Happy Sunday to everyone!
Today I aim to spend less time on the computer in anticipation of a busy workweek ahead. In recent days, BSD Cafe has welcomed new members – feel at home with our community!
I will soon announce (likely tomorrow) a new service for BSD Cafe that I've teased briefly in some posts.
Looking forward to planning the next offering; I have a vision and just need to figure out how to bring it to life!
Priced out of America
Kelli María Korducki Apr 17, 2024
Why more and more Americans are deciding that the only way to get ahead is to leave. Americans are discovering that their income can stretch much further in other countries, allowing them to save, pay down debts, and get ahead.
"...Retirement wasn't even on our radar when we were still in the US," Stonestreet told me. "We just assumed we'd work till we dropped. But life is short. Tomorrow's not guaranteed."
Work:
Me: we won't be able to get this completed today. We'll finish off when you get back from hols.
Colleague: No, it's fine. I'll can pop into the office tomorrow and we can do [task that needs the two of us] it then. I'm on leave, but I'm staying local so I'll come in and we can do it.
Me: I'm not going to interrupt your down time. That's not right.
THE ORGANISATION DOES NOT OWN YOU. YOU OWE THEM NOTHING.
For more than eight decades, the rhythm of a 40-hour workweek has been a (mostly) common experience for workers of all stripes across America. But Sen. Bernie Sanders this week introduced a bill that would shorten the workweek to 32 hours — with the same pay and benefits. Would the reduction in hours threaten small businesses or be a boon to workers? If you're outside the U.S., what is the workweek like where you live? Read about the bill in this report from AP and share your thoughts in the comments: https://flip.it/7eMhc3# #Culture#Work#Workers#Career#WorkLifeBalance
"I always ensured the manager I was with didn’t know I was a dad. I can’t say three times a week, 'Guys, I have to leave at 4 p.m.,' and then say, 'I have too much work. ' Unfortunately, that is complicated, I couldn’t afford to say that.
My research unpacks how workplace culture shapes the experiences of fatherhood, highlighting the need for more supportive and inclusive environments for working dads. #Fatherhood#WorkLifeBalance#ParentingChallenges
This is your periodic reminder that social media is a very narrow view of life.
What spawned this reminder: while I continue to do and talk about cool and very photogenic things (I work with animals after all, see photo...), this academic year has been a wild ride in my personal life. I’ve had to switch from 6th gear to 3rd to make sure I’m doing the things I’m doing well, rather than trying everything but not finishing anything. 1/5
Bei mir ist nicht die #WorkLifeBalance aus dem Ruder sondern die #ScheisseGlitzerBalance. Auf der Welt passiert gerade zu viel Scheiße und zu wenig Glitzer.
