this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

This one is for my #engineering managers and senior devs: Want to drive change? Time your initiatives right. Pushing a major refactor during a tight feature sprint is like trying to change tires during a race. Context matters.

What happens if a company’s engineering team suddenly becomes a LOT more productive: more story points shipped, self-reported 20-50% productivity increases after using GenAI tools (that the company pays for.) No HC change. BUT Revenue stays FLAT despite all this What then?

Lukewarm take, but if you're "protecting your energy" by avoiding workplace relationships, you're actually making your job harder and your career trickier to navigate. Find your work tribe - they're the ones who'll have your back when things get tough (and they will get tough).

Here's a question for you. When reading an article in a newsletter: 1️⃣ Do you prefer to read it in your email in its entirety? 2️⃣ Do you prefer to visit the website and add it to your favourite "read it later" service? Do share!

Are they the personality hire, or do they understand the intricate web of workplace relationships and decision-making dynamics in ways that you subconsciously avoid doing? 🤪

I've been following the subtle demonisation of office friendships through the zeitgeist, and I'm left wondering. I'm not saying people should adore their jobs and be besties with all their colleagues, but chances are your most significant work won't be done in isolation.

How to Master Your Team's Performance Reviews Before Year-End · Luma

As I'm working on my #webinar next week, one thing is clear: Many #managers struggle with delivering performance reviews because they don't see feedback as a personal opinion. The performance review you wrote is not gospel; it should be the start of a conversation, not the end of it. #management

Nodding a ton at this. It's a delicate balance, giving feedback when you know something is on a failure trajectory - seeing this A LOT among developers.

Big oof! Gross generalisation here, but tech people often become obsessed with finding the perfect tech/tool to do their people work for them instead of actually doing the work. Which is expected, because the work is messy, and developers hate messy.

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have: - Good pay - Good culture - Good growth opportunities If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

I was wondering why my website's Templates page didn't generate much traffic. That's because the five (!) CTAs on my homepage weren't linked to them. Hire me; I have 20 years of experience working on the Web, I swear.
