"Benchmarking" is often missing from performance or growth conversations in the workplace

And when we leave that out, a growth mindset approach can come across like gaslighting or moving goalposts: like Mario, we reach the end of a level only to be told that the princess is in another castle.

I really need to write something about why having mega instances on the fediverse is a problem that’s longer than a toot.

Probably a good time for a post on the subject given I now have about the same number of people following me here as I did when I closed my Twitter account.

(It took close to eight years to get there.)

Oppression is a thing most of us take part in accidentally.

See if you can spot yourself in my article on shutting others down (link below).

If so, note which ones & you get the self-awareness badge-of-honour! 😊 🍾
