So much has changed the past few years on the people side in SaaS and tech. Perhaps the biggest change though is how many folks want to manage a team, versus do the work themselves. The 1000+ unicorns of Covid fueled this, with ample capital to hire, hire and hire. And so did a bit of laziness that creeped into many of us during the past few years.
