Hi there,  
We're getting closer to the holiday season, which means we can all look forward to spending some  
quality time with our friends and family.  
Besides being a great way to refuel, the time we take off  
sometimes has an interesting history   especially

the way we came up with the weekend  
dot  
Today, we're constantly rethinking our policies, sometimes leading to unlimited holidays or a 3 day  
weekend.  
Studies have shown that happiness can make us more productive, which is a win win for  
companies and employees.  
Rethinking the way we work is critical to creating a better future  
that's why we love sharing fresh viewpoints with you every two weeks.  
All good things,  
Team

Leaders don't hide behind data  
  
MIT Sloan Review  
The employee time clock was invented over a century ago, and while you might not see one in your  
office, companies are still tracking when you work with digital means.  
Today, managers have  
unprecedented insight into the work their teams are producing, but this also makes it easier for  
leaders to let themselves be blinded by data.  
Seth Godin explains why he thinks tools can help us,  
but they shouldn't come in the way of real leadership.

Fortune 500, or the expanding wage gap. But change might be easier to achieve than you think.

The gig economy is crashing  
  
Thinknum  
There's something interesting happening on freelance job platform Upwork.  
The total number of jobs  
on the site dropped 30 percent  over the last few weeks, which is leaving the its members strapped for  
jobs.  
As it turns out, the culprit could be recent California legislation that forces companies to  
treat them like normal employees   and it's not looking good for the future.

Stories for a better world of work  
  
Culture First  
One of the best ways to tell a story is by recording a podcast.  
But while you can find everything  
from true crime to daily news, there haven't been a lot about work and culture.  
That's why we can't  
wait for Culture First, a podcast that will share what else it takes to build a better world of  
work.  
The first episode about relationships in the workplace is launching on December 4th, but you  
can already sign up today.
