Right now the minds of Israelis & Palestinians are filled with their own pain: no space left to even acknowledge the pain of the other side. But outsiders should make an effort to empathize with all suffering humans & help maintain a space for peace. bit.ly/YNH-TIME-Oct23 @TIME

@luisantespino @XochitlGalvez Mi querido @luisantespino eres un crack!

. @XochitlGalvez no tiene el aparato de propaganda de AMLO. Pero tiene carisma, agilidad y capacidad “todoterreno” para comunicar. Ante los ataques, le ayudará mucho evitar la dispersión del mensaje y responder en sus propios términos narrativos. letraslibres.com/politica/luis-…

Elon Musk fired 6,500 employees at Twitter. A little birdie told me it's down to: - 2 designers - 6 iOS developers - 20 web developers - Around 1,400 sales and operations people How is it possible that we are still using this website? Two words: Parkinson's Law. Have you ever wondered why seemingly simple tech companies have tens of thousands of employees? Sometimes, it's because they have huge sales forces or tech support/operations people. But often it's also due to Parkinson's Law. Parkinson's law is like lighter fluid for bureaucracy. It's a business tapeworm that slowly eats away at companies, making them less and less efficient and innovative over time. Parkinson's Law is the idea that the work will generally expand to the amount of time, budget, and number of people allocated to it, and no matter how many people you allocate to it, those people will feel busy. They'll feel busy because, due to the excess time/slack in the system, they'll start focusing on less and less important tasks. Here's how it manifests on an individual level: Let's say you have a report due in a week. The report might only take you around five hours to finish if you really focus and work efficiently. However, because you know you have a week to complete it, you might find yourself spending a lot more time on it than you need to. You'll be more prone to distractions, take longer breaks, or perhaps decide to add more details, tables, graphs, and so forth. Essentially, the task becomes more complex and time-consuming purely because you have more time in which to do it. And here's how it manifests across organizations: Imagine a big tech company. A social media company with various departments. Each department has tasks that it must complete to contribute to the overall productivity of the company. Now, suppose each department is given a budget and a set amount of time to complete its tasks for the year. According to Parkinson's Law, each department will use its entire budget and the entire allotted time, even if the tasks could have been completed more efficiently. This is because as resources and time increase, departments tend to become more complex and less efficient. For example, a department might add more steps to its procedures, requiring more approvals and creating more paperwork, which slows down the process. Or it might use the full budget on additional personnel or equipment that doesn't necessarily improve productivity. The department might also use the full budget to justify the same or larger budget for the next year, since budgets in many organizations are often determined based on the previous year's spending. This is a phenomenon known as "budget padding" or "spend it or lose it" mentality. Inefficiencies can also develop in staff allocation. If a department expands, it might add managerial positions that aren't strictly necessary. More employees are hired to manage, creating layers of bureaucracy that may not contribute to productivity and can even slow decision-making. I have seen this occur over and over again in my career. The larger the team, the larger the budget, the longer the timeline, the less gets accomplished. I'm very curious to see how many more tech companies come to this realization. So often, good times + revenue growth = Parkinson's Law.

@MuySuFrida @dianadi58 Hacer eso solo los pondría en un modo marrullero y hacer lo mismo que tanto critican de Morena. Mejor que se pongan a hacer leyes buenas para todos.

Claudia Sheinbaum no tiene mayoría calificada para que le acepten su solicitud de Licencia en el Congreso Local. De negársela no podría ser candidata en 2024. ¿Qué partido le dará los votos para su licencia?

@MariuzCalvetR @AsocBancosMx @fdo_soliscamara No pudo quedar en mejores manos! Felicidades!

Hoy es un día muy especial: la @AsocBancosMx anunció la creación de su nueva Comisión ASG y he sido nombrada su 1era Presidenta🍃 GRACIAS a tantas personas que han hecho posible llevar el tema a este nivel y por confiar en mí para liderar la agenda de Sustentabilidad del gremio.

@danielsmonterre Kavak está en una etapa de crecimiento acelerado impulsado por fuertes inyecciones de capital. Eso no significa que sea una empresa rentable. Seguramente seguirá perdiendo mucho dinero. Mientras siga mostrando cifras de crecimiento seguirá incrementando su valuación.

Se imaginan trabajar en uno de los primeros unicornios mexicanos, con miles de clientes al mes… y que te digan que no te toca PTU? La estrategia es reinvertir las utilidades y subir sueldos de los de arriba, para justificar que “quedaron en ceros” al final del año. 🤮

Francine (con quien hoy celebramos 12 años casados ❤️) lanzó su marca de pañuelos y accesorios en 🇲🇽 tras meses de mucho trabajo. Soy su fan y la admiro 👏🏽. Su socia la convenció de sacar una línea “matchy match” para perros, hay todo un mercado allá 🤯 francine.com.mx

@welisiejko Que maravilla!!!

Mi madre, que sufrió un ACV la noche anterior a la final del mundial, me manda fotos de su primer salida a pie por Ezpeleta luego de un mes internada y casi tres de recuperación en casa - bajo amenaza de muerte si las posteo. Próximo objetivo: visita a mi oficina en capital ❤️
