Really interesting way to reframe the “toxic positivity” of social media. Humans are humans, we learn and grow from our failures. Otherwise we’d never find our way. Agree?

Are you using a Virtual Private Network (VPN)? If you're not, you should be! A Virtual Private Network creates a secure connection between your device and a computer network, when you're using a public wifi network (or even your AirBnB/hotel's network). https://lnkd.in/gFt6_ZCF #gapyear #digitalnomad #nomadedigital #travel #wfh #rto #returntooffice #backtooffice #returntowork #hybrid #hybridwork #workingmom #workingdad #workingparents

If you've survived the pandemic, the awful turmoil of the current job market and layoffs, give yourself a standing ovation. We cannot begin to touch on the devastating mental health effects and burnout that workers and the unemployed are experiencing. And these companies do not take any responsibility for it. There is going to be a tremendous backlash against employers when the market turns around. Just remember that YOU ARE WORTH IT and this means nothing about your talent or self-worth.

🚽 WHEN YOUR BOSS MANDATES A RTO FROM THE TOILET 🚽 From their own very special WFH throne location 😓 How many RTO Mandates instructions were sent remotely? Funny - not funny - not funny at all. Double standards abound in our new world, where those that are forcing employees back to urban offices are doing so from remote locations themselves. It is farcical It is so hypocritical It equals "do what I say, not what I do" It stinks of: one rule for me and a different one for everyone else It demonstrates a bias to fixed-office-locations, which could be linked to real-estate and urban centric interests and bias. 💪 Look for true Remote-First and flexible companies and opportunities 💪 Amplify the stories of those advocating for a better way of working, without a bias to concrete boxes, commuting and urban smog n fog 💪 Advocate everyday for fully remote work models and ways of operating, the old guard needs to change and get "flushed away" Who will join me? Who will stand loud and proud to shout "Work Is Not A Place" 💯 #WorkIsNotAPlace #RemoteFirst #RoRemote #RTOMandates #WFH #WFA PIC ID: Picture of a toilet with full wfh set up, chair and tech, with the words: WHEN YOUR BOSS MANDATEs THE RETURN TO OFFICE FROM THEIR WFH THRONE.

I am not commuting to an office ever again. 🔦 I did the commute for the first 8 years of my kids' lives. I missed pick-ups, events, tears, school plays, and skinned knees. 🤕🩹 I remember going to a work meeting just days after giving birth to my son through c-section. I remember deciding whether to get tubes in my infant son's ears because of the number of ear infections he got at daycare. I remember interviewing strangers to care for my young son once the decision was made to take him out of daycare to avoid ear surgery. I remember receiving a photo from my children's babysitter of my son's black eye from a fall that I wasn't there to prevent. I remember racing home from the office (60+ minute commute) after a call from my children's babysitter that she was accidentally locked in the bathroom and my toddler son was alone outside the door. I remember the babysitter sending me videos of my newly adopted daughter crying at the refrigerator door for food because she was deprived in foster care in her birth country, and I wasn't there to comfort her and help her through that moment. I remember my son banging on the glass storm door screaming "mama" as I pulled away every morning to work. I spent 30 years in corporate, most recently serving as COO. For so many years, I was a traditionalist who believed in following the rules, being subservient to business owners and CEOs, and doing what has always been done. Whatever your catalyst for change might be, mine occurred in 2019. 🌀 I understand company culture, the bottom line, and preserving/protecting a company's assets. I am fortunate to support a few organizations that EARN the 5 days in office they ask of their employees through security, flexibility, compassion, support, collaboration, and recognition. But MOST do not EARN those five days. But that doesn't mean that I'm not working my butt off every day to build a business to help people prepare for the future of work. And I hope this business becomes my legacy. I'm just doing it from home. I believe in innovation. I believe in the future. I believe in technology. I believe that companies will figure out how to hit their bottom-line goals and respect their employees' needs. I believe this is the future: Gen Z who prefer hybrid or remote: 84% Startups that are partially or fully remote: 58% Global companies that offer remote or hybrid work: 62% Silicon Valley based companies that are partially or fully remote: 70% Buckle up. The future is going to be a wild ride. 🚀🤘 ------- I am not a virtual work expert but I follow a few people who are.

In this Origin Story session, I speak with Adrian Piñon, a first-gen college grad who took the unlikely path of self-promotion by visiting tech company HQs around California with his message on a sign, garnering attention from CBS News, ABC and other outlets. By doing this, Adrian proved himself to be a master marketer. https://lnkd.in/eWPaR8fd #sat #satprep #act #actprep #gmat #gmatprep #gmatpreparation #lsat #opentowork #jobsearch #recruiting #recruiters #hiring #layoff #layoffs #laidoff #leadership #management #newgraduate #newgrad #graduation #graduation2024 #internships #scholarships #graduatejobs #layoffs2024 #layoffs #layoff #laidoff #metalayoffs #amazonlayoffs #linkedinlayoffs #resume #resumetips #interview #interviewtips #unemployed #funemployed #careercoaching #resumecoach Jesse Meza Jonathan S.
