It's okay to:
• Not want to be a boss
• Work a 9-5 and actually log off
• Live for the weekend
• Choose stability over hustle culture

My ethnicity makes me a minority but I would never join a minority affinity/business resource group. I think it creates separation which can lead to an “us versus them” mentality - a step backwards.

I’d like to hear some thoughts from people who disagree and if they are in these groups or not
