Accenture webcast on performance cycle: "Will prioritize women who have shown readiness for promotion". WTF? Way to alienate half of our employees.

Imo the ideal state of performance evaluation is 100% gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc agnostic

Prioritize women? Was that really the statement and intent of the message? As a woman, I'm not looking for favors, but I do want to be considered as equals with my male counterparts and not overlooked because of gender. I don't want a handout.

Everyone calm down. OP is LYING about what was said on the webcast. Women are not, repeat NOT, being prioritized over men.

Women WHO ARE PROMOTION READY are being prioritized over those who are not. The conversation was soley about promotion readiness, not about gender-specific advancement.

Anyone who thinks this is a fair point probably doesn't understand the true value of diversity. I'm guessing these are the same people who have an auto-rule to delete the inclusion and diversity emails. If you are a real champion of equality and feminism, you will understand the comment. It's just a way it to make it transparent.

Julie Sweet is your CEO. She's going to promote a lot of woman. I heard that woman who are planning to resign are being asked to stay back to get promoted.

What is the alternative to that policy? Have we previously not prioritized promotion ready women over non-promotion ready women. That would surprise me

A3, I'm not having a pissy fit. If 2 people have shown readiness for promotion, and there's only 1 spot available, why should it come down to their gender?

Yeah, A2, it was a throwaway line in a bullshit answer in the Q&A, and OP's insecurity alarms went off and he had to throw a pissy little fit about it.

Thats a stupid post by A3. If some is promotion ready of course he/she will prioritized. Its an universal law. no need to mention woman.

I wrote to HR and got a response that they are indeed prioritizing women by "looking at the whole picture". Yes these are exact quotes.

Op. You heard and saw it right. Accept the fact that in new age lot of these things will happen. Look how most companies are establishing woman ceo. Marissa Mayer enjoyed her stretch. I am not opposed to this movement but it hurts when I am impacted by it.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
