In reply to Put the Blame on Edamame. A lot of this reputation comes from this scenario: Medium-sized company, HR department of 3-4, no trainer role. A new mandate arrives, for whatever reason – legal/regulatory, insurance-driven, new corporate policy. Head of HR says “Well, I guess we have to put a training program together and run everybody through it.” And of course there’s no budget to accompany the mandate.

Telephobia: Gen Z’s Newest Anxiety in the Workplace

Success

For many early-career professionals, the sound of a ringing phone sparks more dread than urgency. Faced with the unexpected pressure of a live conversation, some freeze, let the call go to voicemail or scramble to respond by text instead. As Gen Z enters the workforce, a quiet but consequential shift is taking place: More young employees are avoiding phone calls altogether—and it’s starting to affect the workplace.

In reply to Chaordic One. Call who you want to donate to and see if they take damaged and stained clothing. my understanding is that many places sell them to rag makers by the pound. The podcast I heard this on was a leader of a goodwill store being interviewed. They did say each regional goodwill store is managed separately and might have different rules.

Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

In reply to DisneyChannelThis. +1, this is a good approach. I also dislike the question and am often tempted to ask for clarification, i.e., “That’s a pretty broad question, could you tell me more about what work contexts you had in mind or specifics of what you’re looking to understand?” Most of the time they don’t have a good response.

In reply to Jackalope. I’m a semi-professional DM, running games both at work and at a friendly local game store, but I’ve really been wanting to start a home game. If only I could find players… As far as video games go, I’ve started playing Pentiment after getting it on sale! It’s a sort of point and click adventure/mystery game set in the 16th century and all animated in the style of a medieval manuscript.

In reply to Red Reader the Adulting Fairy. You do have to have your blower fan running constantly to really get any benefit out of it, which can be a problem in an older or poorly maintained system. But a newer system (say within the last 10-15 years) is, I’m told by the maintenance guy, actually better off if you run the fan constantly, because the strain on the fan mechanism comes in starting and stopping it.

No Kings Day: Celebration, resistance, and tragedy

Minding the Workplace

Headline from bostonglobe.com During the mid-to-late 1700s, Massachusetts would become a hotbed of activism and resistance toward the British Crown. It is, among other things, the site of the Boston Tea Party, when in 1773, colonists protested taxation without representation by marching over to the Boston Harbor, then boarded British merchant ships and tossed hundreds of chests of tea into the water.

Automation, Evolved: Your New Playbook for Smarter Knowledge Work

Speaker: Frank Taliano

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.

I actually leave them off all the time now, and in the house, in a drawer, unless I have specific plans to use them. This isn’t true of all debit cards, but the bank in question said that if my card was blocked, and the physical card was put away, nobody should be able to gain access to my account.

In my current region they are usually income-based rentals, in my previous region they were usually individually owned but ruled by an HOA. Both regions I’ve been in differentiate between condos and apartments.
