I'm sorry you're experiencing atmospheric rivers down there. We had eight of them last year. EIGHT. It was awful.

I've never heard tiger team and I'm def in a VC funded company that wants to be silicon valley soooooooo bad. But we are still just tech adjacent... Okay, invent whatever you think it means and see if you can get it to catch on... I googled it so you don't have to. It's just a douchey bro term for a cross-departmental workgroup. |

All the trees are falling down because the soil is so saturated. So all I hear outside is wind and sirens. It’s a little unnerving. But we still have power so all is good.

So I work in tech lending, SVB is in theory my competitor, but I’m on a much smaller scale. I’ve never heard of “tiger team” whatever TF that means. This nightmare has been “fun.”
Also I’m the Bay Area and have about $5k in storm damage so far. Fences downed, trees down, and overall annoyed that none of it will be replaced anytime soon. My dog is thrilled he now has easy access to the neighbors pool.

I’m in Tech (finance/mortgage software) and definitely heard Tiger Team. It’s a “thing” for many of my bank clients. 🤷🏽♀️

Ugh @dot I’m so sorry. Did you lose power too? Mine flickered a bit today but somehow held on. I think we are dry until Monday but I’ll believe it when I see it.

I always appreciate my congressman, but extra points for the Pride & Prejudice reference: Don and Rosa are a heck of a team ❤️ |

The school did for a bit, and DH says the house flickered, but we’ve thankfully been good. It’s amusing because based on past years, when I see rain in the forecast, I don’t believe it, but based on this year, when I see sun, I also don’t believe it! |

Someone in this thread is claiming "Tiger Team" is a common corporate term, I have never heard it before. Is that true? Maybe my company is woefully behind on cool terms like Tiger Team 😭 Or I'm not spending enough (any) time on LinkedIn. I've never heard tiger team and I'm def in a VC funded company that wants to be silicon valley soooooooo bad. But we are still just tech adjacent... I am in tech and consult mostly for VC-funded startups. Also never heard of Tiger Team. |

I’m in the Bay Area and work in banking. Tiger team is something that is used but not often. We do always have dumb project names though.
