Q3 content roadmap · on track

Enterprise-grade commentary on the modern workplace.

I'm Sam Wilson — @LilJehu_. I make fictional videos about remote work, standups that could have been emails, and the guy who says "circling back" unironically. None of these companies are real. Some of these meetings are. But I digress.

About

It started with a meeting that should have been an email.

Sam Wilson spent enough years inside tech orgs to learn the dialect: the reorg announced as an opportunity, the roadmap that is mostly a vibe, the 4:55pm "quick sync." He started writing the characters down. Then he started playing all of them.

Everything on this site is fiction. The companies are invented, the org charts are invented, and any resemblance to your last standup is entirely your problem.

Sponsorships, speaking, and brand work go to the email below. Everything else — I digress.

  1. FY1 Joined the workforce Learned that "let's take this offline" means the conversation is over.
  2. FY2 First video, filmed on a lunch break A manager who says "no notes" and then gives eleven notes.
  3. FY3 The cast grew to a full fictional org Five channels, one recurring HR department, zero real employees.
