We Are Like Family Here

AJ & ABBY — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0600

“We're like family here”—a phrase we've all heard, but what does it really mean? In this episode of "Workplace Myths Unpacked," we take a closer look at the common saying and what companies are actually signaling when they use it. Is it a genuine reflection of a supportive environment, or is it a red flag for blurred boundaries and unrealistic expectations? Join us as we break down the pros and cons of the “work family” culture, share stories from employees who've lived it, and offer tips for creating healthy workplace relationships that don't come with the baggage of family dynamics.

Stop Guarding The Gate

AJ & ABBY — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0600

In this impactful episode, we delve into the reasons why Black professionals may engage in "gatekeeping" within corporate America. We examine the distinct obstacles Black employees encounter in corporate environments and emphasize the significance of mentorship, sponsorship, and establishing pathways for advancement. We share personal experiences of how we utilize our positions to elevate and create opportunities for others, thereby fostering diversity and representation in leadership roles. Join us for a frank discussion on community, accountability, and how to proactively pave the way for the upcoming generation of Black corporate leaders.

"Gatekeeping" in the workplace refers to the practice of individuals, often those in positions of power, who restrict access to opportunities or information for others, particularly those from marginalized groups.
