First, I'm sorry to hear this. Avoiding small talk may seem anti-social and is sometimes challenging, but keep it short if it's not about work-related matters. Find your people at work (through an ERG or other spaces if they're available) -- sometimes you have to create your own, unfortunately. But having people you trust that you can talk to in the unfortunate event you are encountered with a microaggression goes a long way!

If you work at fidelity, they are HUGE on their push for d&i. So, if you find yourself in that situation document the action, its impact on you, and then ask how it aligns with their d&i initiatives that they spend tons on yearly. Start throwing shit back in these companies’ faces when they talk all this d&i stuff but people are still treated less than. Keep it objective, (aside from how it impacts you i.e, causing anxiety, stress etc). But most importantly call those people out, don’t let them get away with it. Ask them what they meant by something or to explain it. If you are unable to at the time, send them an email recapping the interaction. But don’t stay quiet..:that’s how they continue to do stuff

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
