There are many large and #serious#problems in the world. Many people are victimized by the #system in a thousand different ways. This is not their story; it is not about their problems, but this should not be seen as minimizing them.
I'd like to talk about something a little closer to home: #employee#abuse in the #tech field. I've been in this field for <mumble> years and worked for tiny companies, medium consulting companies, large orgs, and as a one-man independent contractor.
#Tip for managers holding these "optional" sessions: if more than half of your employees are attending the optional #training, or if #attendance is heavily skewed in favour of #younger and/or more #junior employees, then from their point of view, it isn't optional.
Managers who don't see this are also the type who have "open-door" #policies, but who report very few employees coming to them with problems and questions, from which they derive the #conclusion that everything is hunky-dory.
This week I raised 656$! I’m this close to 1000$. If I raise that much and more I will do a cycling marathon of 140km at the end of the month.

Every year, hundreds of #greyhounds in #WestVirginia suffer from painful broken bones, dislocations, and muscle injuries as they are forced to race for people’s “ #entertainment .”
The state’s two tracks are the only places left in the country where the cruel #racing is allowed — and 666 greyhounds paid for it in 2021 alone,
No dog deserves to suffer and die for people’s #entertainment. This bill must pass – and legislators also must make sure to include provisions for the retired racers to find loving, #ForeverHomes.

Anybody got a recommendation for a cheap #heartRateMeter chest strap that is compatible with the #Polar H9 and available in the #EU?
Bigger shops show products that claim compatibility with multiple models from the same manufacturers that are incompatible with each other, or don’t mention models at all. 🤦♂️
Original lasted less than three months, got a better model as warranty replacement by the merchant that I didn’t use a lot and died out of warranty now.
Great for a rainy day. My interview with Tony Holmes from Pluralsight gives some good ideas about how to recruit and retain employees even when they are difficult to find. I've talked to enough organizations, and worked in this area myself enough to know that these ideas aren't theoretical - they work.
Well our little #maltipoo came home with us tonight. Fairly easy introduction to our house, we just let her explore the living room this evening. She seems to like chasing my hand so I might see if I can incorporate that into her training when we get there. But I don't want to overwhelm her. So tomorrow will be all about teaching her her name. #Dogs#DogsOfMastodon#Training
my #android buddy Bart malfunctioned during a sprint #training session, but his diagnostics couldn't determine the issue, so he called me and we tried to work through the issue. we got him booted into safe mode so he could make it home, then I proceeded to replace his motor function chip and he was good like new!

I find myself posting more often on LinkedIn after the #Twitter crackdown. Especially for longer posts, it is useful. I know, LinkedIn is a centralized company as Twitter is (was?). However it's hard to rewrite some posts to shorter versions. At least for me.
If you want to connect there too - just hit the "connect" button.
Just a guess, but perhaps because Canada doesn't have any F-16s, which is the plane other #NATO members are giving to Ukraine. We've never had -16s, so we wouldn't have a #training#program for them.
