  • For me it’s much easier to work with people I don’t like if we’re not trying to be friends. It doesn’t matter if I like them or not. Doesn’t matter if I think they are a piece of shit or awesome. We each have skills required to get the job done, and we use them together to do it.

    Butts in seats is the most important metric for our middle management. In my gig if we don’t have a full team, job can’t get done. Middle management is incentivised to have butts in seats. So good luck having any say in who is filling those roles.

    Combine that with an industry full of toxic work environment. Yeah, I apply my skill set and go home. It keeps the lights on













  • I love this question.

    And sitting in a place of extreme privilege I say, meh, be you. Look everywhere. Here, there, wherever. If you catch someone’s eyes share a quick smile and look somewhere else. Fuck’m

    First, be you.

    Second, try to remember no one cares, and if they do, that’s on them.

    Third, ok, so don’t stare, look everywhere.

    This probably isn’t the answer you’re looking for. Sorry. But it is the answer that sprang into my brain. And in the theme of “be you” I typed it.

    It’s a great question and lots of folks have good perspectives. Big hugs and your you is awesome
