I think anyone who isn't some kind of "resume consulting influencer" looking for you to pay them to have their $20 subscription to Chat GPT rework your personal branding has pretty much given up on LinkedIn .
Career success claims are generative fiction now.

Safe people will not lose their sh*t when you set boundaries or confront them about an aspect of their behavior.
Everybody has moments of defensiveness sometimes-- but if you're consistently living in fear of someone's reaction to being confronted, that's worth noticing.

Every time newsletter subscription renewals come up, I do eyeball my budget - at least to keep close to consciousness how much I end up handing out. I can't $$$ubscribe to everything I'd like to, and what has the top value for me can change.
This one's renewing though. Support Tim if you can.

If Sydette or her work have had a positive impact on your life, it's a good time to quote her post and tell your friends.

It is deeply worrying that at least 40% of the American public will vote for such a party, one that has abandoned all democratic norms and basic human decency, caved to disinformation and far-right fascism.
It is also deeply worrying that there are signs Canada is trending in that direction.
