New month. Still work to do.
November is for organizing, checking in on your people, and staying loud—even when the streets get quiet.

For FY26, we will contribute $100 million to the pension fund. This investment helps smooth out some of the underperformance prior to 2018. We must ensure the stability of our pension fund so that our retirees can rest easily in the time that they have earned. #TheWorkContinues

Last night around 6:30PM, a coworker scheduled a “quick” call — and then asked me to set up a follow-up meeting for 7:30PM today, on #Juneteenth. They even invited another coworker. (And no, none of them are melanated.)
I didn’t say anything because I always hand this kind of thing over to God.
