#TheWorkWeNeed

‘Learn to care’ could replace ‘learn to code’ as the go to career advice for the next generation @jburnmurdoch.ft.com #TheWorkWeNeed

Are we afraid or do we simply balk at leaving the waste for future generations- something this and an identical article in @FT today fails to even engage with…

“I asked people what good work looks like in this century & what it would take to get there. I heard the same stories again & again.”

@hilarycottam.bsky.social reminds us: narrow economic models of work no longer serve us. She offers a 21st century reimaging rooted in the ideas of everyday experts.

Interesting to hear @hilarycottam.bsky.social talk about the most expansive and exciting imaginations about work is coming not from think tanks, but from people in Kilmarnock, barrow etc where their motivation for entertaining radical change is driven by necessity.
