Office Barricade Reveal

What a photo. In another timeline this would have been a great meme template. The motive for this will be very telling. Was the shooter someone with a bone to pick with Blackstone/Capitalism? A personal beef? Former employee? This photo will have a whole new meaning once we know.

Brummie Rock Legend Kitchen Backdrop

"Good morning!" So sang Ozzy. Cheerily. As filmed by his daughter at their English kitchen table in this poignant final clip. It's unclear whether he was locked into watching content on his tablet there. Or maybe he was preparing to video call, headphone-ready. Yet it's a setting with which we've

Avoiding Graveyard Shifts

How often do you mull it over? When in the day to schedule that key call, meeting or pitch can be a sticky one. Italian scientists think the ideal time is around noon. Suggested after assessing a whopping 104,522 oral assessments, lasting between ten and thirty minutes, given by

Condé Nast Interview Test

"To be hired at Vogue in the 1990s, candidates had to recognise all the references on a sheet of 178 names, ranging from the Connaught to Diana Vreeland, proving their cultural bona fides, and their social class." So explained Hadley Freeman. In her review, "Michael M Grynbaum’s Empire of

Ratchet Effect Flag

I've long remembered the above cartoon. Once more tangentially reminded of it when talking someone through the Ratchet Effect. Technically, it refers to when a direction is so set in train, it's almost impossible to stop. On a bid, you can see this when what you propose is perceived to
