So Serena’s own coach said he used signals while she denies it. Thoughts?

Just because he was making signals doesn’t mean she saw him.

@SC1 - Not a tennis nerd, but apparently lots of players do it slyly, even at that level, and aren't penalized for it.

The issue with Serena is that when she stood up for herself (which men in the sport do ALL the time) she was penalized further for it.

Yes, she has had to put up with a lot of shit. But she could have stood up for herself without breaking her racket. A simple statement that she felt held to a different standard woul have sufficed because people would have listened to her as the greatest superstar in her sport.

☝️yeah I was thinking of that too right after this happened. Even in golf you’re allowed to confer with your caddy.

So she's responsible for his actions? Even though she had no knowledge of him signaling. That seems unfair.

Also, Trevor Noah had a good general point - literally every other sport allows coaching. However, a little off topic.

PMs, If your company is an AWS shop, they just released two new cool features to Cloud Watch that is extremely valuable to PMs. The first one is Cloud Watch Evidently that allows for non-deployment A/B testing and the second is Cloud Watch RUM for user and performance monitoring. Definitely look into them since I’m sure the red tape involved to use them is a lot less that 3rd party tools.

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

My husband just sent in 150$ to his cousin, whose friend who was in need. I keep getting requests for help with charities, go fund me, school pta etc. I am not opposed to helping out when I can, but sometimes there are 5/6 a month. The 150$ really bugs me. It’s not the amount he sent (I would have preferred 50$). But it’s the fact that he didn’t consult me in the amount. He apologized but I am now wondering if I am too cheap.

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.

Working on a campaign and I wrote the first version of the script that was chosen. My CW partner crafted it and then I made revisions. It’s been a super collaborative process and so rewarding. We’re both so proud of this piece. It’s manifesto-y and the writing is what makes it sing, so it hurts a little (or a lot) when my partner gets tons of praise from like, THE TOP, for the writing and doesn’t acknowledge me. Do ADs ever get co-writing credits? Do I just need to get over my ego? *big exhale*

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
