Let's Tax Remote Workers 5% Their Salary......
The story of the week is this proposal from Deutsche Bank to tax the WFH 5% of salary in order to support those who cannot do WFH. The reaction has been, fair to say, fairly emphatic, but I suspect this will be the first in a recurring wave of legislative attempts by governments i to reverse the shift to remote working. Meanwhile, governments in other regions, actively compete to do the opposite. ‘The war for talent’ is being reborn with an entirely new meaning along an entirely different axis. H/T to brainfooders Glenn Southam and Pedro Oliveira for the share in the fb group

Useful Values / Guiding Principles from Ethics
Never thought I’d share Immanuel Kant in recruiting brainfood (got an ‘F’ in Moral Philosophy…), but here I am, shouting out Mr Categorical Imperative himself. This post explains the difference between values-as-PR vs values as the ethical operating system of your business. It really is a superb piece of writing, unlike anything Mr Kant ever wrote…. CULTURE

Building a Middle Class… Algorithmically?
Fascinating analysis on the role of the ‘micro businesses’ in South East Asia, and how economic development is following a unique path according the local conditions of those markets. Lots to learn here, especially as ‘micro-entrepreneurship’ (spoiler alert: basically what brainfood is) has been recently touted as a way out of tech unemployment apocalypse. Have a read

Interviews.school
The intellectual arms race between tech candidates vs tech recruiters never ceases to fascinate me. Jumping over the fence now and again to the candidate side can be a smart way to learn about what you need to know. This ‘how to beat the tech interview’ guide book is actually really useful for tech recruiters thinking about how to structure tech assessment. ASSESSMENT

The World’s Most Influential Values, In One Graphic
What values are the most influential in the world? Across 500,000 surveys in 152 languages, we visualize a rich dataset of human motivations. Of course these are crude generalisations of individually complex, dynamic and diverse cultures…..but there’s value sometimes in one paging things. CULTURE

Great value add content from Juggle Jobs. Particularly brave in naming vendors and describing what they may be best for (glad to see several sponsors of brainfood mentioned in there btw).

How To Use Writing To Build A Solid Talent Pipeline
Love it when hiring managers write about recruiting. This CTO talks about how writing can help build talent pipeline. Note the difference in how a recruiter might otherwise have written this post. Something about the non specialist take which makes this post both refreshing and valuable. H/.T Chris Yea for the share EMPLOYER BRANDING

Bot Battle - Kuki v Blenderbot
This is an interesting experiment - a roll on / roll off ‘bot battle’ of conversational AI who compete rap battle style. It’s fascinating to observe how automated agents talk to, and learn from, each other when they do it. Future is being made and like I have said before - it isn’t waiting around for us to get comfortable with it. H/T to brainfooder Martyn Redstone for the share in the fb group. AI

Focus Will Shape The Future Of Distributed Work
Interesting research from Dropbox, whose content team are regularly finding ways to dive a little deeper than most on the implications of the shift to remote. This study on focus presents more questions than answers, but maybe the right questions are most important right now. Have a read (and see if you can make it through without being distracted) REMOTE WORKING

I’m still in London folks, and I’ve decided to set up some more tanks. Turns out a fair few of us here are also aquarists and I’m thinking we should set up some kind of subgroup so we can geek out about crustaceans as pets. Tell me if this is a good or bad idea. DM me on twitter or Instagram… On other matters, I discovered Leta Powell Drake this week, which twitter claimed was the world’s greatest ever interviewer. Having watched this video clip, I’m rather inclined to agree…. Have a great week everybody Hung
