Shame on you JP Morgan Chase banker

Shame on you Igor. There are so many people who work hard to pay off their debt.

Quiet Firing

I've seen a few articles circulate on Linkedin and other newsletters about toxic workplaces.

The frequency of these articles indicates toxic workplaces are still very much prevalent, despite the "enlightenment" of media pushes towards diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

This one is yet another with seven obvious signs of how an employee can be pushed out of a company.

It's also an obvious way a company can avoid negative press (whether it's someone's social media or a public media channel). And, a way to avoid having to deal with severance packages.

I've experienced this sadly at a few places. Most of the time it's because I took a job I was over-qualified for. Sometimes it's happened because my supervisor wasn't strong enough to back my good ideas when other managers dismissed or disregarded my work. There are times when a corporate culture can be too strong for even a supervisor to stand up to--thus being relegated to preserving his or her own position in the organization.

I work very hard to evolve and become more emotionally intelligent, and. yet I am still shocked when I see people who don't have healthy communication skills.

Then again, the results of the 2024 election has also shown me that there is a huge country of people who don't think like I do. 

Another Amazing Cohort of Leaders...

Tucson Metro Chamber announced an "Emerging Leaders Cohort" for 2025. <sceptical hat>How is this different than the GTL Cohorts, which are also churning out refined leaders each year? 

TMCC announced during it's State of the Region that economic development leaders and site selectors have found we have too many groups doing the same thing. 

Why would TMCC develop this program - or emphasize it - when they could continue in the "better together" consolidation of efforts to create a more robust program (less competition for funding, funding dollars going towards a stronger, joint program)?</sceptical hat>.
