Curious how much these grieving families will actually receive?

As for Chiquita Corporate—- such a small price of doing business. Sad commentary for justice.

Followed by an artful downward social comparison, his life’s work is also a disaster.

Quite a hit job.

Unrelated, but when I first saw it as a kid I loved it. Then I saw it as an adult and my wife ruined it when she said that the enterprise was entering a sphincter.

Game over .

Worth calling them out,

I'm ethically and contractually bound not to disclose specific details around this work.

At a high-level I'm doing A)B) & C.

I imagine you expect the same standard from your team members.

Then turn the questions on them-

Relative to this role, help me understand what you're trying to accomplish.

What are you priority needs/wants? What does success look like?

As for your Job Search -

Don't focus on companies and openings.

Instead, look for the guy you can best serve.

There's a Senior Manager/Executive out there who needs your help.

On this, Linkedin Profiles are actually a useful tool.

Turns out, finding/discovering hidden tech talent is relatively easy.

Finding the "Economic Buyer", a true hiring executive with budget and authority to make timely hiring decisions gets worse every year.

Bureaucratic Red Flag, when HR Bozos start 'adding value' to the process.

As companies grow, they mindlessly get in their own way.

Consider taking the Sparketype test. It’s free, only takes 7 minutes.

Overview. In Sparked (2021), Jonathan Fields immerses readers in the universe of Sparketypes, an entirely new concept of impulses that make you feel alive at work and in life in general, so that you learn to avoid what drains you.
