Is Twitter a Good Product to Make Better?

Speaker 1
So
Speaker 3
what's the impact of not having a really developed identity for yourself professionally? There's
Speaker 1
a tremendous impact on workers on a week by week level. So you know, the amount of identity challenges their experiencing at the beginning of the week will impact their level of a motivation control, so how well they are able to make themselfs focus on what they'are doing in the middle of the week and their proactivity, which we know is really important for people who are working on their own, and that can lead to a psychology and professional well being outcomes at the end of the week. So we find that that then manifests in increased levels of emotional exhaustion at the end of the week. They are feeling less resilient, and they actually make less progress towards the goals they have at the beginning of the week. So these challenges might be invisible or silent, but they're clearly weighing on these workers as they're trying to do their work through the rest of the week. I think
Speaker 2
you could imagine that if you were working free lands, you are always explaining to people who you are and what you do. And so just that interaction with your neighbors or your children's friends, parents, i'm different people that you meet, you are always explaining, ohlik, i'm a video producer. No, i don't really work for any company. I'm on this company on a contract right now. Andi'm on a contract somewhere else. You're in a society people expect you to be working for a specific organization. And so you are kind of always explaining yourself to people. And that feeds into this feeling of an uncertain identity as well.
