Really want to attend a diversity conference on Monday but have a client meeting Tuesday. Think I could do it? Both are super important to me so trying to figure out what I can do

Find POC who attended the conference last year, or any other diversity event sponsored by the same outfit putting it on. Ask them what actual career advancement opportunities they gained because of that event. That will tell you if the conference is happening because it really helps POC, or if it’s just for optics that benefit the sponsor and you should therefore go to the client meeting.

Is this for MAIP Summit? If so, the agenda looks super solid. If you didn’t want to miss the portions you’re interested in you could perhaps go for part of the day. Also discuss it with your team. If they’ve invested in you going AND you’re in a good place in terms of deliverables for your Tuesday meeting, perhaps they can give you some grace on any other prep meetings and how/when they schedule to get ready for Tuesday....

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

1. Frequency of positive engagements (positive in a productive, constructive sense)
2. Increasing numbers of people engaging in each topic as they get more comfortable using the tool and airing their opinions
3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)

What are your thoughts?

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
