mandated return to office programmes suck (and we now have a study to prove it)

Liked We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought by Gleb Tsipursky (Fortune)

Meanwhile, a staggering 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules, according to the Greenhouse report. Moreover, employees from historically underrepresented groups are 22% more likely to consider other options if flexibility comes to an end.

In today’s « research shows what everyone knows, but it’s nice to read it from a serious source », people don’t want to be forced back into offices, especially since we’re fully aware that it’s completely useless.

Liked Why I Blog? by

Pablo Morales (lifeofpablo.com)

I blog because I want to share my thoughts, which seems pretty obvious. The real reason I write is to find the person I’ve always wanted to become. For many years, I lost control of who I was. All that ambition, all those goals were pushed back. Truly, I want to learn how I can become more expressive with myself. I want to reconnect with myself. Blogging is only one piece of putting me back together.

choosing a hybrid publisher

Liked Writer’s Workshop: 3 Reasons I Chose a Hybrid Publisher (K E Garland)

First things first. It’s good. I almost feel like it’s too good for me to publish. Like you could get an agent, and do a proposal, and go traditional. Honestly, I’m happy to suppo…

Interesting thoughts about choosing a publisher that’s somewhere between an indie press and a vanity publisher.

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

and you’re not alone in this exact state of mind! (minor spoilers for season 3 of The Wire)
