The fool who did this to the most talented and successful broadcaster of her generation should be looking for another job. hollywoodreporter.com/features/oprah…
I mean, imagine coaching Oprah on how she's relating to the camera and audience! It's inconceivable. Did random dudes call out changes Mozart should make on his symphonies from audience? Why would one chase away genius like this?
No one would've tried this shit with Cronkite, but of course Oprah is black and a woman and somehow being the most successful broadcaster and mogul of her time doesn't count in those spaces.

The relationship between freelancers and publications as described in this piece by @SilvermanJacob are identical, and I mean identical to the relationship between adjuncts and higher ed institutions. newrepublic.com/article/153744… /thread
The most obvious connection is that both institutions rely on the precariat (freelancers/adjuncts) to stay in operations. Without these highly qualified, skillful practitioners, the larger institutions could not function.
Next, there is little to distinguish those on the "right" side of the equation to the others. Both freelancers and adjuncts have the requisite skills, training, and experience to be full-fledged employees, but they are not given that status.

Thread on why we need more sociologists in the debate on how we're going to finance higher education and help students regain reasonable access to college.
I mean, economists are fine and have role in the free college debates, but it's the sociologists who can unearth the "why's" underneath what's happening and help us understand the systemic mechanisms that are causing problems who are going to help us find a path out.
Tell me which books tell us more about what's ails post-secondary edu from a systemic perspective more than @tressiemcphd's Lower Ed and @saragoldrickrab's Paying the Price. Both sociologists. And the other book we should be reading, The Great Mistake by @cnewf? He's an Eng prof.

I find this early polling on free college encouraging. More than 50% oppose, but it's early days in terms of getting out the full story of what it would mean. I would've thought it would score 30% positive or so. poll.qu.edu/national/relea…
Warren's debt forgiveness plan has majority support. This is great news because as we know, free college (or at least a giant infusion of funding of some kind) must come coupled with this, otherwise we wind up in the same problem as now in the future.
Interestingly, support for debt forgiveness declines when tied to a tax on "wealthy" individuals. I want to see how this would score with more precision than "wealthy." What would the #'s be if instead it said, "new tax on households with more than $50 million in wealth?"

Thread from the RT, and also this is the start of one of my own. At one point, a friend who was a manager there told me that the gaslighting was actually mandated. But I'll get to that in a minute.
So, first off, this is the email she's referencing. theverge.com/2019/4/4/18295…
So, I started at Microsoft at the peak of stack ranking. Stack ranking (aka forced distribution) as it worked at Microsoft was, as I understood it: each manager starts with the assumption that 20% of your team are star performers, 10% need to be fired, & rest are in the middle.

Gun Grab starting in NV. F'n libs from CA are bleeding into our state! This is how NWO happens.
1)Promise FREE EVERYTHING TO GET ELECTED
2)Once in... change the laws to favor SOCIALIST AGENDA (start at local, then state, then federal levels).
3)Disarm the public so they can not
rise up against the REAL SOCIALIST AGENDA.
4)LIE AND SAY EVERYTHING IS TO BENEFIT THE PLANET AND HUMANITY
5)KEEP POPULATION IN DEBT AND NEED TO THE GOVERNMENT.
6)START DEPOPULATION AGENDA FOR BETTERMENT OF PLANET AND GLOBALIST. LEAVE ONLY ENOUGH PEOPLE TO SERVE ((THEM))
CA boasts it is 5th or 6th largest income yet has the largest homeless population. Tents line the streets. Drug addicts use openly, hypodermics are passed out (plastic) yet straws are banned, illegal immigrant criminals are given sanctuary. Walls are immoral? But Dem's just

Real talk: The moment ONE victim comes forward with a credible allegation that they have been sexually assaulted, an investigation must be opened into what happened. #FairfaxResign #BelieveSurvivors #MeToo
Appropriate measures must taken regarding the alleged perpetrator's behavior, including but not limited to suspension from job duties while the investigation is occurring. #FairfaxResign #BelieveSurvivors
Suspension is not a punitive measure. It is done to protect the public & ensure that the internal investigation doesn't get derailed by the accused who would still have access to files, computers, company cell phone, etc. that could hold evidence. #FairfaxResign #BelieveSurvivors

One of my team members (Duma employee) asked to see me yesterday for a quick meeting to tell me he’s actively looking for a job...

Here’s how I reacted to an employee of 2 years telling me he’s using resources in my company to look for a job elsewhere...

A THREAD...
Context: this guy was an intern at a company I used to work at. As I was building my team and that company was restructuring and I going out on my own, I offered him a job with the Collective. So he became one of our social media coordinators and later Junior Social Media Manager
He’s grown in leaps and bounds and now handles clients directly without me interfering which I think has given him good exposure and networking opportunities... and by clients I mean global compnybttpe clients...
