    Lol hard to feel bad for the guy, he had it coming right? He's got loads of money so I'm sure he'll bounce back once the desk settles. Wonder what's going to happen to the HR director now

    I kind of saw that coming. It's a huge story. I feel bad for the spouses, who are the victims and all of this. And I'm kind of surprised that the head of HR didn't resign, since that's like, her entire job… To enforce the rules that she very publicly broke.

    Do we know that they have rules against dating internally? Infidelity isn’t a rule that a company would have. What could easily be in place is a rule about dating within your reporting chain of command. While she’s breaking it, it could be positioned as a power dynamic that she couldn’t refuse. Who knows what the real story is, but having a relationship with the boss is a well-known trope for a reason.

What is the dress code for woman in tech? It feels like it is really casual for men in the office but I think it is still a double standard for women to dress up more.

What is the most pointless thing you have to do on a week by week basis? For me, I just think about how much time I waste in some of my team meetings that I feel provide no value to the group. Sometimes it feels like the 30 minute meeting I have every thursday could just be an email

In your opinion is DEI dead at work (specifically in tech)? It was such a big push a few years ago and now I don’t hear anything.

Our CIO is pushing us to learn a programming language that no one has heard of. He used it in his old job. One looked into it and found that no company or government agency in my state used it. It doesn't appear in TIOBE Index. It doesn't appear in Stack Overflow's to programming language. My colleagues and I see this as a huge career limitation. What can we do about this?

I just found out I didn’t get the promotion that I was certain I would get. I’m feeling very emotional about it. For those who have experienced this, what are the next steps? What should I do and what should I not do?
