My Year-End List
We have lost our minds, but we may also be losing our hearts. Lamenting the ease with which we tear into others. Borrowing a verse from the song “My Grown-Up Christmas List” to fit the theme.

WBI Podcast 21: Explaining the reluctance to help those less fortunate
Friday, October 28th, 2011
Podcast 21:
Our Reluctance to Help the Less Fortunate Than Ourselves
Two authors of an academic paper wrote an article for non-scientists in Scientific American called the Last Place Aversion Paradox: The surprising psychology of the Occupy Wall Street protests. The authors note that since the recession began in 2008, public support for economic redistribution (raising the minimum wage) has fallen.
I describe the paradox in this Podcast.

Podcast 19: Typical Workplace Bullying Scenario
Friday, April 29th, 2011
Podcast 19:
Typical Workplace Bullying Scenario
As bullied targets know all too well, they are not believed when they eventually tell their story. How can this happen? How can others be so incredulous? In this podcast, I describe the lengthy process that leads to the destruction of a thoroughly competent veteran worker.
Share this audio with disbelievers, whether they are in your family or at work. Hopefully, it helps. And as always, remember that targets did not invite the misery upon themselves. No rational person would.

Top-Down/Shut-Up Workplace Breed Disaster
Who says workplace culture doesn’t matter? When oil platform engineers tried to warn BP about potential risks of rushing installation of the well without adequate safety checks, they were told to shut up. The environment and the entire Gulf economy pay. In bullying-prone workplaces, the rules always dictate command and control from the top, no use even raising concerns, you’ll have your head handed to you.
