Reminds me that the reasoning behind austerity came from an Excel calculation that didn't include all the relevant rows :~/

New comment by suttree in "Employees: looking for “the great boss who cares about their development”"

My approach to this is giving companies a place to start these kinds of discussions with people - https://www.somewhere.com/for-companies

Not people analytics or people ops, but a way to talk about how you think about and approach work.

Totally agree, the hard problem in all of this isn't people analytics or people ops, it's people. Dealing with them is hard because we're all so different.

New comment by suttree in "Here’s what £11.93 of Instagram ads gets you"

suttree — Sun, 27 Sep 2015 10:52:56 +0000

That's the feeling I'm getting as a result of this. I think it's great that Instagram took a long time before they launched this, and I'm not sure what tools people have in order to report, block and hide ads, but it's clear from this experience it's something the community wants.

New comment by suttree in "Happiness May Lie in Our Relationships"

Personally, there's no "may" in it. It's all about the people, and what you can do for them. Technology like the internet is just a distribution channel, a few to reach people who aren't nearby.

I could talk a lot about how we're different from LinkedIn, and how looking pretty as a website is a hindrance at times, but we're less about what you've done and more about how you do it.

For a lot of people things like job titles and descriptions are out of sync with what we do, and we don't really have any good tools to show or share our work. Developers have Github, designers have dribbble, but for everyone else there's not a good tool out there.

But, I hear you on the YASN problem, and we're not solely a social product as a result of that.

For actual careers advice from real people, not the looking-back-from-my-yacht type, try https://www.somewhere.com.

Yes, I'm the founder, but this is what we do best - asking questions about work and getting responses from people who are right there, right now, e.g.
