I'm often asked if I'm Irish. Still wondering why, but I've stopped being surprised about it.
Except today, it was an Irish person asking.

Have you considered that my Gmail account stays with me longer than any company email?
- Or that I ignore anything in my company inbox that isn't essential to the work I do for the company?

Fascism works by identifying an out-group (Jews, blacks, Muslims, trans, gays, gypsies, migrants, refugees, disabled - it doesn't matter) and then blaming them for everything. That justifies sanctions against the out-group, and then against others.
Don't be a fascist.

How many people does it take to get your delivery from an Amazon locker??
Well, there's me. Not tall enough.
Another lady. Also not tall enough.
Third lady. Same.
Then one with an umbrella.
The winners: A duo, one on the shoulders of the other!
Thanks for the help, kind and creative strangers!

I just saw a post on a different platform on how internal communications can't make your workplace any better. So true!
It's all about what actually happens, not what is communicated about what the company wants to (believe they) do.

Nothing wrong with a phone queue.
But don't let me wait 20+ minutes for your systems to just disconnect the call!

London too.
Bigger fish to fry though, here cycling is ALWAYS dangerous.
I miss cycling - not for sport or fun, but for safe and reliable transportation!

Absolute fantasy dream scenario would be Oslo having something like this.
People in their 2 tonne BMW EV can learn to cope with a few cm of snow (and drive more slowly and carefully)

If the platform is open now, what are the invite codes for?
Are they there solely because they haven't been taken out yet, or is it still easier to join with a code?

Today is a writing day, so naturally I am procrastinating with true verve. Have nipped out for yoga, then popped into a coffee shop, and now I'm obsessively researching SAD lamps, despite knowing I will just buy the cheapest one from a brand name I vaguely recognise.

I've seen a lot of "don't invite just anyone" on this platform. Often from the same people who talk about inclusion.
I understand the urge to close the circle, but what's the right balance between safeguarding and cliquey behaviour?
Imho we need an open platform with sound moderation.

So we're officially open!
I did invite myself a while back but couldn't come up with a clever first post at the time. Still can't. Thanks to those who followed me anyway! :)
Hoping to miss out on the trolls of elsewhere and instead see lots of constructive discussions, inspiration, and kindness!
