The heat of the British summer wave has inspired Rinelle and James in this episode of Three More Dots to take a jaunt up, down and around the pyramids of the world. Did you know Balmoral Estate has a pyramid? What sound does a sword make? While listening you might wonder - what is that bleeping sound? This podcast's forecast looks all clear and good to go! 

In our last episode in the PIP and The Threat to Black Employees mini-series, we discuss how to recognize when things are off at work, how to be proactive in correcting them, as well as how to overcome the challenges that come with being on a PIP. Guest host  Deborah T. Owens, Founder, and CEO of Corporate Alleycat joins us in this very important and eye-opening episode!  

Performance Improvement Plans (aka PIPs) are a treasured institution in Human Resources but they are problematic especially when they are used as weapons against Black people in the workplace. The impact of being unfairly place on a PIP cannot be understated as it can affect one's professional standing as well as mental and emotional health.

In this mini-series, Jessica interviews Black professionals from various fields and backgrounds about their personal experiences with PIPs and their consequences. To start off this mini-series, she is speaking with Shamika Abraham, author of 'Stop Weaponizing PIPS Against Black Professionals' to begin discussing this issue in more depth.
