Does your school acknowledge Black History Month and if so, how is it celebrated?

What’s the minimum amount of money you’ll accept to cut off the tip of your left pinky finger? What about toe 😂? Was talking to some colleagues and they were willing to cut off an entire arm/leg for $250k. I was horrified lol

How hard is it to get accepted now? I've heard the acceptance rate has gone down in the last years

How many years do I need to be at Deloitte to be eligible for GSAP?

Really over this job, but company just started my GC application. I hear it takes about 2 years. Is the GC worth the wait? Does the time go by fast? Lol I feel stuck here & just tired. Send help

Any tax accountants/attorneys in here? What would happen to the 401k of a foreign worker if they cannot longer maintain an immigration status and have to go back home? What about a ROTH 401k? Assuming they made after-tax contributions, would they still be able to take tax-free distributions if they are non-resident aliens for tax purposes?

How bad is the attrition in your team/company?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

Apparently a mid-weight team have left my agency for a new job at a big name (but not hot) agency on £75k. Average books/ no awards. Is this legit or is someone telling porkies?

Any suggestions should I join kyndryl?

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Has anyone built an emergent learning group in your consultancy or company that focuses on reflection, feedback, problems of practice... But amongst designers staffed on different projects/clients? How did you structure it? How did you maintain it?

Been really fighting sleep lately. I recall reading that’s an ADHD symptom but I can’t find it now in my half asleep but wide awake state.

Has Pfizer done away with Assoc. Director roles in favor of Sr. Manager roles?

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

Just got an offer to a BB. How do I popcorn this into more?

What’s your state doing to advance equity in edu? In CA we talk a lot about equity at the student/class levels, but aren’t addressing issues around financial equity and cultural equity in schools.

I’m curious about how your districts handle wearing BLM apparel. I recently got in trouble for wearing a BLM shirt, but my school had no policy in place to justify their decision to have me remove the message.

What are your thoughts on the term, person of color? It tends to be controversial at times. Do you prefer something more specific? I personally prefer "Black" for myself.

Does anyone have experience with building a mentorship program or affinity groups for Educator of Color? Willing to offer any advice?

How are y’all doing this year?

Whats the halloween tradition like at your school? Do you celebrate? I went as Ms. Frizzle 3 years ago and the kids loved it.

Has anyone participated in a PD or series of PDs on issues dealing with race and equity that led to meaningful changes? Would love to learn more about them.

How do you respond when other educators or staff members negatively refer to children and you know it is based on their color?

What is the average teaching salary in your state? I’m a 1st year teacher at a public charter making $52k/year. I’m interested in teaching in Los Angeles upon leaving Texas.

Culturally relevant pedagogy is a big step from the status quo. How are your schools and districts supporting this work?

In paying homage to our profession, who was your favorite teacher growing up; and what grade was it?
