I'm also at the corporate level where I get to hear a lot of tea regarding what goes on in the field and I'm occasionally invited on site visits so that I can know that I'm giving the folks I support the right tools to do their jobs. So I've got a decent idea of what goes on in the ground and in the field, but I'm also not beholden to the industry
