My Beliefs and Principles

A number of people are trying to brand me as transphobic, so I thought I would list out a number of my personal beliefs so folks coming across this in the future can judge for themselves.

I believe love is love, and consenting adults should be able to have whatever form of relationship they want or don't want. I believe governments should recognize all these unions with the same rights.

I believe people should be able to change their name, gender identity, and preferred pronouns whenever they want and however many times they want. I personally endeavor to follow all these preferences that are known to me.

I support adults making any modifications to their body they like.

I support people choosing to share or keep private the above.

This is not meant to be comprehensive, and in researching this post to make sure I was using the right language to express my beliefs I read through the Yogyakarta Principles and agree with everything in that document, which is much more comprehensive.

A few other points I'll include for context and history:

Both Automattic and WordPress.org, founded or co-founded by me in 2005 and 2003 respectively, have consistently supported LGBT+ organizations, contributors, and employees.

Automattic's open time off benefit includes full pay for medical time off has supported a number of people transitioning. We've invested considerable development time in updating or working around legacy HR systems to recognize the principles above, and will continue to as best practices evolve or we find mistakes.

When we remodeled Automattic's NYC office before moving in we made the bathrooms gender neutral. Same for a commercial warehouse I've recently remodeled.

I've personally donated to LGBT+ organizations as far back as 2016, and more recently have donated mid five figures to Human Rights organizations.

I have dedicated my life since the age of 19 to open source software, which I believe to be radically inclusive, and democratizing publishing, commerce, and messaging. My hope is this work contributes, even if in a small domain-specific way, to a more fair and just society.

Thinking about some headcanons of the differences between the Agency and Zoraxis

Sticking a linebreak in here because I have no impulse control and wrote like, 700 words

The Agency:

In my eyes, they are severely underfunded. Their facilities are practically ancient. You know how your school always has that one part that hasn't been refurbished in decades? Yeah, that's pretty much their entire base of operations, no matter which location you look at.

I'd like to imagine the sense of community is either really strong or really strained. If you're working in, say, HR, I feel like you'd have a really nice bond with your coworkers. However, on the other hand, there's the EOD. I feel that they, would have a tense atmosphere. I mean, if your coworkers were dying every other day, I wouldn't really want to get attached. Even still, there are always a few EOD agents that have grown close to each other and they never deal well with the loss of their coworkers.

The Agency, however, has a very good training programme for their prospective field agents. I envision it as something like past (surviving) field agents or handlers teaching the new recruits all their tips and tricks. (and how to disarm a bomb effectively)

Everyone has absolutely horrible pay. Sure, you might be in the EOD, risking your life on a daily basis, but you'd only just be able to afford a small apartment. The higher-ups consider it almost pointless: they'd just die anyway so why waste all that precious money?

I feel that all Handlers who are ex-field agents would be best friends. They'd all joke about their numerous near-death experiences on the daily. Sort of like the fond retellings we hear Phoenix's Handler talk about over the course of the games. I think they have a shared break room of sorts near their offices.

Zoraxis:

I'd think that they have top-notch facilities- state-of-the-art shit. (they are a very successful business, after all) I'm talking fancy architecture and everything. I feel like they'd be the kind of place where they have those Dyson hand dryers and very nice-smelling soap.

Unlike the Agency, I think the Zoraxis employees/operatives would be relatively nice to each other. Their relationships wouldn't be based on their departments cause I feel like being assigned to a life-threatening mission only happens once (they almost always due to lack of experience)

However, Zoraxis has terrible training programmes. They want to save money so they just stick their new recruits into a single building and hire the cheapest self-defence teachers they can put onto a salary.

Zoraxis employees have a pretty good paycheck, all things considered. They pay a decent amount over minimum wage so most people are able to live somewhat comfortably. I feel like one of the selling points of getting a job is their ability to provide accommodation if needed. They'd have enough money to buy a few apartment blocks for their new hires.

