Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Cameo is giving workers a $10,000 raise to return to the office. Its CEO says they're paying more because they're asking for more. Cameo's CEO Steven Galanis told BI that giving workers a $10,000 raise and other perks to return to the office immediately paid off for the company.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

For my friends with employees in LA. I've compiled resources and tips from Chief People Officers on supporting employees impacted by natural disasters into a crowdsourced, open-source resource (below). I'll continue to update it. [Photo credit: AP]

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

The workplace is changing faster than ever, and HR is right in the middle of it all. From AI taking over interviews (hello, "clone wars") to the extinction of some entry-level roles, the next few years are going to be wild. More in my @fastcompany.com piece. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
