Happy Friday! Has anyone made the switch from HR Generalist to payroll/benefits specialist? Wondering if you missed being involved in hiring, onboarding, employee relations. These are the things that are super stressful for me right now (dept. of 1) but also what I somewhat enjoy. I’m newer to the benefits space but very interested in it.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

Planned a trip with one of my friends and after she’s mentioned it to friends, they keep asking to join us. I didn’t mind after the first one, but I’m getting annoyed that it’s no longer a small group. She keeps asking what bothers me, but I can’t put my finger on it. Does anyone introverted feel this way? I tend to get overlooked in big groups and generally like to keep it small so my voice and opinions still matter.

How do you stealthily ask for help?

So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

I just want to remind you all that you’re better than some people will try to make you feel, and no one can look out for your interests better than you!
