Holacracy - The Dystopia Behind the Utopia🌴
A critical look at holacracy and why it might not be the ideal solution for every company.
If your employees can already contribute, there is no need for Holacracy. However, if the employees cannot contribute, Holacracy will also not be able to save anything as you have the wrong mindset.

Completing the final steps of the Spanish citizenship journey for our family. I just sent off an email to the Consulate asking if we can complete the passport applications for the kids in Vancouver rather than flying to Toronto (this would be the 3rd time for me, 2nd for them!).

Tried writing it without a translator first to practive. Did OK but verbs and prepositions are hard to remember without more practice.

They seem to have updated/changed some of their application procedures over the past year so I'm hoping it's possible that they'll either allow us to apply for the passport at the Honourary Consulate in Vancouver, or when the Toronto Consul visits during the next year.

Still have that letter to the Spanish embassy waiting in my brain urging them to open a full Consulate in Alberta or BC. This flying to TO thing sucks.

Julie #Billaud: Administrative techniques devised to engage parties to a conflict "are changing as a result of external sources of pressure for ‘evidence-based programming’, turning personalised case-based monitoring into a new form of ‘audit culture’ based on statistical evidence. Paradoxically, relying on numbers to realise the utopia of ‘humanising war’ makes the very ‘humans’ who are supposed to benefit from it disappear from view."

Every 4 or 8 years the #us #healthcare system is one of:

a) Hopelessly entangled in a spaghetti bowl of #bureaucracy and #Corruption; pigs run amuck

b) Evidence that #Capitalism is doomed and is all because #greed and predatory fatcats

And because we are collectively stupider than we are individually it's more

c) A mishmash of every good-sounding bad idea with dead people to account for it, oh and the #mob, because it serves as either of the above as needed.

This is no surprise at all.

Having lived here for less than a year and fighting #bureaucracy every step of the way, I'm wondering if #Germany, instead of being a destination, is just the #citizenship gateway to move somewhere else in the #EU.

What's sad is that moving farther to the #right will only make things worse. Aligning the #government with the needs of the people is the only solution, but voters are actively electing their own demise.

' “I was curious to see how government works,” he said, but he quickly grew disillusioned by what he described as “rampant #corruption and #bureaucracy” that plagued his ministry.

“In Russia, the main reason people get into politics is to steal money. Corruption has ripped my country apart. Either you participate in it or you get tossed out,” Sharonov said. '

Law enforcement here in the future.

IAS, IPS and IFoS: Is India stifling criticism by retired bureaucrats?

The Indian government has brought in new rules that allow it to cancel pensions of retired bureaucrats who have served as high-ranking officers in some of the most coveted government jobs.

This is amazing (in a bad way). Wairarapa Hospital was built in 2006... and it's not earthquake-safe, and it needs $$millions to fix, and they are planning to build a new building now? What the heck? This was the new one to replace the old one! Something went seriously wrong somewhere.

"If you’re a parent, you might remember what happened when schools no longer had to determine eligibility....

the removal of the layers of #bureaucracy just made everything easier. “If you take away that paperwork, it’s such a benefit to #families and students. And it also speeds up the lunch line,”...

liberals should be on the lookout for places where things can be simplified...

We just have to decide to feed all children, and do it in the least bureaucratic way possible."

🇩🇪 To buy something in Soviet Russia, the saying goes, you had to stand in line for three different counters: One to ask for the item, one to weigh it, and one to pay for it. To buy a train ticket in Germany, you have to use three different apps and identify yourself three times: One to make a subscription, one to get the ticket, and one to cancel the subscription.
