No, you don’t know how to manage genZ (or any other cohort) because that’s not a fucking thing.

Start here:

Fight to pay them more. Period. This should be at the top of your daily to-do list. Your team is the reason you have a job, and they’re the reason your shareholders live such splendid lives. So, you want to keep your position(s) of benefit & security? Then never stop fighting for worker’s pay & benefit INCREASES. It is really hard to care about management, production (or shareholders 🙄) when you can’t take care of yourself or your family.

Curate a safe, work-focused environment that supports the life-cycle of a product that actually solves current, real-world problems like - global warming, profiteering, equality, etc.

Stop managing and learn how to lead.

Leaders:

Know how to say, “I don’t know.”

Show / do by example

Share knowledge

Support and foster knowledge sharing.

Shut their goddamn mouths and trust their teams to succeed (that’s why you hired them in the first place right?) and when the team/member falls short of PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON goals you work together to address the extenuating circumstance(s).

Every company’s greatest asset and product is the verve, innovation, and vision of its employees. Squash, or worse, fail to invest in any of these aspects of your workforce and the human beings you’re trying to “manage” will “manage” themselves into better working conditions elsewhere.

Sounds good. Looking forward to Microsoft fucking right off. Plenty of fantastic indie devs, teams, studios, and publishers out there. 👍

You can go the snap route too, if you’re into that:

https://snapcraft.io/install/openra/debian

Enable snapd

On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap install core

Install OpenRA

To install OpenRA, simply use the following command:

sudo snap install openra

I think I’d be pretty happy if I had these albums in a desert island scenario… especially if I could do some sampling/remixing 😜

The world needs ditch diggers to be paid a living wage.

Let’s stop abusing, using, and manipulating one another.

Amazing how easy it is to sell the US Gov new toys it doesn’t need.

“…ensure the U.S. is at the bleeding edge of next-generation drone warfare.”

Translation:

Pay threw the nose for expensive proprietary software that will eventually be made obsolete by it’s open-source equivalent.

apt install openra

Wow, yeah, decisions were made… that is technically a keyboard.

Not wasting a good high on work WILL set you apart.

Welp, there’s my WTF for the day

Aye.

Please silo yourselves.

That’s awesome! Really encouraging seeing projects and devs migrate away from closed-source and proprietary systems and features. 💪

Cool tool! Please consider leaving GitHub for any of the numerous FOSS options.

Here’s two excerpts from the follow article that make for interesting dinner conversations:

https://theintercept.com/2020/01/07/joe-biden-student-loans/

“In 1978, Biden supported the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which eliminated income restrictions on federal loans to expand eligibility to all students. Biden helped write a separate bill that year blocking students from seeking bankruptcy protections on those loans after graduation. (The income restrictions on federal loans were reinstated in 1981.) Then he went on to vote to create the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students, or PLUS, program in 1980 and the Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students, or ALAS, program in 1981, which extended loan eligibility to students with no parental financial support.”

" One of the most significant changes in the Higher Education reauthorization was a provision that prevented students in default under the Guaranteed Student Loan program from receiving new federal assistance. It also imposed new regulations that “helped fuel the development of lending-industry giants like Sallie Mae by creating barriers to entry to smaller, newer companies wanting to enter the field,” the think tank Education Sector wrote in a 2007 report.

“Loosened loan eligibility requirements, together with two new federal loan programs, increased student borrowing from $1.8 billion in 1977 to $12 billion in 1989,” the report said, referring to the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, and the PLUS and ALAS programs."
