While I’m happy to work independently, I really enjoy the camaraderie and diversity of teams. I’ve been working alone for quite some time but recently went on a work trip with few of my coworkers. And I loved it because we worked well together and got most of our work done. Do you work best independently or in a team?

By myself, always. It's not that I'm opposed to working with others, because I'm not. I've just been stuck carrying dead weight so often that I'd rather do everything on my own than rely on anyone else.

Oh I see. That is the worst when you are practically the only one putting in the work on your team. I was once in that position and I ended up quitting. I love working independently but sometimes I like working with others

I work best alone. However, I do understand what you're saying. I like being around people but do my best work alone because of my ADHD. It can get very lonely working alone.

I have adhd as well and I always find that working alone is the best for me. I like working in groups as well but I feel like I work better when I’m alone.

Totally get that! I enjoy working independently too, but there’s something about a good team vibe that just makes things click. It sounds like that trip was a perfect mix of both. I’d say I do well in either, but I really appreciate a team that clicks.

There is nothing like working with a team that has the same work ethic as you. You noticed how the gets done faster and everyone is in one accord. If the team is not in unison then I don’t want to work in teams. I rather work independently and get the job done.

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%.

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
