She knew there was evidence, clues in the stories those searches would tell. They had another 24 hours to question him. Her work could make all the difference. The interviewers were waiting for the search that would prove … [Read more…]

He’d done it before, he knew he could could get there. What had he been picturing that time? he thought. No, don’t struggle to remember. Blue sky. Breathe. He glanced again at the wearable, waiting for the hue to shift. … [Read more…]
https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/purpose-purpose/1812268 She tested the app and more importantly the connection to her wearable. She ramped the sensitivity up a bit, it’d drain the battery churning the data but it was only for during the interview. She double checked: alerts were on. Good. The company was set. The likely interviewers selected. She read the initial report … [Read more…]

Both state and private, frenemies controlling access and product. Now we have to take their terms. They’re the main player. People love them.. They get that fun “wrapped” thing at the end of the year. All the tracks … [Read more…]

Well yes, obviously that is the point and why we have him but at least here, we can “manage” him. We can decide which pithy “opinions” we publish, which ones get attached to our name.

Look, I’m not an expert in music but I do know what I want to say and, just as importantly what I want them to hear. I get what you’re saying about “narrative arc” and “two five one progressions”. I understand the idea of harmonic … [Read more…]
https://www.adweek.com/agencies/advertising-first-union-why-marketers-should-worry/ We’re not going to back down. We can’t. We’ve come to far now. We know management stockpiled in preparation. They knew we were going to strike. They wanted us to. The government gave the police new powers and they had the trade press on their side: “enemy within”. But we can’t go back. This … [Read more…]

We have intranets, AI-enabled project tools. We have away days and team-building days.

I don’t know if they’re checking location. Don’t need to apparently. My Therapy Officer explained – in that way they do – that it’s as much to help me as monitor me. Yeh, whatever!
