14:22Guy RosenHow are you holding up?
14:22Guy RosenSorry everything is blowing up : (
14:26Monika Leigh BickertI have some real concerns about how some stuff was handled by Nick, so that's not good. (E.g., him telling Sheryl in a meeting that our experts weren't willing to back up our policy, when in fact we had reached out to 3 experts as soon as we heard about the escalation and all 3 provided public quotes for attribution, and we had sent those to Nick and he had said he didn't want them.)
14:27Monika Leigh BickertBUT on the bright side, I heard that at the Sheryl meeting, Cox and Schrep were really good and understood the policy
14:27Monika Leigh BickertI was in meetings on other stuff
14:27Monika Leigh BickertBut that was great to hear!
14:27Monika Leigh BickertSo overall, I'm fine
14:27Guy RosenThe SSI thing is hard and thrashy: (
14:27Monika Leigh BickertI want to figure out how we bring Nick along to a place where he feels like we are part of his team and not against him
14:28Monika Leigh BickertIt was a REALLY bad day for Tiggy. She was on family vacation in Spain AND had food poisoning
14:28Guy RosenOh no :(
14:28Monika Leigh BickertYeah! And i could barely step out of stuff to help her, and she doesn't have any senior people on her team, although we just got a few heads for her that should help.
14:28Monika Leigh BickertTiggy told me the meeting with the experts went well today and they reached a good place.
14:29Monika Leigh BickertSo that's good too.
14:29Monika Leigh BickertMostly, I'm just concerned about the Nick stuff.
14:29Guy RosenI saw Adam this morning, his takeaway from that is that we are not aligned with experts that much. De facto we are doing bad tihngs like leaving it up and discoverable and no one thinks that's good
14:30Monika Leigh Bickertwell, the discoverability thing is REALLY bad. There is no question that they need to fix that. But that's not our policies. They should be blocking the heck out of those hashtags.
14:30Monika Leigh BickertAnd the way IG displays stuff in search definitely violates our policies
14:30Monika Leigh BickertI think none of us had realized that before
