You • Saved our ass by taking initiative
Ahead of time and building an internal tool without being asked
My solution is a solution for other teams in ford using auth. It’ll help everyone
Also I’m dead at the visibility? My friend at ford (Ik him from before, outside of ford) I’m assuming saw my message offering hep and sent me a message I’m dead

Thomas Kopczynski • nice dude!
Yeah lmao idk who to go to to provide all teams that use auth the tool
Cuz it’s fire
also the concern i brought up, kulveer said he'd connect w me but hasn't yet, but he raised the discussion in our slack channel
i clearly documented everyting

Thomas Kopczynski • yea i dunno, i sent him a note asking for quick action and he didnt reply

You • i dont think he likes that im dipping
idk maybe thats not the case
but i have a publication where i talk about lack of rigor and lack of incentive
theres not much incentive
u wanna know how i even tried to speed up the discussion?
this is called leveraging the strength of weak ties, a concept in social network analysis regarding social capital and triad relationships

Thomas Kopczynski • i just dont get him
but
it is what it is

You • im ready to lock in and knock this v2 stuff out whenever
i mean im doing it already but you know what i mean
im good at flow state
been doing it since a kid

Thomas Kopczynski • dude u just need to focus on next yr
did u submit?

You • no im talking to darpan rn and getting his opinions
today i wlll submit
ok thomas this is gonna sound crazy
but i have a theory
ik u said theres an algorithm
but both my intern supervisor and my fcg rotation i was on a desi team. i am born here but desi descent
i had a thought that maybe i get put in south asian teams for inclusivity or matching or some shit

Thomas Kopczynski • hmmm

You • am i crazy to assume
i guess we'll find out if third times the charm

Thomas Kopczynski • i dunno tbh, i mean they do have DEI stuff going on…..myb they look at those things for placement? but wouldnt make sense they would lump ppl together?

You • tell em to stop
cuz i want diversity
too
jk ik u cant just tell em to stop
and they decide
but i dont wanna be a statistic or whatever

Thomas Kopczynski • yea i hear u

You • yeah i just dont want my race to affect my placement in a role because that means i can miss out on rotations that i really want like 3055 (which has people my age so theres less dissonance plus im good at stuff so i can extend knowledge like i did with a person we lost on our team (tae))

Thomas Kopczynski • totally
i hear u 

You • like dei i totally get it
i understand how race is a factor from the business side

Thomas Kopczynski • would honestly be a question for the committee and i dunno if they reveal the secrets of their algorithm

You • but theres no correlation for me getting along with desi's better than another race
"i ain't got no type"
esp since i am the first to be born here on both sides of my family
i dont have immediate family outside of my parents and sister here
and my sister wasnt born here just me
i navigated both domains but i was raised here yk
if the rotation i liked and wanted had a desi supervisor
thats a different story! then yes please place me in!
lmao

Thomas Kopczynski • yea i hear u

You • not in order yet

Thomas Kopczynski • ohh u wanna do PM stuff?

You • i removed cloud engineer i'll sshare my thoughts in a second. trying to think of the last pick
I wanna make decisions
have influence
sit at a table where its battle of opinions

Thomas Kopczynski • got ya
good

You • also i got a lot of ideas
always thinking
some could be good

Thomas Kopczynski • good!

You • sat on it, this is what i submitted

Thomas Kopczynski • niiice
