💬 A Realization: This Might Be Career Suicide — But It Might Also Be Leadership

I’m fully aware that my tenacity on LinkedIn, especially in pushing for transparency and accountability from platforms like #Nextdoor, could be seen by some as “career suicide.”

And yet… I’m still here. Still speaking. I’m still asking for someone — anyone — in leadership to reach out and have a conversation.

Why?
Because I’m doing what I believe is right for:

✅ Neighbors
✅ Users
✅ Shareholders
✅ Employees
✅ Advertisers
…and for the integrity of the digital communities we all rely on.

If a company publicly claims a mission of connecting neighbors, then following through on that mission isn’t optional — it’s essential. A mission statement isn’t a slogan; it’s a promise. And promises matter.

Apathy lets problems perpetuate.
When someone is stranded on the side of the road and I drive past, I become part of the problem — not the solution.

That’s not who I am.

Some may interpret my persistence as disruptive.
But an employer with vision will see something different:

• Tenacity
• Courage to ask hard questions
• Creativity
• Strategic use of tools and platforms
• Commitment to community
• Leadership traits necessary in Learning & Development

In L&D, we’re asked to challenge the status quo, improve processes, identify gaps, and advocate for people who may not have a voice. That’s precisely what I’m doing here.

So yes — maybe this is risky.
But leadership often is.

If anyone from #Nextdoor would like to have an honest conversation, my door, phone, and inbox are open. I’m not attacking; I’m advocating. And I genuinely believe we can build something better when we start with dialogue.
