Both The Times and Sky News have reported on a landmark ruling from the Office for Students (OfS), which has fined the University of Sussex a record £585,000 for “serious and significant” free speech failings in the case of Professor Kathleen Stock, accused of ‘transphobia' for her gender-critical views. Professor Stock was forced out of the university in 2021 after a three-year campaign of bullying and character assassination. The OfS's report denounces Sussex's “trans and non-binary equality” statement for undermining academic freedom and creating a “chilling effect”. The report goes on: “An example of this effect in practice is the experience of Professor Stock. There were some views she did not feel able to express, and therefore teach, despite those views being lawful. Other staff and students may have felt similarly unable to express these, or other, lawful views.” Sussex's Vice-Chancellor Sasha Roseneil reacted furiously, accusing the OfS of “free speech absolutism”. In our next item, reported in The Telegraph, we discuss an inclusivity guide issued to employees of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) says that the “myth of meritocracy” asserts “race does not play a role in life successes” – and that the “belief that performance alone will be enough to earn recognition [and] promotion” can be a “microaggression”. In fact, even just saying “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” can count as “racial harassment”. We end with the news that Rangers FC is threatening lifetime bans after a group of fans displayed a banner reading “KEEP WOKE FOREIGN IDEOLOGIES OUT DEFEND EUROPE” during a recent Europa League tie at Ibrox. UEFA swiftly fined Rangers £25,000, describing the banner as “racist and/or discriminatory”. The story is discussed in Spiked by our digital communications director, Freddie Attenborough. If you're a Rangers fan under investigation – or know someone who is – contact the FSU at help@freespeechunion.org. We end the episode with a round-up of forthcoming FSU events. ‘That's Debatable!'  is edited by Jason Clift.

Plus, they get real about juggling careers and motherhood in a fast-paced, male-dominated industry.Honest, funny, and full of actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone in workplace design or leadership.Oh, and Pop Into Excellence kicks off on May 5th!

It's a big week in Houston with NAPE in town, and we were thrilled to welcome our good friend David Bat, President of Kimberlite Research, for an in-depth discussion of the latest OFS activity, trends, and technologies. David joined Kimberlite in 2015 and holds over 30 years of experience spanning upstream, power, and oilfield research. Kimberlite is a global oil and gas market research and consulting firm that gathers insights from more than 20,000 hours of annual interviews with industry professionals to analyze market trends and benchmark performance for oilfield equipment and service providers. We were excited to hear David's perspectives on the evolving OFS landscape.In our conversation, David provides background on Kimberlite's unique approach to gathering high-quality data from E&P operators and oilfield service users worldwide. He explains how their methodology offers deeper insights into technology adoption, service quality, and operational performance and walks us through key slides from a presentation (full version linked here). We explore recent technological advancements including rotary steerable systems improving drilling efficiency, self-oriented perforating guns enhancing completion effectiveness, and advancements in electric submersible pumps. We discuss how digitalization, software applications, and AI-driven analytics are reshaping oilfield operations as well as trends in frac technology, oilfield electrification, and shifts in fuel choices. David shares factors driving operator recommendations and highlights the contrast between North American and international markets, the potential for unconventional growth in Argentina, Australia, and the Middle East, the resurgence of offshore developments, and the challenges that prevent certain innovations from gaining widespread traction. We explore broader key industry themes, including consolidation trends in oilfield services, how company culture influences service provider success, the growing role of mobile power solutions across both oil and gas and non-energy sectors, and AI's role in data aggregation, market intelligence, and operational decision-making. We end by asking David for his vision of the oil and gas services industry in the next decade. This is where he makes a great comment about "differentiation and an improving competitive moat" around the best companies. It was a wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion and we're very grateful to David for sharing his expertise with us.

Think working as an Online Filipino Specialist (OFS) was always the dream job? It wasn't. Fifteen years ago, being an OFS was misunderstood, and many workers faced stigma from their families and communities. Today, it's The New Filipino Dream Job. In this episode, I'm breaking it all down. We'll talk about how online work in the Philippines went from being looked down on to becoming a respected career. You'll learn why staying home as an OFS is now a better option than working abroad as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) and how online jobs are reuniting families and transforming lives. I'll also share a real-life story—my son's experience living in the Philippines—where he saw firsthand how job scarcity forces people to leave their loved ones just to make a living. He also saw how online work is changing everything, helping families stay together while earning a great income. You'll learn how to create dream job conditions for your OFS, build trust for long-term success, and make a real difference in their lives while growing your business.
