    Margaux Miller is the Global Director of Community at Toptal, a podcast host, emcee, and remote professional. She is focused on engaging Toptal's fully remote worldwide network of freelance talent. Margaux has much experience building networks and leading community engagement—including her passionate involvement supporting women in tech. Margaux shares insights about the importance of community to create connection and belonging—across fully remote and hybrid teams and organizations. She explains how to build strong community engagement without competition and meet core human relationship needs.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [02:20] Margaux decides she wants to be a background actor and gets into voice acting very early.   [03:58] Margaux side hustles as the voice of a cartoon for two years while at university.   [05:17] Recording all your lines alone can be challenging!   [06:28] Margaux starts in experiential marketing, quickly leading large teams.   [07:39] Community is a group of people with mutual concern for one another's welfare.   [09:13] Margaux describes the broad set of skills required for effective community building.   [10:49] Margaux finds her passion building a community for women in technology, combining multiple communities.   [14:04] Trust is a critical for a community to thrive together with clear identity and rewarded participation which all need continuous practice.   [16:43] Distributed communities get stronger during the pandemic as behaviors change.   [18:36] How to maintain a community at a completely remote company.   [20:13] Toptal's values are discussed in interviews to assure a good mutual cultural match.   [22:03] A community needs a clear boundary or it's a mob!   [23:26] How Margaux keeps a global community engaged to retain Toptal's talent network.   [25:32] Connecting people with similar skill sets but in non-competitive ways yields beneficial results.   [27:56] Pulse surveys are one key tool for managing a 140+-multinational diverse community.   [31:24] Margaux advises how create a level playing field to bridge the potential divides of hybrid models.   [33:10] How equitable rule and tools establish new norms to engage fully remote and hybrid workers.   [34:45] Why protocols matter and need to be followed.   [36:34] The biggest benefit of regular in-person gatherings is to reinforce existing relationships.   [39:38] The importance of local connection and communities, which Toptal fosters actively for employees.   [43:08] Where does culture end and community begin?   [44:13] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To build and strengthen community and belonging, create occasions and environments that are open and accessible for everyone to get involved: design events and spaces where people are encouraged to have fun and build connections. Generate activity with multi-level stakeholders on board, joining in to show it's safe to share, and reward participation.   [48:11] As a remote professional, Margaux feels the world is her oyster!     RESOURCES   Margaux Miller on LinkedIn Margaux on X @MargauxAMiller Margaux on Instagram Margaux on YouTube      QUOTES (edited)   “For it to be truly a community, there has to be a mutual concern for one another's welfare. Or you could frame it another way to say, a community is a group of people who care about each other and feel they belong together.”   “It goes identity, trust, and participation. When you get people to trust you they're going to come and do the thing: come to the mixer or the event or whatever, be part of the online chat. And then you need to reward them for that behavior.”   “I think that people would be surprised by how much humans want to connect with one another in non-competitive ways. People do truly want human connection, even introverts.”   “People stay with companies so often because of their managers or because of the team that they're on, not necessarily the company, but it's often that group that they're within, that micro-community.”   “Everyone has to be equal at the official event. If you cannot have a level playing field, don't do it. I've seen bosses of small companies take people out for a big dinner and just give everyone a gift card if they can't come. It's not equivalent, you've created a hierarchy now of how people can connect with you as the boss.”

    Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: the micro-fulfillment cambrian explosion, published by bhauth on December 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Warehouse automation has been very successful. Here's a typical modern system. As you can see, a tall narrow robot rides on a single rail at the top and bottom. The linked example is up to 42m tall. Items are stored on top of pallets, and the robot has a telescoping fork, which might be able to handle 2-deep pallets to improve space efficiency. Stores are much less automated than warehouses. When you go to a Walmart or Aldi or Ikea, they don't usually have robots in the back - let alone smaller stores. There are now many companies selling automation systems for smaller items and smaller spaces. That's called micro-fulfillment, hereafter "MF". There are many different configurations being developed and marketed, which indicates that people haven't yet figured out the best approach. Here are some approaches I'm aware of. Kiva/Amazon Robots lift an entire rack from below, by driving under it then spinning while turning a ball screw lifter. The rack is carried to a human picker who typically transfers several items. This system was developed by Kiva, which was bought by Amazon and renamed; it now has several clones. Here's a teardown from 2016. That Kiva design has some problems: That large ball screw assembly is somewhat expensive for a component. The robots carrying shelving are top-heavy so they can't accelerate quickly. The height of shelving is limited by what workers can reach, which limits storage density. Workers must reach for items that are high up or close to the floor many times a day. A moderate amount of this isn't a big problem, but workers at Amazon facilities need to do that so often that it increases injury rates. Geek+ RoboShuttle Elevator robots have a rack-and-pinion driven elevator that lifts a rotating platform. The platform has a grabber that reaches around the sides of totes and slides them onto the elevator. The elevator can them push totes onto fixed storage slots, so it can grab multiple totes in 1 trip. Carrier robots have a set of powered rollers at a fixed height. Totes can be transferred between them and the elevator robots. AutoStore Robots ride on rails on top of a storage cube. They have 2 sets of wheels that can be switched between. Each robot has an elevator system that can lift/lower totes from above. Deep items are dug out, lifting and transferring totes above them until they're available. Alert Innovation Robots have multiple sets of wheels, letting them drive on a floor, drive on rails, and move vertically on rails. "Battery-free" probably means they use supercapacitors. Zikoo Per-level flat robots lift pallets from below and move them horizontally. They have 2 sets of wheels that can be switched between. Vertically telescoping forklifts lift pallets from the edge of levels. Pallets are carried to/from there by the flat robots. Brightpick Autopicker Robots carry 2 totes, on a single platform lifted by a belt drive, with a robotic arm between them to transfer items. The 2 tote slots on the platform have rollers, and a rolling grabber with vacuum grippers to move the totes on and off. Brightpick Dispatcher Like the Brightpick Autopicker, but with 1 tote and no robotic arm. EXOTEC Robots can drive on the floor and grab rails to move vertically. After climbing to the right height, they use a telescoping fork to transfer a tote. Dematic Multishuttle Elevators lift totes onto a load/unload area with rollers. Per-level shuttle robots carry totes horizontally. They ride on rails using a single set of wheels, and have telescoping arms that grab totes from the sides or push them. So, how has MF been going? My understanding is, most retailers have been taking a hesitant approach. They've mostly been waiting for someone else to show economic succes...

    Workers are strategically taking direct action to disrupt fake corporate holidays like “Black Friday” and Starbucks' “Red Cup Day.” Last week, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, hundreds of Macy's workers in Washington state walked out in protest of the company's refusal to bargain a fair contract with the union (UFCW 3000). One week prior to that, on Nov. 16, Starbucks workers at over 200 locations around the US walked off the job on “Red Cup Day” to protest the company's relentless union busting and refusal to bargain a contract with any of the stores that have unionized with Starbucks Workers United. In this worker solidarity livestream from Nov. 29, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks directly with workers and organizers on the frontlines of these struggles, including: Moe Mills, a worker-organizer at Starbucks and member of Starbucks Workers United; Liisa Luick, a longtime sales associate at Macy's; and Sean Embly from the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 3000.

    Leslie is joined by Maria Somma, Organizing Director for the United Steelworkers (USW). The two discuss how workers across the economy – from automakers to health care workers – are using their collective power to ensure they have fair contracts and safe working conditions. The first step in this process is organizing, and as workers seek greater protections on the job, they're capitalizing on this unique moment. It's not just the hot labor market, though the recent low unemployment has certainly helped. The pandemic helped workers in a number of industries understand that they're essential. It has also highlighted what they needed from their employers – in terms of job security, living wages, and more – as well as the power of working together to achieve these goals. Also, Joe Biden, the most pro-labor president in recent memory, has tasked his administration with helping workers to exercise their right to form unions. This unprecedented support, and whole of government approach, has helped tip the balance back toward workers, and away from greedy corporations. Workers are also experiencing a time of great potential as we look to the clean energy transition. Clean technology – like electric vehicles – require a wide variety of raw materials and other components. It's essential that jobs from mining to manufacturing are good, community supporting jobs. That means ensuring workers can exercise their right to organize. The final step in organizing is not, as some might think, a successful vote, but a first contract. This is where corporations like Starbucks double down on their efforts to break workers' collective will. We've seen this protracted bargaining at places like Kumho and OHL/Geodis, though the USW was ultimately successful in both cases. What workers need to help them successfully weather the immense challenges they face, including getting this vital first contract, is the PRO Act. The website for the United Steelworkers is USW.org and their handle on X and Instagram is @steelworkers. You can find them on Facebook by visiting Facebook.com/Steelworkers.
