#workplace culture

[jamiefeelsdandy]

I'm currently seeing a lot of people in the destiny 2 community unironically saying that ACTIVISION, the company that is notorious for overworking employees was exposed for protecting sexual predators and doing nothing about the mistreatment of its employees, is better than Bungie cause "at least they gave us content". I made a comment calling this out in some yt replies, and had people say "stop defending a multi billion dollar company Bungie doesn't care" whilst failing to see the irony in the fact that they're the ones giving credit to the company that protected abusive workplace culture. People really prioritize "more content" over the safety and wellbeing of workers but then have the audacity to call you a corporation defender for calling them out on it. There's also people acting like Activision was consumer friendly in any sense of the term. Bungie absolutely should be called out for its increasingly non consumer friendly practices (raising the prices of expansions and seasons as well as the whole dungeon key thing being the main issues) but calling ACTIVISION of all companies consumer friendly, even in comparison, is not only wrong it's straight up disingenuous. I feel like I'm going insane trying to be reasonable in this community with takes so wrong on so many levels like "Bungie is worse than Activision cause Activision gave us more content and was more consumer friendly" floating around. People are really forgetting how truly despicable Activision/Blizzard was exposed for being just cause it's popular to shit on Bungie right now. We do not need to be propping up companies that are known for treating employees like shit and protecting sexual predators in order to criticise Bungie. It's insane that this needs to be said, but this community with every passing day just keeps proving that it values being angry over being helpful, so much that it's stooped to the level of acting like Activision was any better for Destiny 2 or Bungie despite us knowing how bad Activision really was and how deep that awfulness was, and knowing that it had been a big issue for a while. Do not ever brush aside or forget about what they did, cause I assure you their victims absolutely won't forget it either. And their victims surely wouldn't take too kindly to seeing gamers prioritize "more content" over the potential safety of workers. I apologize in advance if I worded anything confusingly but I'm so incredibly disappointed with this community and frustrated that there's nothing I can say to open people's eyes up to how harmful people are being.

Femme Fatale Guide: How To Reset From A Toxic Work Environment

Give yourself ample time to reset and indulge in basic self-care. Get a full night's sleep every night, eat a balanced & nutritious diet (most of the time) with meals you enjoy, incorporate daily movement & a consistent exercise routine into your week, read books, listen to music and podcasts that inspire you, hang out with loved ones/people who energize you, indulge in beauty routines/"spa" days and movies/TV shows you love

Once you feel recharged/not burned out anymore, take a step back and reflect on what your values are, your interests, desired lifestyle/workplace environment that best suits your personality and work style. Consider what you want out of your next opportunity instead of letting hiring managers decide for you once your interviewing processes begin. Remember, a job at a company should feel like a mutual fit. Decide to work as an employee, not a corporate slave.

Reassess and decide on your future workplace boundaries ahead of time. Once you're more emotionally distant from your current toxic work environment, allow yourself to act as a neutral observer of the interpersonal dynamics that played out while you were working in your (soon-to-be previous) toxic work environment. Consider any warning signs/red flags you might've ignored early on or certain ways you allowed yourself to be a pushover/people-pleaser to keep the peace while getting to know your co-workers. Looking back, how would you have handled these situations if you had the clarity and self-confidence you have now? Use your answer to this question as a roadmap to decide how you can show up as your best self before/while working in your next role.

Determine ways you can forge workplace connections early on in your next role. Embrace the "new job, new you" mentality here and decide how you want to show up as a sociable co-worker from your first week onward. Greet your team in the morning, engage in some small talk over a break to get to know each other better – try to find mutual interest/express interest in what they're saying, make it a priority to schedule one-on-ones with all team members/close collaborators within your company over the first month, invite co-workers to get coffee/lunch with you a couple of days per week, etc.

