As a white manager, how do you approach today with your black employees? Do you bring up this anniversary in any way? If so how do you make it non-triggering?

What does your research say? What are all the suggested ways you’ve read about?! What ways have you researched that have gone well and what ways have you researched that haven’t gone well?

Subtext: step 1 - don’t come here asking the community you’re supposedly trying to connect with to do your emotional labor - especially for free. Part of being a good ally is not asking the oppressed to do the educating. Maybe try coming back with a few options you’ve heavily researched and asking the community to pick A,B,C or D.

Came here to say this ☝️

Just check-in, ask them how they’re doing, really listen, and help be a good ally + friend. And if you’re in a position to do it, help your agency support black professionals, improve hiring practices, etc.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

Happy Saturday my hard working talented peers! Sending good vibes to you all. What songs are your on your current playlist? I am hooked into”Running up that Hill” by Kate Bush and “There is a light that never goes out” by the Smiths!

3 dates in and communication has dipped hard. Really good, refreshing dates with this person who is ticking boxes nobody else has for a long time.

She’s away for 2/3 weeks from tomorrow, asked her the day after our 3rd date (last week) that I would like to see her again before she goes if possible, but since then texting has gone from twice daily to now having no reply in 48 hours. There’s not enough time to see her now which is fine, but feel like I’m slowly being ghosted. (cont)

Anyone else obsess over your next career move? I’m a senior associate in a niche BigLaw group in DC. I am just now hitting my stride and can really see a path to partnership.

The problem is that this isn’t what I want, or at least what I think I want. (Continued in comments).

Hi all! I spent 8 years working in the veterinary field before deciding to go back to school to get a degree in communication media. I graduated in 2020 and I got a job with a national franchise (corporate) less than a year after graduating. The role was for a Brand Manager and it transitioned to Communication Manager about 7 months in. The company was toxic, disorganized, had no idea what they were doing. *cont in comments*
