I do have thoughts on parental leave policies at startups. Shared them for @Inc! I don’t have a sleeve tattoo but as an army vet, I probably should 💪 inc.com/roxanne-petraeus/how…

😱 Office dating is common, even within managerial relationships. Okay, not surprising. But training and policies should address this. Ostrich approach not recommended. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I’m biased but think this is a good read, unless you love vaping. #selfpromotion
“No dating, ever” is like the Whole30 of HR— way too extreme to be effective. Just one gem from our Valentine’s Day musings on office dating best practices. Any tips we missed? link.medium.com/UEWMUyDl13

My husband was v embarrassed that I blew through Cheer in 2 days until @jiatolentino wrote about it. Now he’s all, “high-low art.” 🙄 I’d watch Lexi reflect on her decision making process for hours.

Deep into @netflix’s Cheer and from what I understand, a cheer squad is basically an army unit. Monster on tap, intense fitness coupled with poor nutrition, lots of “I’m not playing games,” and legal issues brought up to leadership with “can I get your advice.” 🥇

Watched a man glance sideways and then furiously dump a bag of frozen hamburger patties into a subway trash can. “Gotta love this city,” my husband said, putting the best possible spin on the situation.

Last night, a former army, Harvard student asked if I was a company commander with @spetraeus. Either I look like a hardened prior service guy (unlikely) or I look 32. No brainer.
