Our sixth newsletter explores the value of a person to a corporation.
In understanding how organizations search for ‘talent’ these days, candidates know that their first two or three hurdles will have nothing to do with people and everything to do with machines and as a result valuable time is spent in tuning their resume and cover letter with SEO like terms, so that they bubble to the top.
Do you find that as sad, bad and depressing as I do?

🎵 I have been listening to Nick Mason’s A History Of Music and Technology ... a joint production of the BBC and The Open University. Not all the way through yet, having only just finished Episode 3 - The Electric Guitar, but have to say … available in your podcast player of choice. Go for it.

Not this ‘Gong’
and definitely a lot more subtle than this gong.
Seriously - check out the Kottke link. Stunning Stuff.
🎧 🎵 archive.justgoodmusicHave to say that this chap is jolly glad that chaps like this - I’m talkin’ ‘Joe’ … are out there.
Quite apart from his very useful links that he has been quietly providing the web since 2000 - he was also instrumental in getting web mentions to work on Just Good Music and in so doing we changed the template - which I am now using over on People First.
All round good stuff - and a chap most excellent.
He wrote about why he links here.

There’s some fucking guy, scientist or something. Real sick bastard. Says he measured out the remains, the cremated remains of a dead man. Measured out the, uh, minerals left behind, you know? The iron phosphates, the … whatever it is we’re made up of. Says he added it all up to the cost of $4.40.
$4.40. Burnt down man’s worth less than a fucking Big Mac.
Michael Grey played by Liam Cunningham in The Numbers Station
I caught The Numbers Station over the weekend, and that is the opening dialogue. It resonated. I know nought of the truth - but it does seem about right.
After last week’s newsletter, and the responses, I have thought about it more and more. How we as a society spend so much … too much … time reducing anything … everything … to a value based on the component parts.
We know that the click bait mongers of the internet write stuff like this - to save you the click through it’s all about adding together the cost of the sum of the parts of an iPhone - and thus by extrapolation conclude that Apple is - as we might say in England … ‘Aving A Larf’. Total BS and nonsense but there are still people who argue that SApple are riping us off.
No - this is not a defence of Apple - but to ask a question.
Isn’t this exactly what businesses do every day week, month and year to people. You earn a salary or wage based on what they consider is your worth to them while they rent you for the 40, 50, 60 hours each week that you are in their service?
But it’s worse. The value is not just for the sum of your component parts, but actually for the sum of your component parts that they think they need, and everything else is ignored. Your component parts are what they have defined are needed to do the job that they have defined needs to be done. Everything else is of zero value.

I just read this and decided to drop in a few People First tenets to remind us all …. the problem Kevin raises is not easily fixed - it is a systemic view of how people are seen by business.
