A line was crossed in tech and the design community. How @iamharaldur is being treated by @elonmusk is just disgraceful.

If you plan to work remotely, it would obviously be beneficial to work for a company that is “all-in” on remote vs one that is tentative or standing in the River Styx. Consider working for @Zillow.

Work that normally gets pushed aside during times of growth velocity becomes top priority. Everything should be about step change and being ready to exit out of the gates running. Design is at the center of that work. 3/4

Creating healthy businesses through amazing customer experiences is always the goal, but when you can't control the business focus on the experience. The business will come back and your users will notice how you've invested your time. 4/4

Recently I posted a job position on LinkedIn for a VP of Design Operations at Zillow. The response from my Design Ops colleagues and friends started a conversation that’s worth summarizing…🧵1/7

And frankly, this tends to be a strength of women leaders and may be a reason why we see so many women in COO roles. 6/7

So yes, I’m putting operations at the top of my list when building and maturing a team. We are valuing the “what” and the “how” equally. Here’s the role in case anyone at this level is interested: career.zillowgroup.com/caree… 7/7
