Should I ask my boss to shut down the free coffee bar and fire the barista?

This sushi we're having for lunch must also cost a fortune

Jokes aside, this screams of an org that isn't able to judge its employees by what they deliver, so they have to go chase processes

Either Shopify employees are delivering what they're expected to or they're not. It feels like executives aren't able to figure out if they are

Well you're certainly asking the wrong guy that, as I think hiring a barista and serving sushi at any business is unnecessarily, but I can be a little ruthless about that stuff. ;)

Anyway, Shopify stock has taken a SHARP hair cut over the past 2/3 years 160 bucks to 60 bucks is no fun. Sounds to me like their signaling to the market they're getting things under control (as basically every public market business is right now).

Their stock popped pretty hard today. If a meeting cost calculator saves me laying people off, bring on the meeting cost calculators!!