The most insidious manifestation of mental health stigma/discrimination is denial. What do you say to someone who fundamentally doesn’t believe you have whatever you’re diagnosed with, or doesn’t believe it’s serious or doesn’t even believe your disorder actually exists as a neurobiological condition? That last one is surprisingly common. Plenty of people will acknowledge the existence of depression, for example, but only as a psychological experience, acting as if its effects on sleep, appetite, focus, memory, reflexes, energy levels etc. are either exaggerated or invented.

Otherwise intelligent people will silently dismiss the scientific consensus on mental illness, just because it is inconvenient. The dehumanisation that happens when someone does that to you, when someone just decides for you that your mental health is irrelevant to your ability to function is hugely impactful.

It creates a massive rift between yourself and the person engaging in the denial. The person in denial has made the wilful decision to think less of you, to reframe any future action to reflect badly on you. In so doing, they are lessening their own ability to respond rationally and with empathy and emotional intelligence. This makes them a serious liability to people who depend on their judgment.

You, as the subject of this dehumanisation, are trapped in an impossible situation: you want to function healthily and without friction etc. But you know that any sign of competence will be used to further dismiss the severity of your disorder, while any mistake, any slowness, any sign of incompetence will be used to brand you as lazy, sloppy and careless.

If you’re doing well, you’re not really mentally ill.

If you’re failing, you’re just a fuck-up.

All the workplace seminars around communication, cooperation, integrity, mental health awareness etc. mean nothing if people fundamentally do not accept that neurobiology is central to most of our behaviour and our abilities.

Some people flatter themselves by choosing to believe that reason and willpower should be in control of the mind, but all they doing is obfuscating the neurochemical processes really at work here. They are trying to turn an insanely complex phenomenon (the mind) into a simple personal responsibility. It is incredibly irresponsible to engage in such reductionism (both explicitly and implicitly) especially when it concerns the health and wellbeing of another person.

Mental health & mental illness are neurological and physiological as much as they are psychological. If you do not accept this or behave as if you don’t, then you are causing wilful harm and you are unfit to be in any position of responsibility or leadership.

In general, the world would be a much better place if they people refrained from passing judgement on things they know little about. Vibes are not knowledge. If you don’t have the actual expertise, personal experience or research you need to understand someone’s mental condition/disorder then you are unfit to make any claims or decisions about it.

A conversation I had at work today

HR Lady: You were late once in the past 3 months. That is unacceptable.

Me: I slept through my alarm but I called the moment I woke up to let them know I was going to be late. And it only happened the once.

HR Lady: You know how many times I've been late for work? None. Even in snow storms and though I live far from work.

Voiceover Narrator: HR Lady had, in fact, been 15 minutes late for the very meeting that was taking place.

Sexist Stereotyping Abounds in Conservation Science: Addressing the Harmful Effects and Creating a More Inclusive Environment

Introduction: Conservation science is an important field of study that aims to preserve our natural resources and protect endangered species. However, despite its noble intentions, this field is not immune to sexist stereotyping. In fact, sexist stereotyping abounds in conservation science, and it can have serious implications for the way we approach conservation efforts. In this article, we…

Unfairness in the Workplace & Hiring Process

Off my usual topics, but I need your help!

It’s hard to navigate the workplace and hiring process. Office politics and behind the scenes secrets make it seem like those who get the jobs, promotions and raises know something other hard working professionals don’t. But we can combat these unfair advantages together.

I strive to do just that with “The Employee’s Advocate,” where I’ll collect all the tools and information for a successful #career so everyone has a fair chance.

I can’t do this all on my own though. That’s where you come in. Step one is this anonymous survey about unfair and unequal experiences in the workplace and hiring process. The results will help me gather the preliminary information and determine the next steps.

Getting as many people as possible to participate means a lot to me. We all have valuable information in our experiences. Let’s help each other out. Please take my survey and pass it along to others. Thanks!

https://shrl.ink/6oJR

Please take this anonymous survey; it’s quick and easy. PLEASE share it to help me out! Thanks so much

This is a tough question. How can a woman of color react elegantly without compromising her dignity (by playing along with, allowing such behavior) when a white person behaves in an othering/alienating/ignorant manner unintentionally? Especially when everyone else present, within the conversation, knows the behavior is problematic but stays silent and watches.

