I saw this online this morning and thought I'd share it here. So many of us are starting over. Some of us forced to do so. Some of us choosing to do so.
For whatever reason -there is plenty of reason to be excited not scared about it. In entrepreneurship we often talk about how failures are just a path to success. Each time a journey ends, or experiment fails -there is learning. The only sad thing would be if one did not build on that learning.
So if you are in the start-over camp. You got this!

Onwards & upwards
Let’s make it a great one for ourselves AND each other!
Quick reminder to be kind when shopping and running around this week. Especially on the shopping day people call 'black friday'. (btw, am I the only one who dislikes that name?).
We all have an opportunity to spread joy and love - not only to our loved ones over Thanksgiving dinner, but also to all the great workers serving us in stores, restaurants, and deliveries. Let's remember to prioritize empathy and kindness to our fellow workers we encounter.
Worker empowerment starts with supporting one another. We know that many places are understaffed and overworked. So when things go wrong out there, lets pause to remember its not that frontline hero's fault. And they prob had to deal with customers that do NOT remember that - so what a chance to help make their day better.
Check out this page for some quick info of a survey we did - over 60% are worried about safety on black Friday. Lets step up and support one another. And lets spread some good Holiday joy!

No question our system is out of balance. Everyone sees it. Even CEO's of the biggest companies agree. For example, in 2019 210 of them signed a pledge to pursue 'stakeholder capitalism' not just shareholder value mantra as a guiding principle" . And yet, not much has changed for the better since then - other than our collective realization during the pandemic that we need to accelerate the change.
So Unions are gaining ground. And the media is paying attention.
Jobcase has a mission to empower workers. Our intent is to provide this platform where we all can get help from each other and from tools we will keep building and curating. Help to figure out that next step - however, each of us may define it (education, a better job, different job, etc). But empowerment also means having the system itself be more supportive.
So Jobcase has a responsibility to advocate on a macro policy level for workers -and we are on it! Our main approach will be collective consumerism. We talk about it here. We have over 20 million registered members active in our Jobcase network every month. Imagine if we all collectively spent our consumer dollars on employers who treat workers best. The rest would HAVE to improve conditions as well.
But to do so we need to define a good employer (from worker's view), measure it, surface them, and reward them.
Fast Company asked us recently to explain it all - here it is.
So please know -while we keep investing to make this platform serve you better, we also are working to advocate for you in policy and board rooms.
Because when we get together, we get ahead! #GetTogetherGetAhead

Check out our new brand campaign we are starting to run in certain markets! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxgyIeENXYI
We are building jobcase to be a place where people help one another get ahead. A place with tools and community to help you figure out and achieve that next step in ones work-life. We have a lot of work ahead of us to reach our full aspirations, but we are humbled by how the community is already helping each other get ahead, and prideful and optimistic when we see the scale of Jobcasers that are landing better jobs.
Sooo, its exciting to see our first brand campaign capture what Jobcase is all about - check it out! whadayathink? #GetTogetherGetAhead
