Unpopular opinion: Unless you’re a hospital saving literal lives, you don’t get to demand urgency for every little thing.

I’m tired of companies acting like every email is life or death. Sorry corporate America, your ‘emergency’ can wait till Monday. Does your account treat every ask as urgent or an emergency?

I think it’s a solid opinion. Not unpopular at all

There’s a reason Spain mandates companies stop emailing after 6 pm on a Friday. That’s the stuff government is great for, so companies don’t feel compelled to gain a competitive advantage it can’t legally get anyway.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
