I had several people in my team thank me today for being so chill when everyone was stressing out. Didn’t really want to tell them the reason I’m so chill is that I just don’t give a fuck .

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

Happy Monday friends.

Im on a course this week with work. Should be interesting though we will see.

Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

My name is Rose LaCroix. I am a published author from the USA currently in Leverkusen Germany. If you have work for a native English speaker anywhere in the EU, I am available immediately.

I would be excellent as a proofreader for manuscripts, articles, or academic papers in English.

I could also proofread legal documents, assist English teachers, and much more.

I have a BA in social science from Portland State University and a German certificate of equivalency.

"Nothing had really happened, but my anxiety aroused in me wild imaginings, and neither my knowledge nor my clinical experience could dispel them."

Have you tipped your content moderators lately?

No? ... No.

That's because there is no way to tip these people, who are seeing the worst of the worst so that you don't have to, working long hours with very few breaks for below-living wages. While doing this, they have to deal with a management structure that is so disconnected from what they do that you'd never believe it if you saw it on a TV show.

An event just happened at #work, eerily similar to what got me fired from #WMU. But this time, I’m not the focus of it. I’m a bystander! It’ll end much better. #today

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion about bridging the talent gap in Sweden, which focused on employment issues for university students. This week, I am organizing a panel myself on AI: risks and opportunities for entrepreneurs. I don't know how, but I managed to invite some really great speakers. It's going to be a heated discussion!

"What’s new, at least to the recent pandemic age of hybrid working, is the extent to which workers can now be tracked inside office buildings. Cracked Labs published a frankly terrifying 25-page case study report in November 2024 showing how systems of wireless networking, motion sensors, and Bluetooth beacons, whether intentionally or as a byproduct of their capabilities, can provide “behavioral monitoring and profiling” in office settings.

The project breaks the tech down into two categories: The first is technology that tracks desk presence and room occupancy, and the second monitors the indoor location, movement, and behavior of the people working inside the building."
