My organization has undergone huge growth in the last couple of years, and I think we're still waiting to see the latent effects of that on our company culture. Much will stay the same, but a younger, more diverse workforce will drive change. #mavorg

This could be a really good way of reframing the conversation in workplace sexual harassment training - abusers (men & women alike) probably have not considered what it feels like to be on the receiving end of this unwanted attention. #mavorg https://t.co/KgqFl6njKN

Imagine how it feels to be on the receiving end of unwanted attention

@uno_schmidt Try Wednesday lunchtime yoga :D

@Dpan_UNO I had trouble finding a job directly out of undergrad, so I think about this a lot. I think a lot of it has to do with mismatched expectations on both sides, but mostly from students. Schools could do a lot more to prepare grads for the real world. #mavorg

@btrauernichtuno I would love (and could really use) a sabbatical! Unfortunately, that seems astronomically unlikely in most U.S. companies. It is totally a matter of challenging the status quo of our working culture. #mavorg

My workload has been huge for the last couple of months, and I'm starting to feel the stress. My boss and I have been working on both individual (time management) and organizational approaches (pausing some of my duties) to manage my stress. #mavorg

Women have unique challenges when it comes to the stress that they bring to and experience in the workplace - it is my goal to master stress management early in my career so I can handle more pressure later on! #mavorg

Having worked in both, it's interesting to read how our book describes the differences between simple structure and bureaucracy organizations. I definitely prefer my role in a bureaucracy to a dysfunctional simple structure. #mavorg

This isn't the first time we've heard this before - why do companies still fall into the trap of promoting the wrong people based on faulty criteria? #mavorg https://t.co/KpY84kectt

The next time you have to promote someone to manager, don’t just pick the most productive person

@david_germer My coworkers and I were just talking today about how we would love to follow his strategy of getting up and walking out of useless meetings - not going to happen in the real world! #mavorg

Hiring and turnover is expensive, but even more costly when you're not hanging onto your best employees. #mavorg https://t.co/mPy5CdBOV0

@Megan_UNO I am personally glad we don't have instant messaging at my job. My fiancee uses it with his coworkers for both productive and social purposes, but I think it would be a total distraction and a disruptor for me.

Chapter 12 outlines exactly how lucky I am to have a great mentor - she checks every box there is! I am one lucky protege! #mavorg

Chapter 9 made me think about the cliche complaint some people make: That the working world is "just like high school." Unknowingly they are referring to the effects of ingroup favoritism and outgroups. #mavorg

[Emma Link @ELink_UNO]

@MitchellHolt6 I think about this all the time! In school "critical thinking" was always stressed as an outcome for courses, but I never felt like I was actually being taught how to do so. It was a skill I learned in my personal life and in my first job. #mavorg

I remember completing an assertiveness questionnaire in Leadership Skills and being pleased that I scored highest in assertiveness - I am always afraid that I am too passive in conflict. Clearly I have made strides to fix that! #mavorg https://t.co/I5PTwLOLtJ

I'm glad that our textbook made mention of the unhealthy connection between job engagement and work-family conflict - definitely something for managers to keep in mind when encouraging high engagement in their employees. #mavorg

[Emma Link @ELink_UNO]

@Sean_CulverMBA I know that would motivate me! Operant conditioning at work! #mavorg

[Emma Link @ELink_UNO]

Relevant for me as I try to practice mindfulness every day + try to disengage from my phone and engage with the people I'm talking to. #mavorg https://t.co/ZYTeWCU0hz

Chapter 4 speaks really deeply to me, as I am always working to be more mindful and identify the source of the emotions I have in the workplace. I have to disagree with the text, however - I am absolutely in a better mood when the sun is out! ☀️ #mavorg
