Do you think we as Black folks look out for each other at the expense of ourselves? Meaning, if you see someone being done wrong, are you willing to speak up even if it means you may lose clout points?

This is too general for me to speak to. But in general if they're treating someone else poorly because of race, then there is no reason they won't do the exact same thing to me. And even more likely, there are other ways that blatant activity is impacting the way I'm treated. So even if I'm being selfish I'm gonna try to do something.

Now how much I stick my neck out depends. I'm not perfect or completely virtuous.

I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. Everyone doesn’t deserve my help. Each time I’ve stepped forward for someone, they ended up screwing me over. Until I can trust myself to pick out who is safe and who is not in these scenarios, I will not directly intervene.

Agree with C1. Don’t be a bystander, not worth the clout points.

I predict that for the future Workday will have a difficult time deploying for small and medium enterprise customers at lower price points. Most of the firms that did these types of deployments only made money towards the tail end through more lucrative support contracts but take a look at how many of them sold themselves in recent months or had layoffs (CS, Sierra-Cedar, Alchemy).

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!
