In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white.

I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

How do you feel about leaving a company shortly after joining?

I've been told by people to not be loyal to companies & I've seen posts in forums where people have talked about leaving workplace 1, at workplace 2 for like 3 weeks, and already interviewing for workplace 3 (and the recruiter for workplace 3 doesn't even know that the person has left workplace 1). That feels a little disingenuous and...bad etiquette maybe? What do you think?

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help.

Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?
