We’re now in the find out stage of mandatory return to office.

Unispace found that nearly half (42%) of companies with return-to-office mandates witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated. And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment. In other words, employers knew the mandates would cause some attrition, but they weren’t ready for the serious problems that would result.

We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought

Three compelling reports show just how damaging RTO mandates are turning out to be.

Back when Windows 95 came out you could drag "The Internet" icon to the bin and it'd pop up a message that said "Are you sure you want to delete The Internet?" and we thought it was hilarious but in hindsight maybe one of us should have said "yes".

Sometimes improvisations make the cut. Famously, this line is said to have been improv. It’s a great line, and everyone was open enough to catch it and put it in the edit. Good ideas can come from anywhere, and no matter what was prepared, the good stuff is the good stuff. Want help preparing? Let me know and I can help you get ready. 🎥🎭

In my lifetime, we went from a president so squeaky clean that his opponents tried to make fist bumping his wife a scandal, to multiple Supreme Court justices mansplaining to us that just because they accept gifts from billionaires doesn’t make them corrupt.

Note for all for #media covering #uspol: If reporters are still referring to a hard-right operative/conspiracy theorist like RFK Jr. as a "Democrat" they are indirectly (or arguably directly) aiding & abetting Republican ratf*cking of Democratic primaries.

Worth passing this message on widely. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/rfk-kennedy-trump-maga-biden-2024-election-1234777035/

RFK Jr. Super PAC Has Ties to Marjorie Taylor Greene, George Santos

The Super PAC is just one example of the nominally Democratic candidate running a campaign that's awash in support from backers of Donald Trump

According to Russian Media, major changes to the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense including changes to the current Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu and Army Chief of General Staff, Valery Gerasimov have reportedly been agreed upon in order to stop the march of the Wagner PMC group towards the capital of Moscow; these negotiations have also reportedly included the assured “security of the Wagner Group.” @liveukraine_media

Are they really going to try to put the toothpaste back in the tube now? After Putin called it treason, Prigozhin's troops shot down multiple aircraft and the Russian gov ripped up roads approaching Moscow?

This is all so crazy.

So, look, okay, everyone's been gleefully talking about a Zuck/Musk cage match and it's not like my disdain for these people has been at all subtle, but - I am genuinely nauseated.

Both of them have the power to influence the course of human history on a global scale without any democratic legitimacy whatsoever, and so the idea that they're devoting their attention to this ... like, no kidding, it's not schadenfreude, I'm feeling, it's despair.

Russia says Wagner Group's leader will move to Belarus after his rebellious march challenged Putin

The Kremlin spokesman says the head of the private Russian military company Wagner owner will move to Belarus as part of deal to defuse rebellion tensions and the criminal case against him will be closed. After the deal was reached, Yevgeny Prigozhin said he was ordering his troops to halt their march on Moscow and retreat to field camps in Ukraine. The deal appeared to defuse a dramatically escalating crisis.

It's probably premature and possibly inaccurate to credit Lukashenko with averting a bloody disaster on the streets of Moscow today, but that it's even remotely what apparently happened is fucking incredible.
