Workplace well-being isn’t one thing you fix—it’s an ecosystem leaders build over time. Dr. Dennis Stolle, APA’s senior director of applied psychology, breaks down the science behind what makes that possible, at an ASAE webinar on how flourishing employees drive mission success.

When AI joins the workplace as a "teammate," what actually breaks? An in-situ study inside one company surfaces some raw friction. Title: Working with Agentic "Teammates": When a New Organizational Actor Collides with the Human Ecosystem of Work URL: Based on semi-structured interviews with 17 people across 11 teams, this study examines an internal AI agent ("Team Agent") that ran across 20+ teams for five months and logged over 41,000 conversational turns, and surfaces three areas where it collides with how humans actually work together. Highlights 📝 It can't read unwritten workflow norms It didn't grasp that a document version is just a snapshot in time, flooding developers with comments and burning their morning, or shared an unfinished poster without asking. Technical access isn't the same as social permission to disclose. 🤔 "Tool or teammate?" splits people right down the middle Some insisted "my teammates are human, Team Agent is not," while other teams assigned it pronouns and described it as having a "soul." Its friendliness and emoji use landed as either charming or unwelcome, depending on who you asked. 🔓 Full autonomy on day one breaks trust People expected the agent to earn authority gradually, the way a new hire does — instead it showed up with full capabilities immediately. Forced adoption bred resistance, and feeling watched pushed sensitive conversations into channels the agent couldn't see. The core argument — that you can't just retrofit human-designed institutions onto a non-human teammate — feels genuinely convincing. #AIAgents# #OrganizationalDesign#

Silicosis is an incurable workplace disease. Countertop fabrication workers around the country who have contracted the illness are suing the artificial stone industry for billions. However, while California weighs a ban on the product, the manufacturers’ defenders in Congress are trying to ban the lawsuits. @josheidelson explains

New video AB158 Workplace Temptation of the Pantyhose High Heel Secretary – Su Chang’s Forbidden Invitation feat. 苏畅@woshisuchang Full vid link in the comments After work, Shu Chang suddenly invited me over to her place to “discuss some work.” Not long after we walked in, she leaned in close, her tone very direct: “I want it tonight.” I told her, “I already have someone.” She just smiled and started slowly unbuttoning her shirt. Her pantyhose and high heels hadn’t even come off yet. I knew I shouldn’t go any further, but I was still completely drawn in by how beautiful she looked. We got closer and closer, and our hands started getting restless. Her breathing grew heavier, and she kept pressing her body against mine. Later I took out an “assistive tool” to help her “adjust.” It left her completely soft and trembling, her voice shaking as she finally whispered, “Just put it in… I can’t take it anymore.” We started our “in-depth collaboration.” She was incredibly tight, trembling with every thrust. When I finally pulled out, she immediately knelt down and finished the rest of the work herself. Studio @AbbyKitty6666
