Dear CEOs: mass layoffs are counterproductive.

Hundreds of studies: firms that downsize end up being less profitable than peers that find other ways to lower costs (e.g., exec pay cuts, unpaid leaves).

Layoffs bleed talent & breed guilt+anxiety. They should be the last resort.

People are happier to help than we expect.

Data: we overestimate how inconvenienced they’ll feel—and underestimate how valued they’ll feel.

Asking isn't always a burden. It's often an opportunity to help others feel capable and useful.

Seeking help is an expression of trust.

@AskZiplyFiber Two things we know will happen: 1. Outages will occur. 2. Marketing will over-promise. Obviously you didn’t “imagine everything” that could go wrong and prevent it as promised in the tweet from your marketers.

When the defense budget gets $20 billion more than requested, it’s hard to tell working families that we “can’t afford” to help them with the necessities.

We have to get our priorities straight.

@PullmanPolice The challenge at this point is, of course, to operate with in the new standards and still achieve your objectives. Are there departments in states with similar standards who have adopted new practices that we could adopt?

Dog to Babe: "You have to dominate them - be ruthless (or) they'll walk all over you."
Trump to governors: "You have to dominate (or) they're going to run over you"

RBG: "You have just tossed entirely to the wind what Congress thought was essential, that women be provided these services with no hassles, no cost ... Instead, you are shifting the employer's religious beliefs, the cost of that, onto these employees." https://t.co/REURcsHu7M

@nytimes "...who took the drug and died..."

[Daniel Eveleth @DanEveleth]

@nytimes In a not-yet-peer-reviewed study, recovery time for patients who took the drug was significantly lower than those who took the placebo. However, the number who took the drug and dead was not significantly different from the number of people who took the placebo and dead.

@Sebasp41 “emotional distress of having to see homeless people” - imagine the distress homeless people have seeing ‘homemore’ people turn away from the real problems.
