Love this expansion to make Citibike more accessible for Queens residents! However the busiest intersections also have the best street vendors and are back bones of the community. Please work with them to decide placement so cherished businesses are not wrongfully displaced!

Citi Bike is expanding and we’d like to know where you’d like to see @CitiBikeNYC stations in Queens CBs 3 and 4, which includes Jackson Heights, Corona, Elmhurst, and East Elmhurst.

The @nytimes wants us back in the office. We want management to bargain with us in good faith, which includes our✨fair wage proposals✨. I’m working from home this week along with 1,300 of my @NYTimesGuild and @NYTGuildTech colleagues, with support from @WirecutterUnion.

Tip 3: "Inflation rate is hella high. Last time I checked it was 8.6%. Ask HR for an inflation rate adjustment. Normalize asking your coworkers what they make and take it to HR. If they don't change it, move on."

First tip: the importance of salary transparency. "You need to equip yourself with knowledge...When you don't know what you should be making, it hinders you so much." @thelesliexia

"When someone asks you to generate pride assets on May 15th, demand that the company is not just throwing money at the wall in June, but actually supporting throughout the year. And not only do that- but demand to be paid extra for it" 🔥🔥

"Practice stalling them. Learn the language... how to talk about total comp and how to talk
about stocks versus base salary. There's some words you can use to show ppl you know what you're doing & you're asking for what you're worth"
- @RaquelDesigns advice for salary #QDCSummit

[Queer Design Club @queerdesignclub]

"My first job out of college was $55k at Fast Company. You shouldn't be at an entry level job too long. Max 2-3 years. One of the ways to get salary increases is to hop around." @thelesliexia