Similarities:

Okay, be so real, they'd both suck at doing background checks. The Agency because they can't really be picky for their field agents and Zoraxis because they don't give a shit. You could be a murderer and they'd just let you walk in with no trouble. Hell, you could probably fake your documents and no one would bat an eye.

The director and Zor rarely show their faces around the building. I feel like all the employees would spread the most out-there rumours about them.

They both have some employee of the month system. Zoraxis gives them out when they remember they have it. The lucky employee gets a little certificate and a small bonus on their next paycheck. At the Agency, Phoenix just has, like, so many. It's like, twenty picture frames in a row and yes, there is absolutely no variation in selected images, just the Agency-mandated ID photo everyone takes on their first day. They get nothing for it, just the gift of staring at their mug every time they are forced to wait for their Handler outside his office.

10 Essential Items to Bring for Every Successful Job Interview in Nigeria

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially when you want everything to go perfectly. From researching common interview questions to practicing your responses, you put in the effort to prepare. However, many candidates overlook an important aspect: what to bring to the interview.

If you're getting ready for an interview in Nigeria, this guide will ensure you have everything you need for a smooth and successful experience. Here’s a checklist of the 10 essential items to bring for every job interview.

1. Hard Copy of Your Resume

This might seem obvious, but always carry a printed copy of your resume. Many employers request a physical resume even if you've submitted one online. Ensure it's printed on good-quality paper and neatly placed in a file to avoid wrinkles. Additionally, keep a soft copy on your phone or email, just in case you need to send it again.

2. Academic and Professional Certificates

Employers in Nigeria often ask for proof of your qualifications. Carry copies of your academic degrees, professional certifications, and other relevant documents. It’s best to keep them organized in a folder so you can quickly retrieve them if asked.

3. Portfolio of Your Work (If Applicable)

If you're applying for roles such as graphic designer, photographer, architect, writer, or any creative field, having a portfolio is crucial. You can print some of your best works or save them on a tablet or laptop to present them digitally.

4. Copies of Important Documents

Before your interview, confirm with the HR department if they require any specific documents. However, as a rule of thumb, always carry:

Experience letters from previous employers

Cover letters tailored to the role

Reference letters from past supervisors

NYSC certificate (for Nigerian graduates)

5. List of Professional References

Having a reference list shows preparedness. Some employers may want to contact people who can vouch for your skills and character. Include the names, job titles, companies, phone numbers, and emails of at least two or three professional references.

6. Office Address and Contact Information

Nigeria’s unpredictable traffic and road network can make navigation tricky. To avoid delays, write down the office address and contact number in case your phone battery dies or GPS fails. It’s also a good idea to leave early to avoid unforeseen delays.

7. Valid Identification Card

Most offices in Nigeria have strict security policies. You may be required to show a valid ID before entering the premises. Carry your National ID, driver’s license, international passport, or voter’s card for easy access.

8. A List of Questions for the Interviewer

An interview is a two-way street. The employer is evaluating you, but you should also assess the company. Prepare a list of insightful questions such as:

What are the company’s core values?

What are the key performance expectations for this role?

What opportunities exist for professional growth within the company?

9. Water Bottle and Light Snacks

Nigeria’s weather can be hot, and you might spend time waiting before your interview starts. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and, if needed, a small snack like biscuits or fruit to keep your energy levels up.

10. Confidence and a Positive Attitude

Your attitude plays a crucial role in making a great first impression. Nigerian employers appreciate candidates who exude confidence, professionalism, and enthusiasm. Keep a positive mindset, make eye contact, and believe in your abilities.

Bonus Tips for a Successful Interview

Carry essential stationery. Bring a pen and a small notepad to jot down important points.

Dress appropriately. Even if the company has a casual dress code, aim for professional attire. For men, a neat suit or corporate shirt and trousers are ideal. For women, a formal dress or blazer with a skirt/trousers works well. ChatGPT can also help you decide on the best outfit based on the company culture and industry.

