Physical labor

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Will be away from the PC most of the day, and probably tomorrow, unless something breaks and requires me to do my job. I’ll be otherwise occupied doing physical labor helping getting prepared for next week’s event.

On the plus side, I don’t have to go to next week’s event so we’re talking 3 days of hanging around a mostly empty office building, getting work done on projects that are always more difficult when there’s more than 5 people in the building. 🙂

    Been another crazy busy day today, but I think I’m in good shape as far as being pretty well caught up so that I can tackle the stuff that I know is coming my way when I’m back in here on Monday. We’re off after work to visit the in-laws in the land of dial…

    The good news is, I know, without a doubt, that our weekly tape backups have all been good for over a month now, and I won’t even have to do my normal, routine tests to determine that. The bad news? Well, I think you can probably guess now that you know I spent some quality…

  • Linked – How to repair a trust problem

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    She mentions a round of layoffs as an example of breaking trust, and I’m glad she included that. All too often, when a round of layoffs occurs, senior management will return to talking about the culture or set of core values they expect all employees to follow without ever acknowledging that it’s different now. You can’t just return to talking about the importance of teamwork and diversity when you just canned 10% of the team as if nothing happened.

  • Early rollout notes

    As you know, I went public with the intranet site Friday, but with that being a Friday in the summer time I figured most of my real feedback would come today. Thus far, most of the feedback has been good but there are a couple of things I want to point out to anyone else…
