The afternoon is drawing to a close, and it’s time to call it a day! ☕️
In a connected (and often remote) work environment, the lines are unfortunately becoming increasingly blurred. As a union representative, the “right to be unreachable” is incredibly important to me.
I’d be curious to know: How strict are you about this? Do you ruthlessly mute Slack, Teams, and emails after work? Or do you catch yourself quickly checking “just one message” in the evening? 📱🛑

I think the AI stock crash is nearing as reports about its limits start to puncture speculative hype.

Big Tech is burning $660BN on AI capex this year, outpacing cash flows. Amazon & Meta are borrowing billions to build data centers for "Agentic AI" that hasn't proven ROI. It’s a massive debt-fueled gamble. If the AI bubble pops, the market crash will be legendary. #AI #TechBubble #Finance
