From Commune : “In this society, there’s an assumption which shows up in how we talk about things. So when somebody does something selfish or greedy, what do we say: ‘Oh, that’s just human nature.’ But there’s an assumption in that about human nature. Interestingly enough, it’s rarely the case that somebody does something generous or kind or supportive, that people say, ‘Oh that’s just human nature.

It might also be something more personal. Recent bad news or a concern about your job or industry may have you spiraling downward. A common response to that feeling is to spend far too much time on social media.

One person starts a conversation with their neighbor, and a few check their phones. You could either ignore these reactions and plow forward, or you could use it to inform your next move, says Jacqueline Farrington, author of The Non-Obvious Guide to Better Presentations.

Working in the nonprofit sector for over a decade really burned me out. Today, I run my own purpose-driven consultancy and a social impact startup, and I’m more energized than ever. Compared to the constant wheel-spinning grind of nonprofit life, running two companies actually doesn’t feel like that big of a lift. I have the privilege of choosing my own teams, setting standards of work quality, and being intolerant when those standards aren’t met.

But major tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Instagram have cut workers this month.  Citibank was one of the first big banks to announce layoffs this year, as many banks reported lower Q4 profits.
