What kind of message do you hope your kids take away from watching you work? I hope my kids see that I am happy working and I like what I do but I don’t want them to think it is more important than them.

I like them to two know two things. 1) balance between work and life. 2) the connection of how my work helps other people. Sometimes that’s hard in digital marketing when they just see me at my laptop and on zoom calls.

That’s beautiful!

I want mine to see that you can go after something you are passionate about despite what others might suggest you do with your career. Could I have gone to school to become a doctor and make more money? Yes, but that's not what's on my heart.

That’s really great ❤️

I don’t have kids on my own. However, I would hope kids would just take away that it’s important to do your best.

Yes similar. I want them to see me always prioritize my family and that work is just there but not more important than them.

I do like my work, but it is just a part of life. I try to be blunt with them now that they are getting older, too. I’d love to not have to go to this meeting, but I like having food and shelter, so sometimes we do things we don’t want to because it leads to my longer-term goals.

Totally makes sense! Good way to think about it

"Beautiful message! Teaching kids the value of passion and hard work — without ever making them feel less important — is truly inspiring. Balance is everything."

Not a parent yet, but I feel like if you’re asking that question, you’re already doing just fine.

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
