does anyone have any tips on how to correct folks who misgender you?

i started working at my current agency with she/her pronouns, but recently switched to they/them. as far as i know, i'm the only one who uses they/them + has pronouns in my email signature. i was misgendered FIVE times in one day. i know people mess up, but i'm on the verge of just pulling a janet and saying "not a lady" every time someone says "hey ladies."

Has anyone else ever dated a coworker?

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

If you were attracted to a subordinate coworker would you by all means try to avoid being placed on same engagement team to avoid obvious or put more effort and request that they be put on your team?

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

I've had three interviews so far: 1) with the recruiter, 2) with the hiring manager, 3) with the lead of an adjacent division. I was contacted by the hiring manager (just 5 days after interview 3) asking if I was still interested and if I'm available for another meeting. He mentioned it would only take 30 minutes. Any thoughts on what to expect?

Hello UST folks,

Those who don't know we have got the access to "Udemy Business". Earlier it was not allowed, now we can use the Udemy for all learning. I am happy and wanted to share with you all.

How is everyone doing?

Ok…I still don’t know what I’m doing so started a convo by accident lol. Anyway, I’m new here and just wanted to say hello. There’s power in connections and I’m here wanting to connect. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends 😊

How many people come to this bowl and wish there was more happening? Show of hands please.

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

Hmm... our clients just paused ads on Teen Vogue due to homophobic tweets by the outlet's new editor-in-chief, Alexi McCammond.

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride! Wondering: we have an unique POV in life. Have you used your identity to help land you a gig? How so?

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?

Hi fellow 🌈 🐠- Looking for a therapist in Toronto. Can be virtual but would prefer to do sessions in person at some point with the same therapist for continuity. Any recos or resources on where to start the search? Bonus if they are LGBTQ or have experience/specialize within that community.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

My partner hates my long working hours.

It is really hard to do well in this business without sacrifice and my partner doesn't like it. To be fair that sacrifice is her... Most nights,over the weekend, and during every meal. She deserves better but I either sacrifice time or sacrifice earning potential.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?

Does anybody know what the tolerance + LGBTQ+ culture is like at Home Depot corporate in Atlanta?

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?
