John C. Welch

If you’re going to be offended by Peter Theil’s “rich makes right” schtick, why wait until now?

“the republican party is the party of personal Respon” “BILLY BUSH MADE ME DO IT, IT’S HIS FAULT” “oh christ”

There are days when I'm convinced I could communicate solely in song lyrics

Oh I wish you could meet my girlfriend, my girlfriend who lives in Canada! Her name is Alberta, she comes from Vancouver! https://twitter.com/abbiewastaken/status/787951231247458304 …

Donald trump is unable to resist even modest peer pressure. That's what *I* want in a president. Wonder if he'll eat anything for $1?https://twitter.com/CNN/status/788125579983945732 …

Luckily, they haven’t sent anything with actual private/medical data. But still.

I wish KentuckyOne Health had a contact for when they keep sending info to the wrong person. Jennifer Welch is not getting these emails.

If you move away from a place because staying is inconvenient to your life, you might want to not bag on anyone for lacking heart or loyalty

So this may be one of those problems that just isn’t properly solveable. Which is why I don’t listen, in any form of regularity to podcasts.

…there’s a good solution. Transcripts are rarely good to read (we do speak differently than we write) and they’re tedious to generate.

…of a speaker, especially where I don’t know the person is a lot of work for me. I end up having to take notes. I’m also not sure…

…sucks ass as a process. Especially if it’s a streaming podcast and you’ve shitty internet. Also, retaining info from a voice coming out…

Podcasts, while better for information density in terms of metadata, are also agonizing. They only work well at one speed, and “re-reading”…

The current focus on podcasts is something I see as a problem. I read really fast. I retain read information really well.

(i’m up early on a sunday, I’m a bit bored and rambling)

(it is fairly obvious I was never meant for HR)

By removing humans as much as possible from the system, humans are allowed to keep their stupid bullshit intact and never change.

…to a desire to avoid in form of change in the people involved. So if something bad happens, it was a bug in the “code” as it were.

and there’s a part of me that thinks the drive to create ever more layers of process in hiring and employee relations is due, in large part…

…as history is unimportant in a field where you’re retiring at 27 and considered dead by 35 unless you’re the CEO.
