Welcome! I see you've found your way here.
I'm Alan, and this newsletter, Productivity, Without Privilege, is a space where I’ll share tips, news, and stories, and I'll build on some of the ideas in the book, and also offer some commentary on the ways that those of us without the privilege of being in the majority in our workplaces can thrive. We'll talk about what it's like to be marginalized at work, whether you're a person of color, a religious minority, discriminated against because of your gender or sexuality, disability, or mental health. We'll also talk about how to work around people with preconcieved ideas about who you are and what that means for your work, and how to succeed in spite of them, if you have to.
The title for this newsletter was actually the original title for my book, Seen, Heard, Paid: The New Work Rules for the Marginalized, which of course I would love you to buy, so please—check it out wherever books are sold.
