I left Facebook six weeks ago, after working there for nearly four years. Working at Facebook is like working in a bubble.

The company, like its peers in the tech industry, is highly effective at distributing everything from technology to food on-demand to make employees more efficient. So reentering the real world has afforded me the chance to observe many trends that have been happening gradually over the past several years all at once.

The reactions of an “outsider” may pose some interesting business and productivity opportunities.
