    ouch, Facebook still sliding. One shouldn’t try to pin it to data privacy or competition. And certainly don’t credit it to Zuck‘s “Time Well Spent” goal. This is what happens when trust in a brand erodes. Started in 2017. Shocking story is why advertisers want to be near it.

    I can just imagine the 300 PR people that would've screamed at Zuckerberg not to launch this, and it's still a thing. talk about tone deaf.

    Finished the new / book yesterday. Three things I plan to try with my small team: “office hours” to protect our time, “heartbeats” to mitigate FOMO, “disagree & commit” to avoid striving for consensus.

    The idea of “trust battery” is amazing. This can be applied to so many relationships. Reading “It doesn’t have to be crazy at work” feels like therapy. Some chapters are straight 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for writing about it and for coining the term.

    Facebook barely waited until the door had closed on the Instagram founders before they started trialing misuse of Instagram location data to power ever-more targeted ads. This company is a cancer.
