@dreadz1 Right there with you.
@dreadz1 Also relates to this. x.com/axbom/status/1…
If work is intended to give us more time to be human, when do we stop working?
If we are already more efficient, what are we doing at work?
Did we forget that work also has to be effective?
Have we figured out what effective means yet?
Looking for a question that makes sense.

@berkun The gist of it is:
* Lack of knowledge
* External pressure
* Lack of self-care (health issues)
* Lack of self-awareness (biases and no clear values)
* Time constraints
Will do a write-up, and part of 2 books I'm working on, one of which is a small companion book.

@kitterati @DavidBuckster Ha, cool! I discovered 80,000 Hours just yesterday!
When I started doing talks on accessibility, I did not imagine that 15 years later most organizations still wouldn't manage to be inclusive online. But this made me research behavioral ethics to better understand why humans keep making bad decisions.
Building resilience, in yourself and others, will assist in mitigating the forces that promote our poor choices. Along with impact management I believe this will be of huge importance to the tech developments of our future.
When frustration hits, changing perspective can help.

Do not stand on stage and say you do not need a microphone. There may be people with hearing impairments in the room and audio equipment may have a hearing loop.
Always choose and accept the microphone.
And if you find yourself asking "Can you hear me in the back?" the people answering are likely not the people with hearing impairments.
Please recognize that the goal of WCAG is not WCAG compliance, but to empower as many people as possible with your design.
If you want to buy the Apple TV remote it's 59 US dollars.
If they did any amount of research it would actually be hard to imagine those two problems not being identified.
If your job is to get people hooked and provide for the benefit of the company, without ensuring their well-being, that is what turns humans into batteries.

@adblanche I’d search online for programmes that are affiliated with ICF. coachfederation.org I’d say 6-10,000 dollars for a training programme and then it’s about logging coaching hours.
@adblanche But for best advice in the US I would reach out to @whitneyhess :)
Here’s a basic tip for meeting organizers: book the meeting room 15 mins ahead of start time. This gives you time to prepare the room ahead of participants arriving. Also, end the meeting *at least* 5 mins before you need to be out of the room. Ending with stress is never good.

@opassande Det lustiga är att jag identifierar starkt med detta också trots att jag ser mig själv som en oerhört visuell person. Väldigt glad att det var en kreatör som beskrev det så bra.
Trying to understand how a failure to ensure accessibility in the new Gutenberg editor for Wordpress will impact public sector organizations across the world. Pretty sure this could mean substantial costs if they fail to comply with local laws.
