Linked – Snapchat’s New Year’s Eve party, featuring Drake, can’t be found on Snapchat

This is an interesting move for any company, but especially so for a social media company:

The reason, according to Daily Beast reporter Taylor Lorenz, is that Snap put a digital cone of silence over the Microsoft Theater, blocking public snaps from the area, and told its employees not to post to social media from the party—on Snapchat or otherwise.

Nothing says that you trust your employees and have nothing to hide from the public like a social media embargo on your holiday party. For SnapChat to do it, is pretty hypocritical, isn’t it? The whole point of a social network is to get people to share, and keep sharing. But not us, oh no.  😉

    Linked: Three-quarters of employees’ careers impacted by mental health, report finds

    I think a little anxiety and anger are appropriate now. Being distracted from your work should actually be a pretty normal reaction to what is going on in the world. Just replace your own national politics for the UK in that survey and can you really say that something hasn’t prevented you from being your best at work during the last couple of years? I’m in the US, I think it’s crazy that there are people going about their work as if nothing is happening, but I also know that is the corporate culture for many of us as well. For the hours you are “at” work, that’s our time. Spend your own time worrying about the world, grieving for lost loved ones, caring for your family, or your own needs, etc.

    This is wrong on so many levels. Your people are not hours of labor on a spreadsheet, they are human beings, and human beings should absolutely be affected by what is going on in the world. Expecting them not to be during work hours tells me a lot more about the management team than it does about the workforce.

    It surely doesn’t say anything good about the management team either.

    Linked: 4 Ways to Uplift Men in Employee Mental Health Programs

    There are 4 suggestions in the article below, and I encourage you to check them out and apply them in your workplace, toward everyone, but there’s something just so stereotypical that you can see a direct correlation between employee assistance programs and the number of women who work there. That tells me that we still, in 2021, expect men to just suck it up and not need help.

    That attitude is damaging, and in some cases killing, men as we speak. The same ones we work with everyday. Don’t we owe them more?
