“If you do not realise this, and assume that everyone who says they are working eight hours per day actually is, you are probably going to wreck your mental health trying to keep up with them. Stop it at once.”

I’ve been thinking lately about what “professionalism” means. This is a great part of it.

“This is the part where I say something about how more diverse teams build better products, and how diversity of backgrounds, identities, and opinions leads to better decisions. That is all true. However, in this organization we value diversity and inclusivity because that is the morally and ethically correct thing to do. That it benefits us, our customers, and the company is nice. We will do it regardless of how true that is. If inclusivity fails to benefit us, our customers, or the company, we will seek to realign that conflict rather than cease being inclusive.” (The whole thing is this good.)
