#Capitalism and #work
There’s something especially dystopian about watching people:
Give their health
Give their youth
Give their dignity
Give their lives
…and then obsequiously thank the people who took it from them.
Capitalism’s final victory... not just that exploitation, but convincing you it’s noble to be exploited.

"For many of the Gen X-ers who embarked on creative careers in the years after the novel was published, lessness has come to define their professional lives.
If you entered media or image-making in the ’90s — magazine publishing, newspaper journalism, photography, graphic design, advertising, music, film, TV — there’s a good chance that you are now doing something else for work. That’s because those industries have shrunk or transformed themselves radically, shutting out those whose skills were once in high demand.
“I am having conversations every day with people whose careers are sort of over,” said Chris Wilcha, a 53-year-old film and TV director in Los Angeles.
Talk with people in their late 40s and 50s who once imagined they would be able to achieve great heights — or at least a solid career while flexing their creative muscles — and you are likely to hear about the photographer whose work dried up, the designer who can’t get hired or the magazine journalist who isn’t doing much of anything.
Gen X-ers grew up as the younger siblings of the baby boomers, but the media landscape of their early adult years closely resembled that of the 1950s: a tactile analog environment of landline telephones, tube TV sets, vinyl records, glossy magazines and newspapers that left ink on your hands.
When digital technology began seeping into their lives, with its AOL email accounts, Myspace pages and Napster downloads, it didn’t seem like a threat. But by the time they entered the primes of their careers, much of their expertise had become all but obsolete.
More than a dozen members of Generation X interviewed for this article said they now find themselves shut out, economically and culturally, from their chosen fields."

Why I Chose to Stop Working in New York City
For years, I commuted daily from Montgomery Township, NJ, into Manhattan. At first, it seemed like a smart move. Good job, good pay, and the excitement of working in the city. But over time, the hidden costs became painfully obvious—not just in money, but in energy and time too. One day I realized: it just wasn't worth it. Here's why. Paying Taxes Twice When you live in New Jersey but work in New York, you pay taxes to New York. A lot of taxes. I paid income tax to a state where I […]https://islandinthenet.com/why-i-chose-to-stop-working-in-new-york-city/

LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’
Winning for who?
"Is it time to ditch your emotional support hoodie?" Boutayna Chokrane writes for @WIRED. Her piece examines how what we wear can affect how others perceive us in the workplace, and consequently, our opportunities. "The hoodie masquerades as an everyman’s garment, but in the office, it’s a rich man’s privilege. For the rest of us, it just makes it easier to be overlooked," she concludes. We want to know: Do you have different wardrobes for work and home? Tell us in the comments what you think.
The latest findings from the Family Resources Survey (FRS) have been published by the Department for Work and Pensions. The FRS is a continuous household survey which collects information on topics such as income, housing tenure, care needs, disability, education, pension participation and more. NatCen has carried out data collection for the survey every year since it launched in 1992.
Out in the wilds again today, with a starting temperature of 3°C but no frost. Warmly packed now, which will be too warmly packed later as the prognosis is 18°C by about 15.00.

Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I'm one of the unlucky ones.
Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn't seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience, specialising in PHP, Ruby, JS, HTML, CSS, devops, and about 50% of CMSes you've ever heard of (and probably some you haven't)... with a flair for security, accessibility, standards-compliance, performance, and DexEx?
