Truth! I'm reminded of this timeless User Friendly panel ...
The saying "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" is at its essence about risk management. The traditional wisdom goes that if you buy from a big company, you're going to be safe. It may be more expensive, but big companies project an image of stability and reliability, so buying their wares is seen as the prudent choice. Except, it isn't. Certainly not any more. Meta killing Workplace is merely exhibit #49667.
Any company that hitched their wagon to Workplace just got served with an eviction notice. In a about a year, the data will go read-only, and shortly after that, it's game over. Now companies from Spotify to McDonalds, along with millions of others, have to scramble to find an alternative. Simply because Meta can't be bothered to maintain a platform that's merely used by millions when their consumer business is used by billions.
This, right here, is the risk of buying anything from big tech like Meta and Google. Their main ad-based cash cows are so fantastically profitable that whether it's the millions of paying accounts on Workplace or the millions of live websites once hosted by Google Domains, it all just pales in comparison, and is thus one strategy rotation away from being labeled "non-core" and killed off.
Buying from big isn't the sure bet they want you to believe. Buy from someone who actually needs your business to make the wheels go round.

An unfortunate side effect of disaster relief is taking place in Florida right now: scammers taking advantage of vulnerable communities who just lost everything. To the survivors of Hurricane #Ian: know that all of our services are delivered at ZERO COST to homeowners. Always.
This rule needs to be ditched quick. Many properties will be overtaken by mold quick. I’ll be working on one of them tomorrow.
The City of Cape Coral is asking residents with homes built before 1981 to hold off on repairs until December 1st because of FEMA's 50% rule. ⬇ nbc-2.com/news/local/lee-cou…

Every evening Ukraine's President #Zelenskyy addresses his nation. Tonight for the first time, he did it in English. Calling on people everywhere to show their solidarity "Come out of your offices and homes, show your support to the Ukrainian people" #UkraineRussiaWar

Big companies make a huge impact on the world. @Figma product is universal and has no analogues today. Do not let russia’s aggressor use modern technology and craft propagandistic websites and applications. Please stop supplying @Figma for Russia! This will help to save Ukraine!
Good work @PayPal
We received a letter from @Dan_Schulman, CEO PayPal. So now it’s official: PayPal shuts down its services in Russia citing Ukraine aggression. Thank you @PayPal for your supporting! Hope that soon you will open it in for 🇺🇦

Putin needs to be removed from power. Even if an agreement is reached, the world cannot allow him to go back to his fortress and regroup. He will not stop. We need to wake up. His next destination should be The Hague. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

There are rare moments in history when the divide between good and evil is crystal clear, with no space for fence-sitters. Individuals, companies, countries, don't be on the wrong side of history, right now. You will not be forgiven later. #SlavaUkraini!
