Sometimes I wonder how much more we would get paid if the firm eliminated all of the "overhead" (e.g., happy hours, dinners, other random perks, stupid trainings)

So that’s fine, assuming I get better spreads. Which in turn makes more money for my fund, which leads to higher bonuses.

It’s wishful thinking I know

Or, the senior guys make more and you still make your pittance (more likely).

My agency is opening up applications for a DE&I Committee leader for the first time. This person will be responsible for overhauling how the agency approaches diversity, including employee training, internships, new business model and client communications. However, the role is a voluntary one-year term with no extra pay or incentive. There is no budget for this person to be trained themselves. How are your companies handling new diversity leadership? How should I voice my concern?

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What is your definition of play?
