Let’s be honest, not every “people-first” decision is actually people-first. Sometimes it’s risk management framed in a way that sounds better. HR understands the difference, even if it’s not always acknowledged.

I can usually tell. When it is truly people first, it shows in consistency. When it is optics, it feels reactive and surface level. The difference is quite obvious over time.

Agreed

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio.
