Good afternoon, friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse!

Today is a very busy day for me. In Italy, the week of "Ferragosto" (15 August) almost everything comes to a halt.
For me, it means double work: during the preceding week (this one), I need to wrap up tasks for those who will be on vacation, and during the next week, I'll take the opportunity to perform tasks that I can't when others are working. The result is that this is one of the busiest periods of the year, but that's perfectly fine. Many years ago, the week of Ferragosto was perfect for traveling abroad and handling work from there. Now, I do a lot more things online, so there's less need for travel.

I've started setting up Wiki.js for the bsd.cafe website - I'm trying to figure out whether to manage it as a simple wiki (like wiki.bsd.cafe) or use it as the project's homepage as well.

What do you think?

"You are welcome to express your views before the Party Congress votes to approve Comrade Stalin's Five-Year Plan."

Oops. Apologies! I read the memo from the administration too hastily without my glasses.

I see that it now says:

"Faculty are welcome to attend the trustees meeting by Zoom to voice their perspectives directly to Board members before the Board discusses and votes on the default recommendation."

Huge difference.

When my partner calls in sick, they stay in bed for the day.
When an academic is sick, they move their classes online.

As enjoyable as #vacations are I truly dread the return. I was judicious about ignoring work stuff last week. I’m paying the price now. Call it whatever you want, vacation doesn’t reduce #workload. #Backlog builds as you enjoy a pause.

A Two-Minute #Burnout Checkup
https://hbr.org/2023/04/a-two-minute-burnout-checkup?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Burnout is the result of chronic #stress and, at work, that stress tends accumulate around your experiences of #workload, values, reward, control, #fairness, and community. If any are lacking or out of sync, you may be headed toward #exhaustion

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-notes-high-rate-covid-infected-healthcare-workers-still-caring-patients “Of the 127 HCWs with #presenteeism, 66 (26% of 255 symptomatic #HCW) worked at least part of a day and then returned to work for second and/or additional days with #COVID19 symptoms

HCWs cited a high #workload #burden for coworkers and personal #responsibility as the main reasons for continuing to work while sick,”

Still on strike.

According to my Official #Workload Model I had worked all my hours by 28th February this year.

That’s the extent of overwork in H.E. And that’s obviously the official model. I am expected to work 17 additional weeks a year for free. #UCUstrike

I am a bit frazzled already this morning with a load of work emails after shopping.
Just aborted calling the IT people as it went to voicemail, it can wait for another day, so I loaded tools in the car instead.

Then I went to flock a model tree to make it look like it is being smothered by ivy and dead.
Was it a work priority?
Heck no!
Was it a #MH priority?
Hell yeah it was!

In my latest Women Advancing Together article is, “Is Your Sense of Loyalty Being Exploited at Work?”, I discuss recent research showing that employees with a reputation for loyalty are targeted by their managers to perform uncompensated work. This exploitation is widespread, but there is a blueprint for how to develop an equitable workplace where the workload is shared fairly.

Love it. Scale it. “A four-day #workweek pilot was so successful most firms say they won’t go back. 15 percent of employees who participated said that “no amount of money” would convince them to go back to working five days a week.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/02/21/four-day-work-week-results-uk/ #worklifebalance #worklife #workload

Have you ever noticed that doing your job well leads to more work being assigned to you? Maybe I should just be a little less productive.
