Linked – Your LinkedIn “Likes” May Be Hurting Your Career

Because your “likes” place content into your connections’ LinkedIn streams, you should think of it more like a “share” button. Whether intended or not, each “like” is a message that you believe this content will be of interest to others in your professional network.

The advice in the article really applies to all social media where people you work with, or might potentially want to work with, can see what you’re sharing. I’m not going to say you shouldn’t have some fun on social media, it helps make you seem like more of a human being when you do, but think about what you decide to follow or like, and whether you want to explain it to your boss, or in a job interview.

    Linked: 5 Simple Ways to Do More for Your Employees’ Mental Health This Week

    The reason I wanted to focus on this is that it can also be very easy to underestimate how much time people are spending on their work when the work is being done remotely, or in a hybrid situation. Even in the legal or consulting worlds where many of us are billing our time, or at least tracking time worked on projects, it’s not telling you the whole story. There is a lot of time spent on miscellaneous tasks that are getting lost in whatever tool you’re using to track the amount of time worked.

    It’s the 15 minutes I logged in to check my schedule before accepting a handful of meeting requests before heading to bed. The time spent clearing out the inbox over my first cup of coffee, or answering questions for a newer coworker, it’s all very likely to not show up in the “official” time because it happens, and then we forget about it.

    Do you know how much time your people work without considering it time worth tracking? Do you know how much those little interruptions add to the overall stress levels?

    Do You Know Any Know-It-Alls?

    Sarah Anderson lays out one area where being a “know-it-all” is actually pretty dangerous. Unfortunately, many cybersecurity professionals either refuse or fail to accept the basic premise that he/she does not and cannot know everything.

    Linked – The danger of ‘I already pay for Apple News+’

    There’s lots more in the full article, but this does seem to sum up the problem for publishers. ““Why subscribe to that publisher? I already pay for Apple News+” should be the question haunting journalists’ nightmares. For readers, $10 per month all-you-can-eat from 300-plus publishers sounds like a great deal today. But it could accelerate…

  • Australia Close to Becoming the Next to Recognize a “Right to Disconnect”

    Will it benefit employee’s mental health? Based on what we’ve seen in other countries, it’s undetermined. The language is often vague, and there are exceptions for emergencies, which there should be. But that opens up loopholes in who gets to define “emergency.” (I have worked with lawyers for years; their definition of emergency might be anything that prevents them from billing time right this very second.)
