Hello QDT listeners, This just in from Modern Mentor, it's time to squelch invisible labor: "You know, one thing that really helps drive engagement is recognition. Just showing our talent that their efforts are seen—are appreciated and valued—goes a long way. A lot of companies do this well. When they see something great happen, they celebrate it. The issue is, though, that a lot of amazing things are happening that are kind of… invisible. And it’s hard to show recognition for something we can’t even see. Often, our colleagues pick up slack without being asked or thanked, and that can lead to burnout. Now granted, sometimes an occasion calls for someone to step up, outside of their lane, and pick up a piece of slack they hadn’t planned for. But when it happens on repeat, and a team or organization is unknowingly relying on that person’s invisible efforts, then something’s gotta give. In this week's episode, I want to acknowledge some of these groups I’m seeing carrying the extra load. And let’s talk about how we can better support and recognize them. Listen to the full episode here or read a transcript here."

July 25th, 2234: The crew of the Adamura discovers the anomaly. On the seemingly uninhabited planet Talos VII: a circular pit, 50 kilometers wide. Its curve not of nature, but design. Now, a small team must land and journey on foot across the surface to learn who built the hole and why. But they all carry the burdens of lives carved out on disparate colonies in the cruel cold of space. For some the mission is the dream of the lifetime, for others a risk not worth taking, and for one it is a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. Each step they take toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts of their past follow.
