Me some days at work…

“Like a duck on the pond. On the surface everything looks calm, but beneath the water those little feet are churning a mile a minute.” -Coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman), The Replacements.

A post from #LinkedIn saying this is the right behavior.

I heartily disagree. Working really hard is not anywhere near the right metric for determining if a person is a winner. I know people who work hard, burn lots of hours working, but end up achieving nothing because they don’t understand what needed to be done.

This letter also harkens to the toxic hustle culture where there is no work life balance. Where people burn themselves out.

A winner is the person who gets what they need to get done at work and then goes to live their life.

Work is not life, life is not work.

She goes out to work, he stays at home (and logs on)

The upshot is that, in aggregate, it is easier for men to work from wherever they please. A survey carried out by McKinsey, a consultancy, found that 38% of working men had the option to work remotely full-time, compared with 30% of women. Roughly half of women report being unable to work remotely at all, compared with 39% of men.

This may sound like yet another way in which women have ended up with the short end of the stick. But that view is myopic. Couples compromise in all kinds of ways for their lives to work together. If she is offered a big promotion, conditional on moving to Chicago, she may have to turn it down if his job is tied to New York. The geographical liberation of either partner makes it possible for the other to ascend the corporate ladder. The Costa Mesa couple picked that area because it was convenient for her job—and for access to their children’s grandparents, who now regularly entertain the little ones.

"But a few months in, his supervisor started calling him 'boy.' Keys heard white coworkers use the N-word and call people 'monkey.' There was a swastika drawn with a black marker near where he clocked in to work every day."

Can I get some GOOD VIBES my way today, please?

While I can't go into details publicly quite yet, I have a MAJOR work meeting at 1:30pm today with one of the Regional Vice Presidents of our company today. It's not a bad meeting, but it's a VERY IMPORTANT meeting in my career and I'm beyond nervous to say the least.

It's scheduled to be 45 minutes long, and I feel like this could be the longest 45 minutes of my life!

Good morning to all of you here in the #Fediverse today!

Tell me about your day today as far as what you have planned and/or what you've already accomplished for the day.

For me, it's work stuff with two meetings this afternoon. Shouldn't be too bad, meeting wise.

After that, just enjoying the day as best as possible though it's supposed to rain most of the day here today.

Welcome to planet Earth. A random rock in the Universe where the most "intelligent" species only cares about trade. Trade this for that. So that the members of its species spend all of their life trading. That's all it is.

It is not about creating smarter and relaxed humans, and a nice environment for everyone. Not about exploring and learning, or enjoying. It is about trading.

Primitive species.
