Bruh I was having a conversation with the president of the agency I’m working at, and he was wondering why we have a high turnover rate, homeboy looked really confused 😂 meanwhile the agency is a sweatshop that underpays people. I don’t know if he was being sarcastic or not because if he was serious I’m concerned 🫢😂

Sometimes the leaders can’t see the problems, especially if people don’t tell them. This was your invite to do just that. We can’t complain they don’t understand but then don’t tell them when invited to

Did you tell him? He’s not gonna know until bless someone is honest with him.

I was in a similar position with the VP a few years ago. She asked something similar so I told her.

She tried playing it off as if she didn’t know but I could tell from her immediate canned response and poor acting skills that she already knew the answer.

She no doubt heard the very loud rumblings and merely asked the question to provide PR cover for leadership. Nothing changed.

Your President is most likely doing the same.

I once worked at a small company. We had 15 employees. The place was so badly run that we turned over 11 of those people in a year. The owner would just shake his head and say, “you just can’t find good people anymore.”

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
