip service to
madness, and to reassure the people trying to survive amidst all of this that
they are not crazy.
The reality is thus: the people in charge either have no plan, or see no path
forwards other than keeping their heads down. Not at banks, not at hospitals,
not in our government institutions. The world’s organisations have been
captured by people in the throes of frothing excitement, and saner people who
now live in a state of constant commingled fear and frustration."
