What are some ways I could talk to a high-up about her leadership style? It doesn't seem to resonate with most people and she's a very negative person in general which makes things really awkward during meetings, etc. I don't want to come off rude, insubordinate, or over step the line. But I think it would be beneficial to address this for the sake of the team.

I would RECORD EVERYTHING. I.E. not physically with a phone, but written meeting notes, date and time, what it was about, etc.

Mention that it’s a uncomfortable conversation for you, as you want to see that manager succeed with any team that she leads. Explain the common issues the team is having and how you can both come up with a resolution. Ask her how she feels about the situations you brought up. If she is an empathetic listener, than she should be able to address the issue with an open mind and understand that she isn’t perfect. Allow her to voice her opinion. If she becomes defensive, you can always revisit this conversation at a better time that works best for everyone.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
