10:14 M 80% Niall Ratcliffe in ⚫ 3rd+ + Follow Helping B2B Service Providers ... 1h 0 It's not "crazy" to work on a bank holiday. Today, I'll spend the day: - Getting ahead on work. - Catching up on last week. - Focusing on some deeper work. While the rest of the team enjoys some much-needed time off. Yet most people will call me an idiot for working. They'll say: - "You're going to burn out." "You can't keep it up." "It's not healthy." But what happened to promoting working hard? Our grandparents literally: - Worked in coal minds. - Grafted for 12+ hour shifts. -Had much tougher lives than us. Yet I can't tap a few keys behind a laptop on a bank hol222 much-needed time off. Yet most people will call me an idiot for working. They'll say: - "You're going to burn out." - "You can't keep it up." - "It's not healthy." But what happened to promoting working hard? Our grandparents literally: - Worked in coal minds. - Grafted for 12+ hour shifts. - Had much tougher lives than us. Yet I can't tap a few keys behind a laptop on a bank hol??? I'm all for promoting a work-life balance. But it's time we stopped degrading people who want to work hard. And if you're working this bank hol... Don't be ashamed, be proud of yourself. Very few people want to work hard nowadays.

No one wants to work... on holiday

Joseph Jewell • 2nd + Follow Recruiter that Codes 5d. Pro tip: Thank you notes are a thing of the past. You can't send a thank you note and expect it to change the outcome of an interview. If you want to set yourself apart in this market, you have to do more than that. If you want to truly stand out, truly be unforgettable... send a ransom note. Make sure it's hand written(by the person you have temporarily acquired possession of) and have it delivered via certified mail, requiring a signature. Boom, immediate feedback.

Coltin Caverhill • 3rd+ Engineering Manager at Yelp 4d. • + Follow Managers, be very careful what you say to your engineers! I commented in a slack thread. It was a simple comment of "I wish we had feature X". I thought I was being fun. I thought it would get emoji responses and we would move on. The engineers solved it. Do you know how much we pay Software Engineers!? I did not mean for them to work on this thing and solve my issue. But they wanted to make things better, and if the manager points out an issue, they felt like it should be solved. This was not a big deal, and not a ton of time was spent, but it was a good reminder for me that I am not an engineer, I am a manager. And while that title is mostly meaningless to me, it means something to others. What I say magically holds more gravity not because of the merit of the statement, because of the title I hold. By not being mindful about what I share in our public channels, I led my team to spend time on the wrong thing. CO 2,345 297 comments • 52 reposts
OPENTOWORK Jason Roeder. 3rd+ Copywriter/Comedy Writer/Editor/... 1w. + Follow I immediately remove my shoes and socks upon entering any interview. Why do I do this? If they say nothing, I know they will not enforce even the most fundamental dress code. I cannot work in such chaos. If they tell me to put them back on, I know conformity reigns in this workplace, and my creativity will suffer. I cannot work there. If they tell me to put one sock and shoe on, I know they value balance and compromise. Only then will I work there.
