Are the traits needed to become a manager mutually exclusive from having empathy?
My ponders, from experiencing the collapse of #Unbound over the last few months...

Disclaimer: this post is about book publishing, and most of you reading this won't be in that field. But I've gotten some minor superpowers by being involved in lots of disparate and diverse industries (like theatre & TV writing) so hopefully there are some transferable lessons!
My last book was published by Unbound which, as many will know, went into administration this year leaving us authors with five figure losses. So here's what three completely different leaders have written about the situation.
What they say: "I will continue to not take a salary" - CEO of the failed company who started a new publishing business with the old assets, but none of the debt. (https://lnkd.in/e-4uHZMV)
What they think they're saying: "I'm in the same boat as you!"
What we're thinking: "We're in the same sea, but in different boats. We didn't choose to not get paid when setting out in our dinghy, trusting that you'd take us aboard one of your two mega-yachts if we sank. You chose to not pay us."
Then in June, a director and founder resigned saying Boundless’s position was “morally and financially unacceptable.” (https://lnkd.in/eH5JamRY)
What they think they're saying: "I'm on the side of the authors who've been treated unfairly, and not been paid."
What we're thinking: "You were there when all this happened. You ghosted us."
And finally, the Society of Authors. An organisation who are meant to lead by example and help authors, wrote an article blaming writers for not reading their contracts. “Five lessons for authors from Unbound” (https://lnkd.in/e6MqNUsC)
What they think they're saying: "There are professionals in this industry who can help you."
What we're thinking: "The SoA believe that us authors who published via Unbound are idiots who didn’t read the contract, and we should have joined their society.” The whole piece shames the victims for a problem that had nothing to do with the contracts, but was caused by problems by Unbound management, and issues within the publishing industry itself. Indeed, the SoA themselves, along with agents, had read and approved some of the contracts!
What’s the common element? Empathy. Or rather, the lack thereof. Why do so many companies, across all industries, seem to have leaders that are bereft?
Is it better or worse in tech? I ask since tech leaders often class themselves as geniuses. And because large parts of the industry give these geniuses leeway to be abusive, they believe they’re entitled to behaviour that way. The troubled genius. The disruptor. The rebel. But without empathy what do your words sound like? Are people hearing what you think you’re saying? Or are you just running your team into the ground?
The evenings this week have been a bit of an adventure with the home lab. I'm migrating a number of random services onto a pair of new VM's, one on each of my two Proxmox hosts. They'll become DNS servers (authoritative using nsd and recursive using Unbound), including basic DNS filtering of the bad stuff as well as DNS64/NAT64 services so I can move to more IPv6 mostly systems at home. They'll probably also pickup NTP and any other services that make sense along the way.
My challenge has been to perform as much of the setup as possible using Ansible. I'm still very much a beginner but I seem to be making good progress.
I've been fighting with NSD/Unbound and reverse DNS but after a couple of days that's on hold. Forward resolution is working so I've moved some of the home VLAN's over to add some load. Holy crap they are fast. There's a little delay for a new site not in the cache but it soon picks up. It feels like an order of magnitude faster than my venerable pi 3b+ running pihole with the same DNS filtered list.
I'll crack the reverse DNS stuff at some point and now I've realised the reason I couldn't restart NSD after a change (so I was rebooting the VM) was because I didn't realise the "remote control" options are also needed for local control on the VM, it's a lot faster to get updates on place.
More work tomorrow night on the Ansible playbook with some better tags to manage operations without updating everything.
Can #unbound being configured as caching dns server using 2 different upstream resolvers (normal and the filtered one for the kids) based on source ip/incoming interface of the client (kids vxlan vs normal lan) Would think it requires 2 differnt caches as the upstream servers answers for the same record might be different...

Mine, and some other great books, left without a home after the #Unbound fiasco...

Organisers of the (alleged) SCAM Should go to JAIL.
TLDR: #Unbound - the crowd sourcing book #publisher - went into Liquidation / Administration. New company #Boundless (set up by Unbound's former owners) claimed liquidation was to sort out finances and all obligations to customers and authors would still be honoured.
Now they are taking all the money, - including YEARS OF PENDING BACKPAY- not paying Authors and not fulfilling Customer book orders.
Scum.
Printweek · “If I wasn’t so f*cking angry, I’d laugh”: Boundless delays author payments - PrintweekBoundless, the post-pre-pack reincarnation of crowd-funded publisher Unbound, will delay paying owed royalties to authors until it is “cash stable”, according to The Bookseller.
