From Employees who left returned after finding the grass wasn't greener, says Tyler Technologies CEO · · CNBCTelevision
“With hybrid work, you don't necessarily have to be in the location, and so one of the more competitive factors we're having are even people from larger cities trying to make moves on people in more mid-sized towns and things like that where we have a lot of our offices.”
On , H. Moore, Chief Executive Officer, President & Director at Tyler Technologies Inc, spoke about hybrid work during Employees who left returned after finding the grass wasn't greener, says Tyler Technologies CEO on CNBCTelevision.
In a November 2025 fireside chat, Charles H. Moore stated that his software Color Forth "has now finished" after 25 years, as it stopped working following Windows 10 and 11 updates. He said he spent weeks troubleshooting the issue with Microsoft's Copilot but was unable to resolve crashes related to graphics routines. Moore said he is open to open-sourcing the implementation but noted it is coded in assembler and "unreadable." He expressed a preference for returning to bare-metal programming and using his own hardware rather than switching to other operating systems. In an August 2022 interview on CNBC, Moore discussed Tyler Technologies' employment practices. He said the company was seeing "boomerangs"—employees who left and later returned—because they "learned the grass is not always greener on the other side." Moore noted that Tyler Technologies had not laid off employees during the Great Recession or the COVID-19 pandemic, and described the company as "a very stable employer." He said the company had about 7,500 employees across roughly 80 offices and used a flexible hybrid work model.
