#Trump & snr advisers on his team came to believe #career ofcls who raised objections to their #policies on #legal or practical grounds — including some of their disputed #immigration plans (#TheCrueltyIsThePoint #FamilySeparation)— were deliberately sabotaging their agenda. Portraying #federal #employees as unaccountable bureaucrats, the #TrumpTeam has argued that removing #JobProtections for those who have any influence over #policymaking is justified because it is too difficult to fire them.

The rule addresses a move #Trump tried to make late in his presidency by issuing an EO known in shorthand as #ScheduleF. It would have empowered his admin to strip #JobProtections from #career #federal #employees — who are supposed to be hired based on #merit & cannot be arbitrarily fired. While the EO said agencies should not hire or fire Schedule F employees based on #political affiliation, it effectively would have made these employees more like political appointees who can be #fired #AtWill.

It was a growing trend before, but the onset of widespread remote work made it #explode during the #pandemic.

How to live within the prompt size constraints of #LLM #chatbots such as #ChatGPT?

When automating practically any real-world task, the amount of contextual knowledge required can be astounding. Meanwhile current ChatGPT has a limitation for tokens in the prompt+output of 4,000 tokens. The quality also goes down sharply long before this limit is reached.

The solution is simple: Decompose and structure the task into independent components which can be handled one by one in a conditional tree.

You take the input to the process, and ask ChatGPT: "Does this relate to topic X. Answer only yes/no."

You capture the answer and depending on that you go deeper into that subtopic, each time in a new, clean session. When you reach a "leaf" in the decision diagram, you ask ChatGPT to produce a conclusion for that one thing only.

You collect the conclusions across many, many sessions, in aggregate applying a huge amount of contextual knowledge to the task over multiple clean sessions, and finally you get the whole result which you can combine from the sub results either with ChatGPT or procedurally.

To do this effectively you need to #document your domain in a hierarchical fashion in small bite-sized, understandable bits. This doesn't only help #AIs, it will also help new #employees.

In the future, this encoded knowledge base will become a core asset of any #business. No better time to start #documenting your #processes, #procedures and #tasks than now!

1\ For some time now I've been checking #Glassdoor #ratings when making purchases of size / frequency.

While it isn't "the determining factor" in my purchase #decisions, it plays a significant role.

If I find that I can purchase something comparable from a company whose #employees seem to love their #employer or from one whose employees are miserable - I'm going to choose the happy making company.

It has come to our attention that some of our #Christian #employees felt offended by our e-mail yesterday on #appropriate #hygiene in the #workplace. May we assure you that our e-mail was in absolutely no possible way related to their holiday of the #Ash Odin’s Day, more commonly known as the Second Christian Omer or the Christian Elul. On that note, a reminder: do not use the kitchenette microwave to reheat fish.

Why “Copycat” #Layoffs Won’t Help #Tech #Companies — Or Their #Employees | #StanfordGraduateSchoolOfBusiness

"... the #workforce #reductions that are happening across the #TechIndustry are a result mostly of 'social contagion:' Behavior spreads through a network as companies almost mindlessly copy what others are doing. When a few firms fire staff, others will probably follow suit. Most problematic, it’s a behavior that kills people: For example, research has shown that layoffs can increase the odds of suicide by two times or more.
Moreover, layoffs don’t work to improve company performance, Pfeffer adds. Academic studies have shown that time and time again, workplace reductions don’t do much for paring costs. Severance packages cost money, layoffs increase unemployment insurance rates, and cuts reduce workplace morale and productivity as remaining employees are left wondering, 'Could I be fired too?'"

I scolded her and reminded her no bikinis before noon, and that I didn't hire nude servants just to see one wearing oppressive clothing.
