What Was The One (1) Personal Purchase That Makes Your Work Day Markedly Better?
--
For me it was earbuds with microphones for meetings & technical calls, both #WFH so not disturbing the whole house and in the office as well so a little less obtrusive; the microphone is sensitive enough that I can speak on the call in a quiet voice
(and I can listen to a podcast on my lunchtime walk, etc...)

Here in the US the definition of "underage" changes when you cross state lines. It is also a very different thing depending on whether you're talking about alcohol, sex, driving, working, voting, joining the military, etc.

be skeptical when somebody says "underage"

“Put simply, a big part of the #American #working #population is earning less than the #SocialSecurity trustees (including me) anticipated decades ago — and therefore paying less in Social Security #payroll #tax.

Had the pay of American workers kept up with what had been the trend decades ago — and kept up with their own increasing productivity — their Social Security payroll tax payments would have been enough to keep the program flush.” —— Robert Reich

Got invited to a big leadership meeting (which I have never been to) because my boss is leaving.

With approximately 12 minutes of warning.

I haven't met half these people.

Therefore, I have lipstick on.

Do you, or does anyone you know participate in a #timebank scheme?

How is it #working out?

I used to listen to a lot of #music while #working. Especially while #coding. Over the years I realized it’s better for me to do that either with music I know quite well and have listened to a lot, or music that’s not too interesting (melodically, harmonically, rhythmically, tonally, whatever), so I can focus on my main task instead of getting #distracted by how interesting something is to me musically.

The last year or so I’ve found this getting even harder. Over the last few months I’m basically only able to focus with white
#noise, rarely in silence, though silence with noise cancelling headphones also kind of works, but white noise seems to work the best. I have open back headphones that allow me to both crank up the white noise and still hear my keyboard clacking, which seems to be something I really enjoy as part of the audio background. Plus that way if the cats make an unduly loud noise (usually meaning they’ve broken or are about to break something) I can still hear it and react, which won’t happen with the noise cancelling ones on.

On 21 May 1838 an estimated 150,000 people assembled on Glasgow Green for a mass demonstration.

There they witnessed the launch of the #People’s #Charter, a list of demands for political reform.

The changes they called for included voting by #secret #ballot, #equal-#sized #constituencies and, most importantly, that all men should have the #vote.

The Chartists, as they came to be known, were the first national #mass #working-#class movement.

In the decade that followed, they collected six million signatures for their Petitions to Parliament: all were rejected, but their campaign had a significant and lasting impact.

It is amazing how much time can disappear dealing with what seems to be an endless set of tiny details.

Sometimes I measure that time in minutes.

Then, suddenly, I realize it has been hours.

...or days.

And I realize the job isn't done.

...but then, is it ever?

@rbreich I wonder what the extent of this is in #Canada. I’d expect that it’s quite similar to the USA.

I haven't been on social media for awhile. I honestly don't know how people have the time for multiple social media apps. That said- I decided that making, reading, or commenting on a post vs replying immediately to an annoying email may help me be better person. That's what we are going to try. #fingercrossed #Jobs #Working #Monday #Email

There was a trial of #fourdayweek #working in 2022; the results in:

70 firms expressed interest but 9 didn't start for various practical reasons.

of 61 firms who completed the trial in UK:

18 will maintain the 4 day working week permanently;

38 are continuing with the trial;

Participating firms saw revenue rise & staff turnover decline.

#workers found level(s) of #wellbeing increased.

We now have good data on #productivity & better life/work balance; time for others to follow?

Do you think a contractor/freelancer should spend his own time (this is not a paid time) reading your code/learning your tools?

to be clear, I am not talking about the time the freelancer spend just because he wants to even if its not paid.

The #Tory Government's war on #working people begins as it introduces new #AntiStrikeLegislation

"The simple fact of the matter is this government has actually declared war on working people by attacking our long standing British liberties. It’s no coincidence its happening at the very moment workers across the country are uniting and saying #EnoughIsEnough to the biggest drop in living standards since records began."
