#value
Ich staune immer wieder, wie stark überbewertet Firmen/Unternehmen an der Börse starten. Wenn man Aktienwerte unterschiedlichster Unternehmen über die letzten 5 Jahre studiert, sieht man häufig, dass sie in dieser Zeit massiv an Wert verlieren. Ein Anzeichen dafür, dass gemachte Versprechen nicht gehalten werden, oder das Marketing anfänglich besser war als das Produkt.

Also, what's with the proliferation of these useless news-shaped websites like Second Nexus and Comic Sands?
Everything I've seen linked to there is essentially a headline, a lede that repeats it, and then nothing but embedded Tweets from #randos around the #net (which my adblocker hides, so at least there's that).
Seriously, the #value added by these sites is so low it must be #negative.
Unfortunately, I seem to get links to those two sites in particular all the bloody time in my Fedi feed.

What if it wasn't possible to waste your time? Or for others to do so?
Here's several ways to make that true:
@flexion @roobre it's classical #Enhittification...
Not everything needs to have #Cloud or #Blockchain or #Microtransactions or to be #Online...
There's hardly anything that needs #aws to add #value to a product or service...
I can imagine several scenarious, but none involve #Tamagotchi-Relaunches or shit like the #Juicero which got almost $ 1/8B or $125M from Google in funding...
IOW: If that's not evidence the #GAFAMs have more cash than sense, then we should give up as species existing.
What is the return on investment (ROI) from attending an event? Here's my definition: Conversations => Relationships => Value.
#meetings #EventDesign #ROI #conversation #relationships #value #eventprofs

A meeting is fundamentally a team endeavour and when responsibility, ownership, and accountability become blurred we are back to square one and having our time wasted in futile meetings. Yet, get it right and effective meetings become the space in our day we make to provide some sort of service to other people.

I wonder if anyone has thought of an app that lets you - as a young kid - find your "peeps" -- the folks that resonate with you , folks who would #value you for who you are, and not judge you for worthless things like appearance, upbringing, etc.
I had a #dream once where I entered a gymnasium full of people who were my 'peeps'. And it was like walking into heaven. The look in their eyes when they saw me was something I'll treasure forever. Even if it was just a dream, it's worth so much to me to find a way to make that a reality for myself and others.
So many kids are pushed into situations where they are bullied, judged, or hurt, and it's just such a waste. #everyone has talents, skills, or just a natural desire to do something. And we should be finding ways to cultivate that, not ways to force everyone into a cookie cutter existence.

Mass tech worker layoffs and the soft landing (21 Mar 2023)
The capital classes are ready for the final rug-pull, where all the value is transfered FROM people who #make things for a living TO people who #own things for a living.
"Activist investors" have triggered massive waves of tech layoffs, #firing so many #tech #workers so quickly that it's hard to even come up with an accurate count. The total is somewhere around 280,000 workers:
These layoffs have nothing to do with "trimming the fat" or correcting the hiring excesses of the lockdown. They're a project to #transfer #value FROM workers, customers and users TO shareholders.
– Cory Doctorow
Found this "Surround yourself with people that value your value!" and "If you're feeling worthless change to a place that acknowledges your #value ❤️"
I'd say do not wait until you feel worthless so act even when you're somewhat valued yet feel grossly underutilized.
Note this also applies to #management As manager I've seen changing someone's role to "better fitting place" leading to dramatic increase in well-being and performance (value through retention).

Is that love in the air, or perhaps it is change?
Since the start of the year, there's been a productive shift in the #ESG narrative, one that harkens back to its roots of addressing material issues and driving value.
In this read, we'll take a look at three types of narratives that have been making the rounds:
📈ESG has value
👏You are already addressing ESG issues
🌎There is value in the values
Beyond this reframing back to its origins, ESG has another story to tell. This last story is causing conservative state leaders to revisit the costs of their anti-ESG rhetoric.

💬 We build our understanding of the world based on how much we enjoy certain aspects of it. The object does not have inherent hedonistic worth. Symmetry, balance, and the golden ratio, among others, have been proposed as factors in how we evaluate aesthetic quality. But, valuation systems are flexible, not dogmatic.

It's all about avoiding #risk by offloading it to others.
