If you think you’re having a bad day at work, at least you’re not Harry Cole or James Heale, who wrote a book about Liz Truss’ rise to power that is not due to be released for 6 more weeks.

I’ve started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early.
When you join early, everyone’s virtual note takers join early too.
I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I’m on the Titanic, we’ve just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance.
I then do the rest of the meeting normally.
When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the AI summary is:
“Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates”

A huge number of tech companies are going through hiring freezes.
The really unfair part of this is that most of these companies don't take the jobs off their careers site when they do this.
Giant waste of time when a candidate gets excited about a job + spends time applying when it's not really available.
Employers: if you're in a freeze, take the jobs off your site.

Yusuf Dikec, who recently took up shooting after a heated argument on LinkedIn, credits his success to his newfound passion for “seeing really dumb - I mean just blatant lies - go viral on LinkedIn.”
“I never thought I'd be here,“ Yusuf said, shrugging nonchalantly. “I was just blowing off steam that my coworker Becca can just make things up about her kids and it gets 34,000 likes on LinkedIn. Like - no - I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you that your 6 year old helped you better align stakeholders and close a $7M deal.”
The 52-year-old, who works as a mechanic in a small garage in Istanbul, first picked up a gun during a particularly frustrating debate over in-person versus remote work.
His unorthodox approach – no specialty gear, no training regimen, and a wardrobe consisting of his everyday jeans and a T-shirt – has baffled professional shooters. “He just shows up, shoots a near perfect round, and then asks if there's a smoking area nearby.“
