Also while I’m on here tomorrow’s newsletter was a hard one it write but I’m so so proud of where @johnathan.bsky.social and I ended up. If you’re not subscribed, go do that now. I can’t be relied on to post them all here. Not while I’m waiting for the hot sauce delivery.

Just found one of the last places in Canada that stocks Old Bay hot sauce and bought out their entire stock.

Except one bottle.

If you need to know where to find it, dm me.

Overhead photo of the Raw Signal Group HQ sticker bowl, with several of our favourites laid out on a coffee table, including the RACI knuckle tattoos, "Super fucking clear", Really just like this, and Swearing is caring.

Listen. Listen. @shappy.bsky.social and I are making new stickers and they're going to be very good. That is all.

Also pictured: @johnathan.bsky.social well, uh, doing the exact opposite.

Also also pictured: new window art at the bank (our HQ is a restored bank if you’re new here hi 👋)

Training the bosses as fast as we can but haven’t yet figured out how to do management training at Scotiabank arena. Would be cool tho. Get like 20,000 managers giving better feedback in a day. Someday. Someday.

(And thank you)

Appreciate you helping to get the word out. So many amazing folks going to work in jobs they hate for bosses they can’t stand. I refuse to believe this is as good as it gets. We can do better. We can collectively sail right over this low bar. ⛵️

Yeah, I've had a strong return to reading long fiction in the evenings. Very relaxing to slowly read words that were carefully and lovingly crafted.

How did they not know?

"It's fair to ask why one should have to compel people to use a tool if it's so obviously incredible." @rawsignal.ca on the AI boomlet and the hazards to their own workers many tech CEOs are ignoring.

Today, over in CEO-club, all the cool kids are forcing their employees to use AI. They write bombastic internal emails, and then post those publicly for their CEO friends to admire and riff on. They tie AI usage to performance evaluation and compensation. They tie it to promotions and headcount requests. These CEOs, many of whom have woefully incomplete policies on hate speech and harassment, are clear-as-day that failing to use this or that LLM is an immediately fireable offence.

It's fair to ask why one should have to compel people to use a tool if it's so obviously incredible, but the CEOs are prepared for that question. Of course the tools are incredible, and many of their team members are already using them. But the pace of adoption needs to be faster. CEO social circles are often full of AI investors who assure them that even more powerful AI is just around the corner. And if their teams need some tough love in order to get with the program and see the vision, so be it.
