Agency Idea: The Ginger Group. Redheads only. You should see our Diversity and Inclusion page!

Hello! Does anyone have any feedback they’d like to share on BIP (Business Integration Partners) specifically the Milan/Rome offices? I really like the way the firm presents itself online, though the lack of diversity in their leadership is astonishing…
Thank you!

My fiancé and I both have the CSR card and Freedom Unlimited combo and love them. We are thinking of adding another card and we were considering the Amex Platinum (to diversity transfer partners) or likely a United card for lounge access since we live in Chicago.

Does anyone else have both CSR and Amex Platinum? Would you recommend?

Hello fishes, Do you have suggestions on Diversity & Inclusion activities that can be done virtually with a group? I found few ideas in google but would love to hear about any experiences and suggestions.

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

We are exploring having a third party come in and assess our I&D efforts across our company. We have many locations across North America. Is anyone aware of an entity who does this? We have found questionnaires through target organizations and have done anonymous employee surveys but are hoping to find someone who can do an assessment for gender, minorities, disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+, etc. and provide feedback on the actual employee experience and where we may have blind spots.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

Was at an event recently. Seems like advertising really only cares about diversity as it applies to white women. I think this industry wants to stay white.

I had IVF process to get pregnant. During pre- embryo transfer we were told that girl embryo is being transferred. Currently I am 18 week pregnant. I had anatomy scan and we found out we are having a boy. Baby looked all healthy but due to gender discrepancy, We are asked to do additional testing and genetic disorder screening. Anyone had similar experience?

What do you think is the best diversity initiative in London?

Just want to cry out here.🙃

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.

Why this bowl is so silent?

Curious how many folks are working on Covid projects? Is it all you talk about? Or just a few things here and there? I’m seeing a shift in brand tone. Seems like it’s not just a one off anthem ad.

Anyone up for watching the Euro 2020 finals this Sunday? M30

Hey everyone! Does anyone have a list of top companies in the US that are truly diverse and inclusive. I’m disabled poc and a recent grad as of December 2021 and I’m looking to start applying to other jobs as my current company has not been accommodating at all. TIA!

Who knows about Goosehead insurances work culture. 5 min into sourcing I’m seeing some discouraging statistics about who they move up faster vs who they don’t. I have a interview this week and I don’t know if I should even continue forward. My main goal is growth and if it’s going to be an unfair environment then that’s a no go.

Anyone have a Southern Hemisphere Island that you’d let someone come to purchase items at your stores and do some fishing?

How did you get started in your career as an FA? I work in the home office and have been an assistant to an FA before. I have a network, I have ambition, I have credibility and connections at my firm..

Hi All! I will be interviewing soon for a Microsoft Quality Experience PM role and would love to connect with anyone who has been through the MS interviewing process!

I find myself struggling the explain things with the same eloquence as my colleagues. How can I improve my consulting speak? Any recommended books?

Any PPT productivity plug-in recs (solo license)? Used Templafy (loved it) at my last firm, but they apparently only do Corp subscriptions. Looking for a good, affordable one I can get expensed at my new firm that has no plug-in.

Hi! My friend found a stray dog that gave birth to puppies. They need help with finding a living space for the dogs. Anyone who can foster, plz dm me. Also, please share any advice or sheltors/ fosters. Thank you

What are some of your strategies to help push out “what your company has been up to”? Utilizing platforms such as LinkedIn, IG, company websites are covered! How else do you prefer to promote company events?

Honestly how long have you been seeking a new job and to what extent are you searching... someone give me some hope

Just tell me what you like and what you don’t ffs. I don’t want to have to “talk” about it.

Anyone else cursed with desperately wanting someone to tell you what to do to get better, but knowing that you would never listen?

I don’t understand people who choose the bathroom stall next to yours when EVERY OTHER stall is free

Does anyone really, really love their job? Or do you just do it to pay bills and get to the weekend? I'm curious how many people actually truly love what they do

I can do my job better than 87 percent of the people who have my job title. Maybe 88 percent. Still unemployed

I know I'll only have been at this company for 6 months come this December's performance review but I'm thinking about asking for a raise or at least a job title change. I found out the reason (cont.)

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

A jr team working on social part of a campaign, which I oversaw as well, just claimed credits on their social channels for my spots, which they didn’t concept, write, or produce... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I spend every free second i have at work searching for jobs or scrolling through fishbowl.

I have over 20,000 unread emails in my inbox.

Salary range for a jaded, disillusioned and lazy producer with questionable professional ethics. Oh yes, 10+ years (well maybe 6) experience in NYC. $200k seem about right? Asking for friend.

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

I’m tired of the arrogance and male techno-superiority. Where are the humans with feelings, vulnerability, joy in all of this?

I wake up every night holding my breath lmao. Idk if that’s classic sleep apnea or if my body is subliminally trying to off itself while I’m not paying attention.

Can’t stop thinking about that CCO post on here where he was giving amazing advice away! Where can I find it?! 😩 help me fishies! 🐠

I work so much that I don’t have time to wash my hair more then once a week😑

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Anyone else’s boss make them work until 630 on a Friday every single week? Please save me.
