#Corporate America, by and large - rewards presentations and talking about doing work. Doing the #work day in and day out is rarely rewarded. It's essentially a popularity contest cranked up to 11. If you’re someone who enjoys doing the work, don’t expect to climb the ladder.

Android people in my network? Is there a universal / generic equivalent of Medical ID like iPhone has from lock screen on *all* Android phones?

Considering asking my engineering team to make sure it’s setup up in case anyone ever gets injured whilst on site or knocked unconscious etc
