Important Social Blade Security Notice

Important Security Notice   We put the security and privacy of our users at the forefront of everything we do, which is why we're sad to inform you that our website was recently the victim of a security breach. What happened Due to a vulnerability in our 3rd party forum software, attackers were able to obtain a partial database dump that included user email addresses, IP addresses, and encrypted password information. What we're doing Upon learning about the incident, we immediately patched the security issue by making the conscious decision to remove our forum entirely. In the interest of precaution, we're requiring each user to reset their password. You can do so using the link below. Reset your password now →   If you used to same password anywhere else, we highly recommend you change your password on those sites as well. Moving forward We're committed to maintaining a safe and secure website, and we hope you'll continue to bestow your trust in us. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to open a support ticket. Regards, The Social Blade Team

Seth's Blog : Function (and the dysfunctional organization)

Function (and the dysfunctional organization)

Here's how you end up with a bully in a position of authority at an organization:

Someone points out that the bully is a real problem. And the boss says, "I know he's a bully, but he's really productive and we can't afford to replace him."

And here's how you end up with a naysayer, or a toxic co-worker:

Someone points out that people are afraid to work with this person. And the boss says, "I know, but we really need her expertise."

And, person by person, trait by trait, we build a broken organization because we believe that function trumps cooperation, inspiration and care.

Until it doesn't, and then, all we've got left is a mess.

The negative people who do nothing functional are an easy decision. It's the little compromises around people who seem to add value that corrupt what we seek to create.

Build a team of people who work together, who care and who learn and you'll end up with the organization you deserve. Build the opposite and you also get what you deserve.

Function is never an excuse for a dysfunctional organization, because we get the organization we compromise for.