Hi love! I don't know if I'm the best person to answer this question as a white woman myself (who would never entertain this awful behavior, unless, for some reason, I did not sense the microaggression myself). From the perspective of ways someone could handle this that I would find admirable, I would say the best way to handle this situation is to relay the sentiment said to you back to the microaggressor in a calm, collected manner (e.g. "Thank you. I love the way you have your hair straightened, too. "I think your comment sounded very articulate, too." Acknowledging the comment and its absurdity without saying anything aggressive or unkind).

Please – any black women, BIPOC, or anyone else who has some insight on how to best handle these situations/how you would want them handled, share in the comments/reblogs with your suggestions & best tips. We all should do better xx

How to tell if your employer's HR is quiet firing you

HR Person: Please feel free to ask me questions about your evaluation. :)

Me: *asks questions about the evaluation*

HR: *sets up a meeting with my supervisor; I'm supposed to be at the meeting too, but my supervisor is the one that tells me about it, HR never contacts me*

HR Director: *during the meeting tells my supervisor the gist of what I had written in my email (which was written with the understanding that it was in confidence and that I was simply asking questions about my evaluation); presents the email as if I had sent an unprompted complaint email*

=-=-=

From my supervisor's latest evaluation: PaddySnuffles has been keeping her desk organized but we're unsure if that will continue going forward.

Me: So I'm meeting expectations but that's not enough? How can I improve?

My employer's HR director: Oh, it's not about improvement. We're just saying that we don't know if you're only doing it because that's an issue we mentioned in the last evaluation and will stop when no one's paying attention anymore. :)

Me: So what can I do to change that perception?

HR Director: *changes subject & doesn't answer the question*

=-=-=

My Supervisor: You often have food [I never have food] and drink at your desk, and that's not good near computers.

Context: I have a cup of tea at my desk. Just like all the other staff have drinks at their desks.

=-=-=

HR Director: You need to organize your desk before you leave for the day.

Me: I always do.

HR Director: Okay but you need to organize your desk before you leave for the day.

=-=-=

HR Director: We need to talk about your tardiness problem.

Me: What tardiness problem?

HR Director: You were late once in the past 3 months. That's unacceptable.

Me: I slept through my alarm but I called the moment I woke up to let them know I was going to be late. And it only happened the once.

HR Director: You know how many times I've been late for work? None. Even in snow storms and though I live far from work.

Voiceover Narrator: HR Director had, in fact, been 15 minutes late for the very meeting that was taking place.

=-=-=

My Supervisor: Sending emails isn't convenient for me.

HR Director: So you two should prioritize talking in person instead of via email from now on.

Context: I had have a medical accommodation for primarily communicating via email because I'm autistic.

Work is work, after all, and it won't always be enjoyable. You'll have monotonous projects, challenging assignments, and obnoxious coworkers who make you want to quit; create a Slack channel about how annoying they are, or complain to everyone who will listen. However, this can backfire spectacularly. Angela Copeland, CEO of Copeland Consulting, a career counselling firm, says, “If you spend too much time complaining to others, you could be labelled “the complainer” and co-workers may avoid you”, and sometimes, “It's also possible that information you share will be passed along, but you won't have control over the message so it may be incomplete or inaccurate.”

Patricia Arquette Has a Cannabis Prescription for Severance’s Harmony Cobel

The Patricia Arquette of the mind’s eye belongs in Southern California. On the lam in True Romance, she soaks in the open-road sunshine, her teal bra and cow-print miniskirt one-upping the purple Cadillac convertible. In Lost Highway, her two alter-egos—one brunette with cropped bangs, the other platinum blonde—bring screen-star classicism to David Lynch’s moody universe. And in the upcoming…
