How have your colleagues shown kindness this week?

Here’s one from an anonymous Cardiffian to get the cogs whirring:

“I found a building pass in the stairway at work so I messaged him to let him know where I was so he could come and get it.”

@merriamwebster, I’m hearing the distress of lots of my #editor #colleagues about the decision to not show #word #divisions in the 12th edition of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. What was the reasoning behind this? And why no warning about the change?

A teacher who “snorted” white powder off a school desk during an after-hours Christmas party has admitted it…

Colleagues doing collegial things. Their monster remains in the White House. More Senate-appointed monsters control the Supreme Court. They want this hell. They want troops in our streets. I don't care what they say. If they can DO THIS, they can remove a 34-time felon and rapist.

They don't want to. Don't start with me about how wonderful Democrats are, or we'll have a discussion about Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and tough-on-crime laws that ripped Black households apart, and sent one sap to prison for life for stealing a hammer from a chain store.

The Senate wants everything that's happening to us, or the Democrats WOULD NOT be DOING A DAMN THING with REPUBLICANS until REPUBLICANS DID THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!

They just don't give two shits for us. We don't make them rich. We're all just annoying parasites to American fascism. It's all about the money, now that money is speech, and the criminality of the rich is constitutionally protected speech, if they include a little extortion. Free speech.

It's lies upon more lies built upon a foundation of deceit held in place by the common glue of child rape and Russian money.

How are our farmers doing this year? They'll ask their chefs.

Do not bail your Republican #colleagues out. Do not help them pass their disastrous budget. And do not give up your demand that any final budget must address #healthcare and must stop illegal impoundments and rescissions. https://act.citizen.org/page/88497/petition/1

Just met someone at work who was keen to answer my questions by typing out long paragraphs of explanation instead of forcing us to “connect” on a call.

He then apologised for the wall of text, presumably because he mistook me for one of these mad ‘uns who prefer hour-long sessions where we surprise each other with questions on the spot.

You are officially my favourite person I have ever worked with, Derek.

Never leave me, Derek.

I think one of my #Colleagues #DayDrinks on the job. We are a remote team and she may not get caught unless she really gets drunk.
I guess she sometimes forgets about a meeting and that’s when it shows.

#Editor #colleagues, if you've thought about getting into #medical #editing, you need to register for this class. Laura Arul knows her stuff! https://community.the-efa.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1979540

“Jamie Dimon is unequivocal about the impact of #RemoteWorking on #training new bankers. “It doesn’t work in our business,” the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase told Stanford’s Graduate School of Business this year.

“Younger people [are] left behind.”
He has previously spoken of the importance of “the #apprenticeship model . . . which is almost impossible to replicate in the #Zoom world”.

In many #workplaces, that #ApprenticeshipModel is as simple as sitting near a more experienced #colleague or joining a #client meeting to watch how it is done, while also *learning the ropes* by taking on often more #repetitive and #basic #tasks.

But #OnTheJob learning is now facing the double threat of #HybridWorking, which means #JuniorStaff spend less time #observing and #listening to more senior #colleagues, and #GenerativeAI, which is making #obsolete many of the routine tasks that have long been building blocks of #ProfessionalKnowledge.”

#angry #bosses having #tantrums at #work

Work is usually a place where people are expected to control their emotions. That doesn’t mean you turn off your #feelings, obviously — but #professionalism involves maintaining a pretty even outward keel. We’re not supposed to give someone the #silenttreatment, cry in every #meeting, or yell at our #colleagues.
And yet, for some reason, in some #offices, people yell.

The best kind of day for me as a #SelfEmployed #editor: When an #author emails me to say they’re very happy with my #edits and feel that I helped them say things very #clearly, so they will be #recommending me to their #colleagues. ☀️

Day 31 cont 🗳️📝🗣️🔉📺

The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by 🥔🤓), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.

“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.

It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

Half the battle is attendance. ⚔️

Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.
