Writing Reflection 07: Workplace Diversity + Should I Always Listen to my Boss

The writing reflection for this week covers the lectures "Workplace Diversity" and "Should I Always Listen to my Boss". This reflection is due on 3/10 at 12pm.

These reflections are an opportunity for you to share your own thoughts on these topics. Writing in the first person, taking divergent viewpoints, and bringing in ideas from outside of class are encouraged. Write as if you are targeting a public audience. Particularly insightful or convincingly contrarian statements might be shared with the entire class in lecture or in the course slack.

With this writing reflection, consider the time you will spend at work and the people you will spend it with:

  1. Do you think that you'll be able to achieve what you'd like to in your early career by working a reasonable number of hours per week? (Say around 40 hours per week for a definition of "standard".) Explain why or why not. 
  2. Imagine that you are a project manager putting together a software team to develop an API for point-of-sale automation at restaurants and retail stores. What would you like that team to look like? Also imagine that you have a blank check from the company and can hire whoever you want. Who are you recruiting and where are you recruiting them from?  

Grading
