If institutions care about burnout they can change their organizational culture.

If they don’t, they can stop wasting their employees’ time with pointless empty performance of helpfulness and care.

Dear workplaces:

Please consider the message it sends when you schedule an extra bonus one-hour event that will take us away from doing our actual work…

…to have someone tell us what we can do as individuals to be less exhausted, stressed, and burned out.

Because I don’t think you can both genuinely care and have thought this out very carefully. And it seems like possibly neither one of those things applies here.

I recently had surgery and since I've come back to work I've been noticing how inaccessible a lot of our staff areas are in collections, it's really something. The public areas are much better. I wonder how common this is in other repositories; do we assume that people with physical disabilities just won't work here? (I think so, especially in archives specifically.)

Some veritcally arrange macro shots of varying provenance. As usual, I have absolutely zero scientific information to add. I'm a photographer not a horticulturist.

it's actually free (and extremely sexy) to tell capitalists (and their wannabe shills) to fuck right off

if a capitalist is selling you on some shiny new thing, it should invariably be regarded with suspicion if not outright hostility

in the great, great majority of cases, technology that's being pushed on us makes our lives demonstrably worse, not better; interesting technical innovation comes from solving problems from below, not enforcing so-called 'solutions' from above

seriously tired of having technology we don't need/want forced on us by capitalists

@same "this protects you from really nasty shit. anyways we disabled it"

Today I learned there’s a term for the reductionist thinking where management looks at a graph as the thing, instead of the underlying things the graph represents, and makes decisions based on that. It’s called surrogation, and it can cause companies to fail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogation

if only we bullied tankies off the fediverse as hard as we did to corpos tbh
