This is pretty common for big artists. Bill Burr did this also to protect his content from being leaked before his special dropped.
Kevin Hart show makes you lock your phone in a case so you can’t record any of it…🤔

Getting up to leave mid-convo.
What’s the funniest thing you’ve gotten scolded for in a 1:1 at work? “Please stop saying ‘That’s why they pay me the medium bucks’ every time someone says “Thank you” it’s making people uncomfortable” comes to mind for me

Children really don’t gaf what they say. 😭

Everybody know not to ask me to take *extensive* time off my job for some silly shit because the answer is no. You know how many continuity documents I have to prepare/leave for alllll of my work to continue and for everyone to survive? 🥴

Mannn. Omg. The contempt and elitism lots of technical ppl show toward non-technical ppl is wild. It’s sad bc we literally cannot do what we do without one another. You even see the contempt bubble up across neighboring technical functions
Replying to @anthonydmays
Observation #2: There exists an implicit class system in tech that distinguishes between technical and non-technical people. At its worst, folks from one class will see themselves as more valuable or important than folks in the other class, leading to controversy and schisms where none need to exist. Tech needs its builders, yes. But it also needs marketers, lawyers, and project managers too. And one is not more intelligent than the other. Takeaway #2: Those of us who make content on this platform should proactively foster respect, camaraderie, and appreciation for those who are technical and non-technical in tech and for the work that they do. Being Black in tech is difficult enough without creating new categories of self-segregation. And if we aim to increase the representation of Black folks and other under-supported groups in tech, we should be OK with seeing them navigate into whatever area resonates with them, whether technical or non-technical.

Professionally, I used to think I was more of a sustainer and not necessarily a builder or creator. I thought I HATED ideating from scratch. Turns out I’m a builder and creator after all. I just wasn’t interested in none of that shit they thought was important to build 🥴

THIS. I used to want to be a Chief People Officer but now I’m not so sure. I think I’d rather be a Senior Program Manager and call it a damn day
People wonder why I don’t want to be in executive leadership. Project management is enough.

Currently. The pressure. The isolation. The people trying to shrink and humble you. The endless magnifying glasses even from people who aren’t even at your level of seniority. It can be exhausting.

it’s still tech company w/ noticeable majority groups who think they’re the smartest ppl in the room, so the survivorship and prove it again biases be wild and rampant. BW are typically penalized for great work by receiving even more work while everyone else gets to be mediocre

I will say—the people I work with are typically nice and I don’t experience a ton of micro aggressions like I noticed with my old company, HOWEVER
