Is anyone else following this Twitter disaster?

I know it won't change anything but it is nice that people are trying to hold Eli Lilly accountable.

Any black women here 40+ and still senior manager or lower? I’m wondering how you feel about the glass ceiling and the progress there is for us in corporate. Do you feel it’s worth the fight and stress to move up? A part of me just want to go through the actions to get the check and spend it wisely, but my competitive/ego side feels I needs a high title because the culture says I should have one by now.

I've realized that I keep working 60+ mostly because I suck at things regarding the personal life. My love life sucks, I don't have that many close friends, and don't have a good hobby (mostly in my free time I just pass time).

Have anyone already felt like this? If so, were you able to change? How?
