$5 drugstore mascara > expensive mascara Every. Dang. Time.

The EPA decided not to uphold limits of perchlorate in drinking water, linked to brain damage in fetuses and infants. Brilliant. High concentrations in 26 states but no biggie, right? nytimes.com/2022/03/31/clima…

Home remodel while WFH: -Day 1: Jackhammering during a candidate interview -D2: Went to a quiet location to record webinar. Spotty internet. Had to reschedule. -D3: Router disconnected right before important meeting, had to reschedule. @heatherbussing I'm trying to BREATHE...

Hubs & I went shopping for new light fixtures today, toddler in tow, dressed in our comfiest WFH best. We're renovating our house and about to spend some $$$. But, of the 12 or so employees, nobody approached us for 45 mins. Friendly reminder not to judge books by their covers.

Proud to learn that my @UKGInc colleagues & I donated more than $150,000 to @Refugees to support Ukraine. And proud to work for a company that matches all contributions 100%. CSR really matters. To the world. To good causes. And, to employee engagement and loyalty.

My 7 yo and I were doing a reading lesson last night with flashcards. She reads the word & uses it in a sentence. "left" "You only have 20 years LEFT before you die." Swear to goodness that happend last night.

Incredibly well-deserved, @_strclaire! Congratulations!!

Why I'm an index investor: The top 20 hedge funds earned a 10.5% return last year, more than doubling the industry average. S&P500 = 30% rise (incl. dividends). Oh yeah, and I pay 0.04% fees.

EXECS: The intense pressure facing orgs to cut Russian ties reflects the gravity of #CSR. @Shell, @McDonalds & @Starbucks now join 320+ others withdrawing from Russia due to backlash. There will be consequences. Trust: This crisis will not be the last on which orgs are judged.

This #InternationalWomensDay, consider the fact that BLS data from Jan shows there's STILL 1.8M less women in US workforce than 2 years ago. Most are mothers. Men have regained all labor losses. Is flexibility alone enough to get them back? I wanna know what you think.

The hardest part of packing for a trip is always figuring out how many books to bring.

Quotes wanted: Writing a @UKGInc blog RE: pay equity, specifically the pandemic's impact on working mothers. It's a sad state of affairs. Looking for a couple quotes from HR pros, specifically: 1) What have you witnessed in your org? 2) What can be done to close the gap?

"To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside: If you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history. All relevant decisions have been taken. I hope you hear me." Me too, @k8bisch.
