In "Social Quitting," my latest @LocusMag column, I analyze the precipitous #VibeShift of the dominant social media platforms: how we so quickly went from wondering how to get shut of them to asking where we go now that we're all ready to quit.

The core of the argument revolves around #surpluses - that is, the value that exists in the service. For a user, surpluses are things like "being able to converse with your friends" and "being able to plan activities with your friends." 3/
Conspiratorialism's weirdest idea is that word games are the key to uncovering secret plots. As @kenchengcomedy points out, it's very weird that antivaxers are obsessed with the fact that "delta" and "omicron" are an anagram for "media control."

"It’s mediaschmerz—a sadness about the news cycle and news media, which is distinct from the experience of our everyday life. I’m not sure if I think this is good or bad. It simply is. Individual hope and national despair are not contradictions." @DKThomp greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/06/02/dai…

Hard to pay attention with what is going on abroad.
Fed's move is known, and constrained by market reaction to the above.
A glance will be had at wage and income growth.
Headline number will likely underperform consensus.

Here we go:
Non farm payrolls up by 678,000
Private sector 654,000
Unemployment 3.8%

Hourly wages were flat though!

OK, there was a BIG catch-up in all the low-wage/low-hours jobs we had been missing for months. Over 360,000 jobs restored in retail, leisure and hospitality, education and healthcare and administrative and waste alone. This is why aggregate hourly wage growth was only a penny.>>

Over and over in the history of labor rights, we see the same story: if workers exclude a group from labor protections, bosses will recruit that group to scab against them and smash their power. 1/

Xenophobes argue that this means we should block immigration to head off competition with low-waged workers, but history teaches us that this is a losing move.
The winning move is solidarity with every worker, regardless of immigration status, national origin, gender, or age. 3/

We are at a 20 year low of hiring yield = hires/opening. HR folks, you are not imagining it.
Both an unusually synchronized surge in hiring efforts across organizations as well as a low unemployment rate are driving this.

Improvements to retention & recruitment can both increase your ability to be selective in hiring, rather than desperate.
For most, start with retention. You already convinced these people to work with you. You are in constant communication with them.

How?
Your employees know what they care about most. Find ways to hear them honestly (pulse surveys, supervisor evals, labor-mgmt partnership...).
Then deliver. Every employer made big operational changes in pandemic. Use job & org design to smooth rough edges created unintentionally
