Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Some career news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the company’s workforce.

But this time, alone.

The reason many bosses don’t like employees working from home has little to do with productivity and more to do with the fact they hate working from home.

A lot of trappings of power from corner offices to large staff meetings are lost when they WFH.

"Being loud about it because I've lost yet *another* person this week.

Blizzard is losing amazing talent because someone in power doesn't listen to the game directors who make his products. DE&I also means diversity of thought, especially when it's backed by data and financials."
