Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid

Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.

Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …

instead of you telling the employer that they have to prove their value or the deal is off.

Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

@henfredemars

Yea. Which touches on the issue of who determines the performance score of an employee and how transparent and inclusive it is.

Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

  • FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
  • Shared/Single Sign On
  • Easy cross posting
  • Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
  • Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

Yea I don’t know the best approach to that. Either a separate server for managing IDs. Or you always a principal server that manages authentication for its platform and others within the trusted “circle”. And then, should the principal server fail, you can switch to another server as your principal. Hubzilla/Streams has some process like that AFAIK.

What the new tech creator-content platforms and economy miss

Adam Neely on "quitting " puts two ideas together (that I hadn't) and implicitly asks "what if the new platform/economy fails you"

Longevity and freedom from traditional gatekeepers. The content-creator economy fails on these promises.

Burn out is baked in and ignoring the traditional gate-keepers is at your own very serious risk.

The world is the same, tech is just milking us.

It's probably (very) naive of me, but I hadn't quite thought that the whole thing is a grift against everyone.

Ads, data tracking, and tricking you into ignoring the economy/industry that actually matters in the name of "evolution" and "breaking things".

Can't help but see some (stretched) resonance with the . Is this just some tech idea that needs to convince all of us that it's the good new thing? What if at its core there's something wrong and it fails us?

Death of the Middle Class Musician

Interesting reflection by two older musicians (Beato and Tim Pierce) about how the music industry used to have a "middle class" that's been pushed out now by an industry that focuses more and more on profits.

They don't really go into the details of how the changes happened, with big-corp being the elephant in the room ... but their observations, which include tech, paint a pretty clear picture.

Great line in there from Tim about how everyone is now viewed as an Uber driver and how its hard to justify being paid more than one.
