Apparently, if you like the idea of a four day workweek, it might be assumed that you aren't very engaged or invested in the job. Why there is such black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking is bizarre to me. And I wasn't hesitant to say so. I said what...
Photo by Sebastian Herrmann on Unsplash In an article that should surprise no one, LinkedIn asserts, "Workers can't escape their emails." (https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/workers-cant-escape-their-emails-5845418/) I would add tools like Zoom, Slack, Teams, etc., to that list. I don't think email takes all the blame.

I recently watched Orlando Miner's video "Massive Layoffs Have Started | Housing Market 2022" that you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiMiXOXvLgY. As he says: it's not about gloom and doom, it's about giving you...
Photo by Alex Kotliarskyi on Unsplash Ahh yes. The good ol' cube farm. Who misses that? Prolly no one. Or at least no sane person. Last week, LinkedIn asked an interesting question: "Teams: Do they still work?" You can find the article here: https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/teams-do-they-still-work-5846690/. Of course there...
These days, that is definitely a big question. I am happy to announce that I was recently interviewed by The Fairmont Post regarding this very question.
