After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

In what way? Because people are all of a sudden asking you for your opinion because you’re a minority? Or because of having to watch what you say around other minorities?

I’m not being antagonistic, I’m interested in your experience.

I am a POC woman, and in a relative position of seniority, so people often come to me with different issues. And I’ve straight up had white men ask me to explain DEI training to them.

TBH Sometimes it’s exhausting.

More so in terms of navigating the climate on the client side. Everyone is hypersensitive because of the political environment and it's exhausting

Filling centuries of cultural knowledge and acumen is exhausting; being asked to be sensitive to others because they are “learning” is 2x as exhausting.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
