In the 2018 comedy Tag , a group of childhood friends maintains an offbeat line of connection over 30 years of friendship: the same game of tag, played through weddings, boardrooms, and hospital visits. It’s absurd and touching all at once. But the line that echoes throughout the film is where the real wisdom lies: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind.

In the world of human resources (HR), certain terms are thrown around casually and used interchangeably. Prominent examples of such terms include HR operations and HR administration. These two terms are closely related and often overlap, but don’t mean precisely the same thing. Yet, you know they’re both vital to your company running smoothly and meeting its business goals – to say nothing of staying out of legal trouble and achieving your organization’s people strategy.

The most frequently used word to describe the last few months is “uncertainty.” Our heads have been spinning as we get word almost daily of major policy shifts, market turmoil, new advances in AI, and on and on. Many leaders are feeling a little lost in the wilderness as they navigate the rough terrain. As you ruminate on these heady problems and how to move forward, how you respond to uncertainty is as important as what you do.

Most of the time, stress is a part of work that may be annoying, but isn’t debilitating. As I have written about many times, stress is just the emotion you experience when you are focused on avoiding some threat or calamity in your environment. Ideally the stress you experience gives you a boost of energy to tackle difficult problems at work. Sometimes, though, stress causes more problems than it solves.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

No good solutions here, just an observation that you can mostly tell who in the comments has direct experience with the dynamics of federal agencies + contractors and who doesn’t. Unfortunately things that normally work outside of that dynamic do not often work in it (and vice versa). At my agency, the contractors had to figure things out or quit/be fired, there was no scenario in which a pushback would have been successful.

I get that it’s unfair for the commute to change dramatically, but that does happen.
