Henry Ford, father of the 20th century corporate slave model and racist, once said that “customer can have any color he wants so long as it’s black” and some 100 years later we still put our process over service because … Continue reading
The last few posts really started burning the vlad@vladville.com inbox so here are some of the points I thought I should discuss in public. I always like hearing from people, please drop me a note if you’ve got something on … Continue reading
