I am always surprised by people who don't understand why many LGBTQ+ people are not "out" at work. What something you see that a lot of people at work don't understand about LGBTQ+ folks?

For me personally I just don’t discuss who I wanna jump in bed with because the company will probably keep asking me to join some inclusion committee and I just don’t wanna let them check a box on their inclusive-ness score card. I’m just here to pay my mortgage man

Tell them to turn on the news. The amount of anti-LGBT rhetoric spewed by the party who won this election is a good indicator as to why.

I agree to disagree… what if no one ever came out in history? This bowl wouldn’t exist.

That's not anyone's business. Keep that to yourself. Not appropriate in the work place to talk about sexual preferences.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