Choose a neat bag. A well-organized bag ensures your documents remain in good condition.

Research the company. Visit their website and social media pages to understand their mission, values, and culture.

Final Thoughts

Preparing for a job interview goes beyond rehearsing answers. Ensuring you have all the necessary documents and essentials can significantly improve your chances of success. Use this checklist to stay organized and confident as you step into your next job interview in Nigeria.

Best of luck!

The Employer’s Playbook: Correcting Employee Misclassification

Navigating the labyrinth of labor laws, tax responsibilities, and HR best practices can sometimes feel like a full-contact sport for business owners. One of the significant challenges in this game is correctly classifying your personnel as either employees or independent contractors. Misclassification can result in dire consequences, including hefty fines and back taxes. In this detailed guide, we’ll break down why correct classification is critical, how to spot misclassification, and what to do if you find you’ve been playing on the wrong team.

What Is Employee and Independent Contractor Classification?

Before we draw battle lines, it’s essential to understand the various types of personnel at your disposal. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) each have their own criteria for what constitutes an employee versus an independent contractor. Employees typically work under the direction and control of an employer, whereas contractors maintain their independence, controlling when, where, and how the work is done. The distinction is vital because it affects how you pay taxes, allocate benefits, and protect your business from legal disputes.

Employers often prefer to engage workers as independent contractors because it:

Reduces administrative overhead

Eliminates the need to provide employee benefits

Allows for more flexible staffing arrangements

However, misclassification can open a Pandora’s box of unforeseen liabilities.

5 Indicators of Employee vs. Contractor Misclassification

The lines between employees and independent contractors can seem blurry, but certain indicators can clearly point one way or the other. Here are five indicators to watch for:

The Business's Degree of Control

The more control a business exercises over the work being done – including the manner and means of the work – the more likely the worker should be classified as an employee.

Financial Control

When the business controls significant aspects of a worker’s financial affairs, such as setting the pay rate or providing tools and materials, it’s a strong indication of an employer-employee relationship.

Investment in Facilities

If the worker has a significant investment in things like office space or equipment, they're more likely to be a contractor.

Opportunity for Profit or Loss

Contractors typically have the potential to make a profit or suffer a financial loss, while employees are often insulated from business fluctuations.

Permanency of the Relationship

An ongoing, indefinite working relationship suggests an employer-employee relationship. Contracts that specify a defined project or time frame lean more toward independent contractor status.

By assessinging these factors, you can catch early signs of misclassification and protect your business from unnecessary risk.

How to Correct Employee Misclassification

Discovering that you’ve misclassified workers can be a daunting reality, yet there is a path to rectification. Here are the vital steps to correct the course:

Identify the Misclassified Workers

The first step to fixing a problem is recognizing its existence. Audit your workforce to determine the scope of the misclassification.

Re-Evaluate Workforce Hiring Practices

Once the misclassified workers are identified, reassess how and why they were classified as independent contractors. Ensure your classification practices adhere to legal guidelines moving forward.

Adjust for Prior Compensation and Tax Withholding Errors

Correct any erroneous payroll tax filings and ensure all relevant taxes are appropriately withheld and paid.

Communicate Changes Transparently

Notify affected workers of the status change and what it means for their compensation and benefits.

Implement Corrective Policies

Establish clear policies and procedures for future worker classification, including documentation of the basis for classification.

By following these steps, you’ll mitigate the immediate damage and establish a framework for avoiding future misclassification issues.

5 Factors to Calculate Employee Misclassification Costs

Once you’ve acknowledged misclassification, it’s time to tally the costs. Knowing what you’re up against can help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Back Pay and Overtime

Misclassified employees may be owed back wages and overtime pay if they were treated as contractors when they should have been deemed employees.

Unemployment and Workers Compensation

Your business may be responsible for past and future payments associated with unemployment and workers compensation benefits.

