More Holiday Fun

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Speaking of Friends in Tech and the holidays, Douglas Welch, of the Career Opportunities podcast, as well as many, many other things, sent an email out last night that I thought you might be interested in. So if you’re looking for a little of the holiday spirit, check it out. I haven’t seen this year’s reading yet, but it’s usually a pretty good time.

As you may have known, we produced our 4th Annual Live Reading of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” on Sunday. Below are links to the audio and the video from uStream, too. If you subscribe to my shows, you will see the audio in your podcast downloads, as well.

The recording of the live video from uStream is here:

Merry Christmas Everyone!

These surveys just keep getting worse and worse. These types of things are going to create a massive hole in the labor force, and destroy our ability to create a diverse work environment.

An Important Balancing Point – Be Professional Always

An Important Balancing Point – Be Professional Always

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I talk a lot about the Great Resignation and employees taking control over their own careers instead of just following along with what the company wants them to do. I stand by it, and like Mark, I am also thrilled that we are seeing a shift in the balance of power as employees start to recognize their value.

As long as you are there and getting paid you owe them your best. Be professional, even if the company isn’t. Do your job even if you plan on quitting tomorrow. Commit your best efforts to the project even if you don’t agree with it.
