See, the key is to be absolutely gagging for the attention, most people will be like, “oh, ew, ok?” And then periodically log off for years at a time. Keeps the numbers lean and agile.

AI is tiresome but losing senses of self/mutual respect and mattering is longer term.
Rebuilding dignity from personal to communal as response. Sharing a way of doing that thru seriousness and asking.

PRODUKTIVITÄT Gelassenheit | Oft bemüht, selten wirklich gelebt? Ich habe am Wochenende eine sehr gute Podcastfolge zum Thema Gelassenheit angehört. Ein Thema, das mir sehr am Herzen liegt. Auch oder gerade, weil es mir in jüngerer Zeit an der Gelassenheit fehlt, die ich so sehr an den Stoikern und anderen Denkern wertschätze. Gelassenheit ist nicht Ignoranz, wie mancher einwenden mag. Und auch schon zweimal keine Emotionslosigkeit, sondern die Fähigkeit, sich selbst so zu beherrschen, dass die Reflexions- und Denkfähigkeit in einer spannungsgeladenen Situation erhalten bleibt.

The more that big companies axe staff, the closer we get to a recession
It's not just NAB that is slashing its staff numbers, as large businesses look for ways to become "more agile" during lean times. But could this turbo-charge the path to recession?
