I think a lot of people are missing her points. She's not saying, forgo who you are and assimilate to work culture completely. She's saying treat the workplace like an environment, and you're a necessary piece of the food chain. If you're not playing your part, the entire biome or climate suffers.

@rara1800 2 ай бұрын

I think with this conversation, she is telling everyone what employers are looking for, her advice is aimed at helping people get the best chances of getting a job. Ideally, we as women SHOULD NOT be judged for wearing makeup or not (I think that is a little sexist honestly) a blazer and dressing appropriately should be enough but its not to everyone I guess.

@shashavengesayi6055 2 ай бұрын

I absolutely agree with her points on adapting to the culture of the workplace & networking with your coworkers. I, for example, hate dressing formally, but I did so for a job interview & made sure to sound professional and ready for whatever questions thrown at me. I got the job. Sure, dressing formally isn't my style, but presentation matters whether u think it is or not.

My thoughts exactly. This is pushing an agenda and for a reason. I think it’s because more Corporations are using this HR-made concept of “cultural fit” to discriminate against hiring someone who has the credentials and experience for a job that management may not care for personally/socially. Most employers are not disinterested. She sounds like a plant to spread the message to encourage jobseekers to conform after decades of DEI initiatives. Also, is it coincidence She’s peddling this conformist messaging JUST as DEI is being gutted?

@CoolPunkyGuy21 2 ай бұрын

I think people need to realize first impressions are very important when interviewing, if you interview very well and have the credentials to back it up , you have a higher chance. It also depends on the job, if you are going to be representing a company facing consumers , sales for example, a beauty counter, high end clothing store, fashion, you are going to have to do more than just chapstick. Even guys wear makeup now a days. We live in a vein world, the only thing that would change this type of bias is the law…. Discrimination against someone that doesn’t dress their best is not a protected class. By the same logic, if vanity shouldn’t be a factor when hiring , then the same can be said about higiene, not combing hair , not wearing suit… etc. they need to pick a lane and not be hypocritical saying this with a full face of makeup. Whoopie doesn’t wear makeup because she is Whoopie! The other girls would not have a job if they refused to wear makeup for a TV gig.

You are 100% right. When a boss was hitting on me, calling my phone all hours of the night and showing up at my apartment drunk telling me that they were in love with me, and if I didn’t feel the same way with them, they were going to take me. I had no choice but to go to HR with this. For this hotel for many years. I was one of the few staff that stayed there during the worst hurricane we’ve seen in Florida. We didn’t have electricity water, and I had to take care of. Guests. I worked endless hours and was always the manager on duty. I thought HR would have my back with this, but instead of standing behind me, they removed me from that position and had me work somewhere else in the hotel where I made less money. I had been working for that Hotel way longer than the woman that was sexually harassing me.

Pretending to be interested in foreign activities and meaning, is mistreating yourself, disconnecting and will destroy you. How can someone betray themselves? Love the way she's glossing over the fact that she's disregarding inclusion of diversity. It's funny the book is called What do you need.
