Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Rasháanda Cook to discuss further.

Discussion Insight: What is meritocracy? What are the conditions that make it work as described? Why do performance evaluations suck so much? What are the biases in performance reviews that we need to look out for as Black and brown folk at work?
