Work-Life Balance Solves The Wrong Problem Really Well … this weeks newsletter from People First.
Work-Life Balance
Trading my time for the pay I get (up!)
The Vogues
Living on money that I ain't made yet (up!)
Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way (up!)
But I live for the end of the day (up!)
Written in 1965 - and nothing has changed. This newsletter introduced you to the 4P model of People First ... Pay, Purpose, Play and Passion.
With a more open, enlightened recruiting process there is so much more that people could do in any company if they were given the chance. The answer is to stop job filling and start fulfilling.
Strategies for Resistance. A visual documentary of subvertising, an essay against the ad-man. … it’s a KickStarter - and right in line with People First thinking.
Needless to say - I made a pledge!
📚 Advertising Shits in Your Head
Strategies for Resistance. A visual documentary of subvertising, an essay against the ad-man.
Excuse the language - but that is the name of the book. The link takes you to their kick-starter.
Funny. Been thinking of doing a kick starter for my book, but I am too busy writing to spend another chunk of time thinking about what the campaign would look like.
Needless to say I have done my pledge - it is such a People First topic that I couldn't resist and as an extra message, the campaign deadline is my birthday. The ether was in alignment!
My thanks to John Wunderlich for the heads up.

NO. I do not want to see ‘Chief Experience Officers’ … but I do like where he’s headed.
Facebook is trying to make the word “private” meaningless.
“But what his presentation elided was the fact that Facebook does not need to see the content of what people are saying in order to advertise to them. The metadata — who, or what (as in a business), you’re talking to, and even where you are or what time the conversation is taking place as it comes together with other pieces of information — provides more than enough information to make a very educated guess about what you’re interested in, to the point that knowing specifically what you are saying adds almost nothing.”
Paraphrasing someone - Doc Searls I think.
”To suggest that by adding up the total set of known and unknown data about an individual provides an understanding of that person is akin to suggesting that by adding up the components that make up a car means you understand the car.
A selection of questions about data that run across two pages in one of my notebooks.
Does the sum of my data describe me?
If it doesn’t why do businesses think it does?
Is ‘my data’ really mine .. do I own it?
When did I give permission for my data to be used by others?
Thoughts
News is a commodity because it is ‘just’ data.
E.g. News: ‘The DOW fell by x’
**Charge for **
- When last
- When next
- How to
- What it means to who
- Why
Information, knowledge, insights, wisdom - that surround news can be charged for and will be bought if any good.

Lot's more to say on this, and will. Some of the points I touched on in Tuesday's Newsletter.

Ditch The Binary
“Look at gender. We used to think of it as a binary, male or female, and now we understand it's a spectrum. It is high time to ditch the old-young binary, too.”
Ashton Applewhite
Says it all really. Ageism is alive and well. In fact the same day, Paul Krugman wrote a piece on the job market that I totally disagreed with - so of course I had to write something.
You can read the whole of Issue Number 7 here.
Krugman Should Comment On The Complete Picture
Paul Krugman writing in the NYT today.
There was a message in the latest jobs report that is consistent with what these reports have been telling us for at least the past year or two. Namely, the workers are alright.
Paul Krugman
Well who am I to disagree with Paul Krugman?
John Philpin - that's who. And I completely disagree.
As always, its what's not being said that matters. The elephant [efn_note]elephants?[/efn_note] in the room cannot be ignored, and I am disappointed that someone like Krugman should waste his time on this kind of 'opinion'. Yes, we have 'great' employment figures. But that’s because as usual, we measure and comment on the wrong things. 'Everybody' having a job is not the point (if a large chunk of the workforce is excluded from the count of 'everybody'). It is everybody (not just 25 to 54-year-olds) having one job, that is paid fairly, so doesn’t need to work a second job to make ends meet. That is what we should be looking at.
After reading this week’s People First Newsletter - ‘Ditch The Binary’ … I got this email;
”Great piece to wake up with my coffee as we stand on the precipice of what we hope is not personal obsolescence with regards to any and all of life’s topics.”
