Reality, however, will contradict them on every step so let me tell you what I’m on about. They’ve also (supposedly) changed the hiring process and they promise a better-than-ever candidate experience. They’ve become a helluva lot more visible both online and off by creating content or organizing events. Since my first stint with Crossover, almost 3 years ago, a lot has changed. ![]() In fact the only reason I’m writing this is that I’ve got enough time on my hands to worry about other people. ![]() Now, before you label me as a disgruntled employee and go check your wall for new kitten photos, note that since my contract was terminated a year ago, I started a new business (my third), and am happily living my 30s doing less and earning more than I ever had.
