A day of service?



Yes, there are great sales in the stores going on today, but rather than take, I think the example of giving today is good one. Pick up some trash; help a neighbor with their yard, etc.

Find something good, it could even become a habit, and have a wonderful day.

The truth about “black on black crime’ by Dr Flavius Akerele III

Truth: ·          Most crime happens between people familiar with each other. So, FYI, the so called “black on black crime’ is bullshit. If black people committed more crimes outside of their segregated zone they would be extinct.

Follow‑Up Post on Ghosting

Image
  Last week I wrote about the rise of what many professionals are calling “professional ghosting” in hiring, multiple interviews, presentations, executive panels… followed by silence. The conversation that followed surfaced another issue that deserves attention.  How does this trend affect experienced professionals later in their careers?  Many seasoned leaders quietly acknowledge a dynamic that rarely gets discussed openly. Not necessarily overt discrimination, but a series of assumptions that can subtly shape hiring decisions: • Concerns about salary expectations or benefit costs • Assumptions about adaptability to new technologies or systems • The perception that a highly experienced hire might disrupt existing leadership dynamics • The belief that someone with decades of experience may not stay long None of these assumptions are typically stated directly, b ut they often exist in the background of search committee discussions.
