A senior person on our team wants to simplify a finding for a presentation, but the simplification removes a limitation that changes how people will interpret the result. It makes the slide cleaner but also more misleading in my opinion. Would you challenge that in front of the group or bring it up privately after?

Bring it up privately. You might get some additional voices echoing your view if you do it in the group setting, but you'll almost certainly get on that senior's bad side if you call them out in public. Wait until you can have a private conversation, explain your concerns and try to do it in a way that doesn't make it seem like you're calling them out. The goal is to get them to back off the simplification without turning them into an enemy.

I’d bring it up privately most likely

But if it’s really obvious and bad I may say something publicly or ask a question related to the removed info

I don't think it's ever a good idea to challenge anybody publicly. Even the most emotionally stable people can feel frustrated or embarrassed to be challenged in front of others. Pulling them aside sounds like your best bet.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
