The OffBeat #28: Half Note
Something to read, something to think about, something else
Something to read:
All success is a lagging indicator
Books to match your summer reading mood
Why senior-level women are calling it quits
Something to think about:
“I noticed the following facts about people who work with the door open or the door closed. I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't know quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance. He who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important.”
— Richard Hamming, “You And Your Research” 1986 talk to researchers and computer scientists
Something else:
Books to get you fired up — and informed — about workplace misogyny and maltreatment of non-cis-white-male folks so you can be the strongest possible ally:
Jamie Fiore Higgins, Bully Market: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen, Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home
Have a great week,
