Andrew Tobin - 2nd Award Losing Creative Director - at theandrewtobin.com 3h. ✓ Following My 4-year old froze on stage at her first ballet recital. "I failed." she told me after the show. I looked at her heartbroken, with tears in my eyes. "No. I failed you. But today, you've given me more than I could've ever asked for. You gave me a sad kid story to post on LinkedIn." "Link what?" she asked. "LinkedIn." I replied. "A place where depressing personal anecdotes involving imaginary children are posted and mined for engagements in order to boost one's own professional identity." She looked at me confused. "But dad-" I cut her off. "Shhhh."

Coltin Caverhill • 3rd+ Engineering Manager at Yelp 4d. • + Follow Managers, be very careful what you say to your engineers! I commented in a slack thread. It was a simple comment of "I wish we had feature X". I thought I was being fun. I thought it would get emoji responses and we would move on. The engineers solved it. Do you know how much we pay Software Engineers!? I did not mean for them to work on this thing and solve my issue. But they wanted to make things better, and if the manager points out an issue, they felt like it should be solved. This was not a big deal, and not a ton of time was spent, but it was a good reminder for me that I am not an engineer, I am a manager. And while that title is mostly meaningless to me, it means something to others. What I say magically holds more gravity not because of the merit of the statement, because of the title I hold. By not being mindful about what I share in our public channels, I led my team to spend time on the wrong thing. CO 2,345 297 comments • 52 reposts

OPENTOWORK Jason Roeder. 3rd+ Copywriter/Comedy Writer/Editor/... 1w. + Follow I immediately remove my shoes and socks upon entering any interview. Why do I do this? If they say nothing, I know they will not enforce even the most fundamental dress code. I cannot work in such chaos. If they tell me to put them back on, I know conformity reigns in this workplace, and my creativity will suffer. I cannot work there. If they tell me to put one sock and shoe on, I know they value balance and compromise. Only then will I work there.
