Linked – Here’s how to celebrate World Mental Health Day 2024
I’m sure there are some CEOs out there who read that and think we’re supposed to be drained and used up. That just shows how dedicated we are to our work. That ignores the fact that work is only part of our lives. They ignore the damage that does to society when we have adults who are uninvolved with their kids’ lives, disconnected from their community, uninformed about what is happening in the world, and lacking many meaningful friendships because work requires them to have nothing left to give to those endeavors.
That’s why having a workplace that accounts for those impacts on employees’ lives is so important.

Linked – Vast Majority of CEOs Ready to Make Remote Workers’ Lives As Miserable As Possible
Remote workforces require CEOs to develop measurements to tell who is getting work done and who isn’t. Apparently, for 89% of them, that’s too hard.
Reminder: They get paid, on average, 344 times the average worker but can’t be bothered to measure productivity meaningfully.
So, to the 11% who are not planning on this behavior, I hope you find the best talent on the market because you are not limited by who can be in the office and run circles around these dinosaurs.

My new browser of choice – ARC
Simply put, I can’t log in and out of accounts all day, and I also don’t want to deal with my computer running out of memory. I spent many years walking that thin line. So, I was intrigued when I saw someone talking about a new browser they were using that was easy to use with multiple profiles and optimized for memory usage. I was skeptical but intrigued enough to give it a try.
That browser was Arc for Mac.
