  1. Had a company outing to Andernach today to see the world’s largest cold-water geyser.

    Quite the tourist trap. 😬 But the fresh “Federweißer“ was delicious. 🤤

    “Hi, everyone!” she began, a twenty-something in a pink cardigan sitting two tables from me. She looked at her laptop screen intensely, smiling and alert.

    Everyone with a post-pandemic office job knows this means a video meeting is about to start. I had quite looked forward to enjoying my salad in silence, but I guess this is the risk you take every time you leave the apartment! At least it was better than the time a guy had taken off his shoes at a café, resting his sweaty feet on a chair, all to the delight of the neighbouring tables’ lunching guests.

    The girl went on to describe in detail a work event she was organising. Everyone in the café now knew its time, place, and even the companies attending (including a very large bank.) She gave the full names of some people who’d cancelled, and mentioned 12 had signed up, but their goal was 30. They could still do it, she said with a smile.

    Just as I thought the call was about to end, she mentioned feedback. Her on-call audience wanted to know more, and so did we reluctant eavesdroppers!

    Their last event’s feedback had mostly been negative. One person hadn’t understood that they were meant to dress up for dinner, so this time, she’d spelled it out on the invitation. She rolled her eyes and laughed, nodding at whatever her coworkers were commenting. Other complaints had involved the restaurant being too loud and someone not liking the hotel.

    After finishing her call, she was still smiling. She took out her mobile phone and started scrolling.

    End of story! Although, it does remind me of a post I saw somewhere, saying why don’t we dress for the occasion anymore, as a form of respect? What these two instances have in common is the respect part. Take into consideration the people around you, as well as the people who trust you to keep their information private. You wouldn’t want it to end up online!

    Last, but not least, some photos from Helsinki last month.

  7. I’ve always been dramatic, darling.
    But after this latest performance, in a meeting among three people who have worked together for over fifteen years, there’s an awkward silence. If I hadn’t been the one speaking, I’d be quiet right now too, wondering if someone unhinged had finally snapped.

  8. Zwei Wochen Urlaub. 🌴
    Heute erster Arbeitstag. 🫠

    Man kommt zurück, freut sich ein bisschen darauf, wieder auf dem Laufenden zu sein und wird von knapp 350 E-Mails im Posteingang begrüßt. 📬

    Die Urlaubsvertretung hat… sagen wir mal: Luft nach oben gelassen.

    Bis zum Abend waren es immerhin „nur noch“ etwas über 200. 🙃

    Und nein, kein Happy End.
    Nur dieses leere Gefühl, nach einem langen Tag.

    Urlaub vorbei. Energie auch.
    Morgen geht’s weiter. 😶‍🌫️

  9. Your work gets diluted and re-labeled by management. Value out, money down. So what's the only real counter to that? Your honest name + real proof. That means your personal brand should’ve existed yesterday. Not influencers in stories. Just reputation that follows YOU. Thoughts? 👇 #PersonalBrand #WorkLife #AI #Reputation

  10. And todays musical work ramblings are Scott Joplin old time rag..

  12. Ah yes, the groundbreaking #revelation that not everyone needs to work 🤯. Who knew that #economics wasn't just about turning humans into 24/7 #productivity robots? Next week: why not everyone needs to breathe air to survive 🌬️.

  14. You might work for a toxic company if: you're battling insomnia and their response is a Performance Improvement Plan.

    Not a check in. Not "hey, are you doing okay?" People go through things. Sleep, health, family, all of it. A decent company notices and gives you a little room. A toxic one sees a dip in output and reaches for the folder.

    How a company treats you on your worst week tells you everything about whether it's a good one.

  15. You might work for a toxic company if leadership pushes out 11 press releases in 12 weeks and calls it momentum.

    The people doing the work have another word for it. It usually shows up around week nine, somewhere between the late nights and the quiet updating of resumes.

    Volume is not a strategy. Grinding down your team to hit a release cadence nobody outside the building even noticed is not a win.

    Momentum you can't sustain is just a countdown.

  16. My heart is so sad this morning.

    I woke up to a text from my asst mgr at work that she has been transferred.

    Ok.. Im an older guy and shes in her early 20s. We have this dad/friend relationship. Nothing we cant talk about, nothing I wouldnt do for her. She holds a special place in my heart and now shes gone.

    Yes, the world will go on..
    Just.. sad.

  18. One of the hardest and exhausting things for me having ADHD is getting back up to speed and in the daily routine again after vacation.

    Don’t know if it’s the same for non-ADHD ppl.
