Forcing people back to the office backfires. Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees. Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

There are 45,000 people going to the Rogers Centre today for the Toronto Blue Jays’ final series and there are no Go Trains? Metrolinx, really?

.J.D.M. Stewart book The Prime Ministers 📕 arrived today, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to crack it open than Dokis Bay - where our Canada’s story runs deep through the land itself. Grateful for the storytellers who keep our national memory alive.
