Many highlights from this week but one of my favourite is the slack message from @_kristenspencer that was like “in case you want to meet them, here’s the 10 people I hired while you were gone!”

Taking a moment to celebrate the fact that I while I was off work for 6 weeks, my team operated just fine without me. It took years to get here. The management dream!

It's the last week of my "sabbatical", but reading this blog post by @_kristenspencer makes me excited to get back to working with all these wonderful individuals 💜 https://t.co/beFCub9qJ0

I'm halfway through a 6-week "sabbatical" from work. I used the first half to rest and recover, and gather enough mental strength to google "tax planning for US citizens residing in Canada"

I hate this stuff! Anyone in a similar situation have an accountant they'd recommend?

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@dileshnij I gave up on Clockwise and went back to manually scheduling things once they started this aggressive sales model. Seems like it backfired for them!

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@aeolianharps My favourite thing is offering someone way more than they asked for. Or better yet, just telling them the bands early in the process.

Finding a mentor can be hard, but it can also be such a game changer for you and your career. We've got an awesome mentorship program @JoinLeague (beyond just Engineering!)

All I think about when I read articles like this is how this would never happen if men were the ones who got pregnant. And yet every unwanted pregnancy is caused by a man. https://t.co/TkRCdgXPaj

Today is the 49th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

Roe is “unlikely to make it to 50 in any recognizable form,” write @IlanaPL and @lauren_kelley. https://t.co/C2Sp2mxkmK

@_kristenspencer @dcwca @heatherpayne I’m flattered! But also I agree with you. The biggest factor in deciding to join League vs. other opportunities was who my boss would be.

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@_kristenspencer I oddly find my mood better today. Like, I can convince myself we're all at home because of the snow vs. because of the endless pandemic. Makes it somehow more "normal".

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

I’m biased but @_kristenspencer is absolutely amazing. So many great opportunities to join her growing team https://t.co/rhjgtjw9t1

[Kristen Mehendale Spencer @_kristenspencer]

I am hiring! A lot! Right now! And so is everyone else in tech. So why might you want to consider working with me at @JoinLeague? (More info + links to jobs in thread)

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@Antlam @Anti_Hype You do know we’re hiring designers, right? 😉

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

Ahhh so excited for @Anti_Hype to join my team on Monday! https://t.co/jjg2fD2wnS

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

I’m so excited we’ve reached the scale of building a dedicated build and release team. A cool opportunity to join and help build this team! https://t.co/jaSszbMX3z

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

It was a process for sure, but we are now set up to hire full time employees in Europe. The next stage of global expansion! Get in touch if any roles of our career page look like a fit https://t.co/nWYsilJ1Sv

Managing virtual junior kindergarten requires 100% attention. Especially when it’s in French and your kid isn’t a confident French speaker. My work is suffering but at least my French is getting better? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@aeolianharps I hope you get better! I found that CBD helped me without bad after effects. Also exercise and outside time. But easier said than done of course.

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

@BrandonMChu 😭😭😭❤️

[Margaret Leibovic @mleibovic]

Love this post by @_kristenspencer about leveling up the senior engineers on your team. Great timing considering this week we announced promotions for 3 senior engineers in her group! https://t.co/JGiVIu0A2W

@dileshnij The next level is when people say they want to take things “up a click”
