How much do your personal beliefs influence your work, and in what ways? For example, if you were a Bernie Bro, would you ever represent Trump or a Trump-endorsed/affiliated person/entity, and vice versa? Do you think you have an obligation to turn down work for a client whose beliefs you personally find repulsive? Or do you think your obligation is to set aside your personal beliefs and act in your client’s best interest regardless of how distasteful you may find them to be?

Colleagues are saying I should draft a letter of apology and offer to compensate if I’m planning to stay in this company.

A little background on why they’re saying that. There was once a stain on the carpet of their previous office. The employees were made to fork out the bill for the cleaning.

I am 2 years into product as my first job. I have a new manager (former lawyer!?) who micromanages everything I do - including stylistic changes to my user stories.

I love the company / my job / engineering team but he’s driving me nuts and can’t make decisions on my own product areas🤯

Additional Posts in Tattoos in Tech

A ways back, I was grabbing coffee in the Financial District when the young woman ringing me up said, “…you have all those tattoos and a septum piercing and you work around here?” I nodded “yes,” and said that I worked in tech. She was amazed that a woman that looked like me could get hired and work in a professional setting. I think it gave her confidence that she could do it too.
