In partnership with
Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
Confession: I used to wait in the Google Meet waiting room until I saw at least two other people in the meeting to avoid awkward small talk. 🫣 But now? I don't mind a little "how was your weekend?" chatter, even if things feel a bit awk. Turns out, there's a whole science to getting through small talk with your boss (and maybe even enjoying it?) that doesn't involve white-knuckling through the pain… and smiling through gritted teeth. 😬 And we'll teach you how below. 👇
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:
The new rules of summer workwear. Shorts for the office? Groundbreaking.
Career breaks can help you grow your career. Yes, really.
💼 Job of the day: Needing an excuse to move to Canada? 😉 Aritzia is hiring a Senior Designer, Digital Product Design in Vancouver, to help shape the digital experience for this iconic brand. The perks are pretty sweet, too, including the famous employee discount, an in-office gym, 24/7 wellness support, and 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
