@jaybsauceda@UTAustin@tcreporter So proud of you for going back and finishing what you started - not because you need the piece of paper, but because you’ve always said you wanted to and would. ☺️
I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.
Couldn't agree more.
Also applies to work relationships with some modifications.
Our company's role isn't to make us happy. It's to provide the right processes, practices, & people to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and heard and create an environment for mutual growth.
1. Our partner should make us happy
Our partner’s role isn’t to make us happy. Their role is to be a safe, supportive place for mutual evolution. Making your partner responsible for your own happiness is a recipe for resentment.
This is not a knock on our school. They do what they have to in today’s world. This is simply a tweet from a sad, frustrated parent that wants to see real change. I am tired of relying on prayers alone that I never receive the life changing phone call all parents fear.
My 7 yo attends public school in Austin, Texas. Like all elementary schools, they practice “lock down” drills, aka active shooter drills. I grew up with Columbine. It’s still so hard to process that my baby must be taught to hide in a place where she should feel safe.
The message to kids on why we do this: “You make good choices and are kind to others. Unfortunately, not everyone is the same as you. We want to practice so that when something happens, we know what to do to stay safe.” The “why” put in words so kids understand is heartbreaking.
Saw this in an article about Twitter’s layoffs. Unfortunately, it’s a sad truth at a lot of orgs. My People, people, if you work for a company with this mindset, do yourself a favor and find a place where People is a valued, strategic function with decision power.
@JoshJDurham@jaybsauceda Even better. Sent on Slack, despite him sitting about 7' behind me in our shared backyard office.
We were both plowing through to-do lists this AM.