Tax Adjustments

The IRS can penalize you for failing to withhold and match taxes appropriately for employees. You’ll need to amend past returns and address any unpaid tax liabilities.

Fines and Fees

In addition to the back taxes, the IRS or DOL may levy fines for misclassifications. These penalties can be substantial and vary depending on the number of employees involved and the severity of the violation.

Legal Costs

If an employee brings a lawsuit against your business due to misclassification, you’ll also need to factor in legal fees, settlement costs, and potential damage awards.

By factoring in these costs, you’ll be better equipped to map out how to best address the misclassification with the least amount of impact.

Navigating the complexities of employee classification is not for the faint of heart. However, staying informed about the indicators of misclassification and understanding how to rectify errors can save you immeasurable headaches down the line. Compliance isn’t always simple, but it is non-negotiable. Your workforce — and your bottom line — will thank you for these proactive measures.

In the fast-paced world of business, agility and foresight are your strongest allies. Knowing how to respond to misclassification can transform a potential pitfall into a learning opportunity. By understanding the rules and diligently auditing your practices, you can ensure that your team — both on the field and off — is set up for success.

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

I can't and won't speak for everyone, but your list is right and you should say it because

1. Everyone's birthday is in my phone calendar which is great until I lose or break a phone and have to quietly ask everyone to tell me again so I can re-add them, which is why I also now have a private Telegram channel to document birthdays

2. This simply does not happen. What you do, is you always have a backup plan for if the whole crew can't make it that people are okay missing, and you bump the everyone together plan to the next date night and also everyone RIGIDLY protects the once a month movie night from everything and everyone because that is the only way it ever works

3. Honestly, it basically looks the same as what happens when you and your best friend both get dumped in the same month, so. Not as unusual as you'd think, but my god ehat the emotional eating does to the grocery bill......

4. First you try to see if they want it sent to them. If you hate them, you send it badly packed. If you're trying to be friendly you pack it well. If you're the asshole you just don't send it and it probably gets destroyed or thrown out but if it's useful, we had a lottery system for found objects so I imagine that'd work here too.

5. Hahahahahhahahahahha. Haha. No, the best you'll get is "themed", but you'll have way more fun than you think giving it the ol college try

6. My mother had a rule: never date more than 4 people at once if you ever want to sleep again, and always have at least n-1 toilets in the house where n equals the number of people living there. My mother was a polyamorous lesbian and an engineer of various technical sorts, and while she was frequently insane she was also always practical and I have followed this advice religiously.

7. My mother was also quite adament that everyone who lived in a house should, if at all possible, be given dominion over 1 room, which meant it was theirs now amd everyone spending time in it had to respect their rules and expectations for it. Ideally these were all bedrooms but I did once lay claim to a bathroom with a tub in it because early onsent arthritis is a bitch, and no one argued with me about it so that was great. Point is, it's actually pretty rare for everyone to sleep together in one bed/room regardless of the weather. I know at least one polycule with a scheduled bed rotation lol

8. Locker cabinets are great for this. Everyone's special foods can go in their lil mini fridge or pantry box or whatever and I guess you could actually lock it if you feel like it, I preferred color-coded glitter bomb booby traps from a logistical stand point tho.

9. Whoever is the loudest about their misophonia in the bedroom gets to propose a "snacking cutoff" which must be negotiated/agreed by all parties but cannot be summarily dismissed or ignored. Mine is 12am on school nights.

10. Accountability is a process, not a static guarantee. Keeping the pathways of communication open and learning how to acknowledge our own involvement in the process of conflict is key. And sometimes you wake up one day and go "oh shit are we a cult?" And you pack your shit, drive 14 hrs south across multiple state lines, and then spend a few years in therapy until you hop back in the dating pool. Hypothetically, of course.

