All About Work

After a lot of thought and consideration, I’ve decided to put All About Work on indefinite leave.

I was a guest on the podcast The Bunker, where I talked with host Andrew Harrison about how “grindset” culture and self-promoting CEOs are damaging businesses and society.

I’ve written several posts about predatory journals – journals that present themselves as academic journals, but which have no meaningful peer review and are published by questionable organizations.

This is the week of the 2025 world figure skating championships.

British writer David Lodge passed away in January, at the grand age of 89.

Happy New Year!

As 2024 winds down, it’s time to look at which posts on All About Work were most popular this year.

Twelve years ago, I wrote a post on this blog about the “10,000 hour rule” that Malcolm Gladwell promoted in his book Outliers.

When I was researching the article on the “right to disconnect” that I recently wrote for The Conversation, one of the studies that I referenced was one exploring over-connectivity and gender equity in the legal profession.

I wrote an article for The Conversation website about “right to disconnect” laws (laws that give workers the right to ignore after-hours communications from employers) and why these are an opportunity for organizations, rather than a constraint.
