  • A Mixed Set of Results on Workplace Mental Health

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    My take away from reading about a recent APA survey, is that there’s good news, and bad news. First, the good news I found in the article: Roughly half of American workers say they are comfortable talking about their mental health in the workplace  Younger workers are much more likely to feel they can discuss…

  • Linked – Return to Office, Return to Sexual Harassment?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The article offers some suggestions on educating your employees about harassment and what you should be doing with programs, but I want to get brutally honest here. 

    What workplace hasn’t already held a sexual harassment seminar? Is it making any difference? Not when you tell me that remote work was the most effective way to lower incidences of harassment. Essentially, keeping people away from each other was the only way we found to significantly dent the overall statistics. 

    Want to know what would make a dent? Fire people. On the spot. Publicly. The first time it happens. 

  • Linked – Not All Revolutionary or Garbage: A Moderate Take on AI

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Generative AI is already creating positive change and will continue to do so. It is also making very negative changes as well, with deepfake porn, fake video and audio, scams and disinformation proliferation, etc. 

    I believe it will change our world, but not in the way AI founders think it will or promise that it will. It will also hurt a lot of people along the way. History will have to decide if it was worth it.

    Just when I spent last night thinking that my site traffic had slowed down somewhat since the outage this weekend, Chris mentions me in Today’s Lockergnome along with seven other blogs that he visits but which aren’t well known. (And are very good by the way!) Thanks Chris, and thanks for stopping by all you…

  • Please Don’t Take Chances with Stalkerware

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Let me repeat what I’ve said before. If you are in an abusive situation and your partner has had access to your phone, leave it behind. If you suspect any of your devices had these tools installed, do not take any chances with them. Yes, getting a new phone and changing all of your passwords will be a pain in the ass. It will suck to set up a new email and change the default email address for all of your online accounts.

    It still beats getting tracked down by a violent ex-partner. Do not make light of this. This is life and death stuff. Trying to remove stalker ware incorrectly might kill people. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. Don’t take the chance.
