Speaking of the news media, this Tuesday my office will be inundated with news crews. Seems we’ve been chosen to be the topic of a Business Now profile, which should be shown on Tech TV and then perhaps in certain ABC News TV markets. The gist is that Oculan is succeeding in a tough business market. I suppose the producers will be coming to find out what our secret is.
I can save them the time in saying it right here: we’ve got good, smart people. It’s a fantastic team. The chemistry is right in this company, and chemistry often makes the difference between success and failure. Great people can do great things together. It certainly is worlds apart from the situation at $FORMER_EMPLOYER, that’s for sure.
Take Microsoft, for instance (“please! Bah dum-bum!”). They became the world’s biggest tech company through the sheer talent of their workforce. As much as I love to hate them, I give them credit for their ability to hire some extraodinarily talented people. Once a company gets a lock on the talent, it’s “game over.”
I hope the daylong filming that takes place Tuesday can convey that to the audience, that we’re a (work)force to be reckoned with. I hope our so-called competitors quake in their boots after seeing us on national television. Suckas!
TechTV rulez!
