After several demands from Congress, the Secret Service director has stepped down. I’m not sure if that’s a good decision or not, but it certainly has me thinking about how the errors of subordinates sometimes fall on leadership.

Should law firm partners be fired for an associate’s mistake? Should a CEO be fired for an employee’s mistake? Should a police chief be fired for a police officer’s mistake? 🤔 The hypos could go on & on.

I don't know the answer, but What are your thoughts?

I've always thought things like that were kind of silly, I mean, how would the person at the top of the organization be responsible for what happened on the ground? But I suppose in some ways it makes sense, the culture comes from the top. So the top person is ultimately responsible.

I see your point. If the person at the top has created a culture that encourages bad behavior I.e. racism in a police department, then yes the person at the top should be fired when someone on the ground messes up.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE?

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl.