11. One big trip. You can invite multiple people to a family instacart account these days! Or of course you can go old school with the refrigerator grocery list everyone gets to add to. Personally, we tried to do expenses by income ratio, you know? If someone was 13% of the income, they paid about 13% of the expenses. 40% of the income? About 40% of the expenses. That sort of thing. Shared expense auto-pay accounts everyone deposits their portion of income into are helpful for this.

12. We had a basement fridge. It was very old and largely non-functional, but it DID still refridgerate at least. Everyone gets a shelf in the main fridge and the basement fridge. Definitely need a chest freezer tho, I ain't gonna lie.

15. The person who did the dishes was absolutely not dating any of us lmao, but if you wash the dishes you damn well get to stick around

Things that I imagine must be really hard about being in a polycule

Remembering everyone's birthday

Scheduling a group date night where everyone's free

A bad breakup where someone leaves and everyone's messed up about it. Like if it was just me I could wallow in solitude but like damn what do you even do. Talk shit?

Related to 3 but if someone breaks up from the polycule and leaves their stuff behind then who gets dibs. Is it like by seniority or do you draw straws or what

Finding a group Halloween costume that everyone is equally hyped for

Sharing a bathroom if you all live in the same place

Idk about this one but what's the sleeping situation in the summer. Like in the winter having a group pile sounds cozy as fuck but in the summer?? When it's sweaty and awful??? Bruh I'm on the couch

I don't trust ANYONE not to eat my Nutella and for every extra person there's an additional threat I must calculate my defense against

How do you tell someone in the 'cule they need to stop eating pretzel sticks in bed without it feeling like an intervention. Is there an assigned emissary that speaks on behalf of the collective. Again, do you just draw straws? Drawing straws seems like a really good solution to a lot of these actually huh

Is there some kind of self-evaluation system that holds yall back from accidentally becoming a cult do yall just see Kim head out for a date in a white robe one morning and roll with it

Does everyone do their own grocery shopping or is it all like one big trip?

Is there enough room in the fridge for everyone's stuff or does the one with the deepfreeze reign eternal like immortan joe

If I was in a polycule and we all collectively stopped being attracted to the person who genuinely enjoys washing dishes then I don't think I'd be able to break it off with them I think I'd have to just handle that with god

How Corporate Teams Can Apply for Group Business Visas Efficiently

A guide for HRs and admin managers handling multi-member business travel applications.

Managing visa applications for an entire corporate team can be a complex and time-sensitive task. Whether it’s for a conference, client meeting, training session, or trade event, Human Resources and Administration managers must handle multiple applications while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and coordination. This guide outlines an efficient, step-by-step process to help companies apply for group business visas without delays or errors.

Why Group Business Visa Applications Matter

When multiple employees are traveling together for the same purpose, processing visas as a coordinated group can save time, streamline documentation, and reduce individual errors. Some embassies even offer group appointment slots or collective application processing for corporate travelers.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for Group Business Visas

1. Create a Centralized Document Checklist

Start by preparing a universal document checklist that applies to all traveling team members. Typical documents include:

Valid passport (with sufficient validity and blank pages)

Recent passport-size photos

Individual visa application forms

Business invitation letter from the host organization

Company cover letter specifying each member’s role and travel purpose

Proof of financial support (sponsored by the company)

Travel itinerary and accommodation bookings

Tip: Assign one coordinator (typically HR/Admin) to gather and verify all documents.

2. Draft a Group Cover Letter

Instead of submitting individual cover letters, prepare a single consolidated group cover letter from your company. This letter should outline:

The reason for travel

A list of all team members with their designations

Duration of the visit

Confirmation of company sponsorship for expenses

Tip: Use official company letterhead, include a signature from a senior executive, and attach the employee list.

3. Book Group Appointment Slots (If Available)

Some embassies or VFS centers allow group appointments to simplify the process. Booking a single slot for the team can ensure consistency in application timelines and reduce the risk of delays.

Tip: Check the embassy website or consult with a visa expert to know which countries support group processing.

