Social Media, For Good Or For Evil?
This week were looking at the good and evil dichotomy of Social Media advertising, featuring Kim K, of course, the obsolete suit and tie dress code and the brave new world of advertising while facing an economic AND environmental crisis. Fun!
Let’s get into it.
Meaningful Work & Robot Servants
This week there’s a lot of juicy HR news going on, including the rising importance of meaningful work, Virgin Airlines allowing men to wear skirts and ladies to wear trousers, and Tim Cook keeping four women in his pocket (we assume.)
Tech news of course getting in on the action with the danger of voice activated robot servants and some more, depressing as ever, Metaverse news.
Let’s get into it.
Environmental Mic Drop
There is a lot going on this week. The CEO of Patagonia made everyone look like liars and losers, Center Parcs made an absolute howler of a mistake navigating the tricky circumstances of responding to the Queens funeral as a brand, and your work may be more like a cult than you could ever have imagined.
Let’s get into it.
Pay Gap Problems
This weeks tech news has brought up an unfortunately ever-present issue in the workplace, the gender pay gap, which extends to all minorities in the workplace, be it people of colour, members of the LGBTQ community, and even parents.
Is being a minority in the workplace better or worse since Covid changed the way we work? Will the gap ever close? And what do hackers have to do with it?
Quiet Quitting
We’ve talked about the Great Resignation™, we’ve talked about coasting, make way for a new buzz term in the workplace world – Quiet Quitting™.
After taking off on Tik Tok as a hack for quitting while still getting a paycheck, a closer look shows us it doesn’t REALLY mean that at all.
Long Term vs. Short Term Marketing
Struggle to get your noggin around long-term and short-term marketing? Don't worry, us too (sometimes.)
Which is the better tactic? Are they actually different? Can you do both at once?
