Lmao you really wanna support #IWD2018? Hire, promote, advocate for, pay, and believe women in your organizations.

You can keep your mentorship if it means dealing some some self-aggrandizing egomaniac 😂 legit

I’ve had many “mentors” throughout my career which culminated in needing to unlearn toxic, horrible behavior. You know what they never ended in? Promotions, more visible projects, or higher pay. All those things happened bc I fought for them.

Just sayin’... you want a framework for What To Look For?

P0
- great manager/team
- great pay & benefits
- sane company culture

P1
- “sexy” product/work
- “challenging” work

P2
- 🐶 in the office
- some fancy fucking title
- um free stuff

You gotta have P0 before you can salivate for P1 🤷🏻‍♀️ And mentors, it’s not enough to just listen. Use your powers for good! Push for change, speak up when you know biases are impacting someone’s chances of GETTING HIRED or PROMOTED or GETTING PAID. Or kindly STFU.