4. Ensure Consistency Across Applications

Inconsistencies in forms, mismatched travel dates, or varied purposes of visit across team applications can lead to rejections or delays.

Tip: Cross-verify all forms and supporting documents before submission. Use a single travel plan for the entire group unless otherwise required.

5. Track and Communicate Updates

Once applications are submitted, track them using individual reference numbers. Maintain open communication with the team to share updates, expected timelines, and any action needed post-submission.

Additional Best Practices

Use an internal checklist system to mark verified submissions.

Prepare for interviews (if required) with a shared FAQ document.

Keep both physical and digital copies of all documents.

Group visa applications, when managed with structure and foresight, can significantly reduce stress and ensure timely approvals. HRs and admin teams play a vital role in facilitating smooth business travel logistics for the entire organization.

Professional Employer Organization Canada – bridgewaterti.com

In today's competitive and compliance-driven business environment, managing HR functions internally can be time-consuming, costly, and complex—especially for companies expanding into new markets like Canada. This is where a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in Canada becomes an invaluable partner. At BridgewaterTI.com, businesses find a trusted ally that simplifies employment, HR compliance, payroll, and workforce management through tailored PEO solutions.

What Is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a firm that provides comprehensive HR services to businesses. These services typically include payroll processing, tax administration, employee benefits, HR compliance, risk management, and more. Essentially, a PEO becomes a co-employer, sharing employer responsibilities with the client company.

In the Canadian context, a PEO Canada solution allows foreign and domestic companies to quickly and compliantly hire talent without setting up a legal entity. This is particularly advantageous for businesses looking to test the Canadian market, hire remote employees, or manage short-term projects.

Why Choose a PEO in Canada?

Canada offers a highly skilled workforce, stable economy, and favorable business climate. However, its provincial labor laws, bilingual documentation requirements, and strict payroll compliance rules can pose challenges for businesses unfamiliar with local regulations.

A Canadian Professional Employer Organization like BridgewaterTI simplifies this complexity by handling:

Local payroll and tax filings according to provincial and federal laws.

Benefits administration, including healthcare, pension contributions, and paid leave.

Employment contracts tailored to Canadian labor standards.

International companies looking to expand into Canada without opening a branch office.

Consulting firms managing short-term projects in Canada.

SMEs needing HR support but not yet ready to build a full internal HR team.

Maximize Safety and Efficiency with Advanced Safety Collaboration Software

The Importance of Safety Collaboration Software

In today’s fast-paced workplace, ensuring safety is of utmost importance. With an ever-increasing focus on accident prevention and regulatory compliance, organizations are turning to technology for solutions. This is where safety collaboration software comes into play. These innovative tools enhance communication, streamline processes, and help create a safer work environment through collaborative efforts across various teams. Understanding how these systems operate and the primary benefits they offer is essential for organizational leaders and safety officers alike.

Understanding Safety Collaboration Software

Safety collaboration software refers to a suite of tools designed to help organizations manage their safety practices by fostering communication, data sharing, and efficient incident tracking. Such platforms enable employees to report safety issues, track compliance, and communicate in real-time, significantly reducing the chances of accidents or breaches in safety protocols. These systems not only serve as reporting tools but also provide analytics that help organizations improve overall safety standards.

Benefits of Implementing Safety Solutions

Implementing safety collaboration software carries numerous benefits for organizations. Here are a few:

Enhanced Communication: These tools allow for instant communication about safety concerns, ensuring that issues are addressed quickly.

Challenges Addressed by Collaboration Tools

Safety collaboration software addresses several key challenges organizations face in maintaining a safe working environment:

Isolation of Information: Traditionally, safety data was siloed within departments, leading to poor communication. Collaboration software bridges these gaps.

Custom Reporting Templates: Enabling organizations to create specific reports tailored to regulatory requirements.

User Roles and Permissions: Different users may need access to different types of information, and customizable roles enhance security and efficiency.
