I’m pro-Galloway and got your book for Christmas. But this just sucks on Fortune’s part: “For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.”

This was kind of my reaction as well…..

Wouldn't we prefer it that way, though?

Introverts, ADHD, Autism and probably a couple others i am missing are generally ignored. Look at how many small companies produce amazing things while big compa constantly produces garbage with unlimited budgets

Or meritocracy. Just gotta kiss the right asses and always be selling yourself for a buck. This is fine.

But I don’t like people.

Did you click the link? I do not have a fortune subscription and was able to read just fine. No paywall on this one for me, so I'm not sure what you're on about...

Isn't this why we need DEI?

Galloway is so weird to me. Over many years I hired a lot of people into a lot of high paying finance jobs and none of them *ever* had an "internal advocate"

Most of the time, candidates are competing against any candidates with similar background and skills. So what do employers choose? Someone they are comfortable with.

This is kind of a no brainer. If you are cold calling with a resume you are at a disadvantage vs. an applicant who has an in. I've known quite a few waitstaff with 4 and 6 year degrees who could vouch for that.

I'd..get a good reference hire though from those who actually know me.
