Cause y’all ain’t ready for all this.

Because I’m not wearing anything else. I’m still a decent person.

good idea. I've been using hair bands but this is much better.

I haven’t been but my hair’s starting to get to the awkward length so I may start wrapping it with a tenugui like I would on the line until it reaches tie-back-able length

Bleached my hair. I don’t think they would care but I don’t want to feel self conscious.

Because the hair looks like a bird's nest.

Because I want some style

Because without access to hair salon since March I now have 3 inches of grey roots

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
