Being an ally is more than just partying at pride parades and wearing rainbow outfits. Sure, those are a great way to show your support–and have a good time–but being an ally means making your LGBTQ+ counterparts feel welcome no matter where they are. And the workplace is a great place to start. Creating an inclusive space at work is …
Things this Millennial was not expecting when I hit the workplace? To have all my pop culture references and movie quote knowledge challenged by my Gen Xer boss – let’s call him Ari Gold to keep him anonymous. Holy cow! Do I have a list of movies that I need to catch up on now! So far, I’ve finally watched …
You probably saw the internet dust-up a few weeks ago when Talia Jane (formerly of Yelp) posted an Open Letter to My CEO where, among other things, she complained about low pay, a slow path to promotion and flavored coconut water. It seems the only thing that people agreed with her on is that flavored coconut water sucks (it really …
I have two teenagers… both were gainfully employed last summer. Which meant I had a summer of bliss. You know what I mean if you have teenagers. Both did great at their jobs, their bosses loved them, and they were asked to come back this year. But there were some fails along the way that damaged their candidate experience. What …

If you’re not at the office, maybe you’re perusing HR blogs …
Sports is a man’s world. Do you know who won the last WNBA Final? Yeah, me either. What about how many major tennis championships Serena Williams has won? Crickets. Can you name anyone on the LPGA tour? Good luck. On August 5, Becky Hammon put another dent in the gender bias towards women when it comes to sports. Most women can’t …
I’m not a big fan of generalizing generations and playing into a faux “millennial” industrial complex, making money convincing everyone that we need to reinvent the world because the millennials have arrived.

If you told me at 23 that I’d be spending my St. Patrick’s Day weekend debating paint samples and watching The Talented Mr. Ripley on Netflix with my dogs, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Why?
