Went in house recently and already started labeling my co workers like my agency clients. Spend 1 hour today explaining simple stuff to someone, yes found that needy ‘co worker’ who would ask you a gazillion simple questions to simple stuff. It feels like they are all the same no matter where you go.

Ugh. I feel this so much! Socializing anything about analytics to stakeholders requires a lot of patience. Slowly, I’ve gotten better at it, but can still improve.
It 💯 is the same as working with clients because they’re basically THE SAME PEOPLE! If you weren’t there, they’d hire a consultant or agency.

It took me while to break into more product analytics focused roles after working in ad agency analytics cause recruiters would not believe me that I can do the work. I am like you are more prepared than in house analysts dealing with stupid questions if you have worked on the agency side and know very well what non tech people wants to see and how to talk to them after dealing with people from a wide range of industries and experience.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
