Give us the ☕️

I read the entire article. My initial thoughts.. I am not deep in the details with Uber's history. I do not think Lee hosted the event with ill intent. I think it's more of a "you share your experience and I'll share mine (or allow others to do the same)." The article says that minority employees don't see an issue with using the term/ label "Karen" to call out behavior, yet they suggest that the event presentation was "tone-deaf". I think not being open to another experience in the workplace is tone-deaf. So, what's the actual "move forward" part of DEI if we're quick to attack vs. discuss.

I’m not sure if you’re serious. Based on the discussions, it’s acknowledged that Karen is just another synonym for racist. Article states “Uber staffers who attended the two events…said they felt they had been lectured on… why “Karen” [racist] was a derogatory term.” Furthermore, “A second questioned why the term Karen shouldn’t be used:…”Like why can’t bad behavior not be called out?””

So you think the minority employees not being open to another’s experience as a racist in the workplace is them being tone deaf??? There doesn’t need to be a “move forward” conversation about this. What is there to discuss in an empathetic manner about people being racist? If white people are really vested in abolishing racism, then racist behaviors and actions should just not be tolerated.

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being. I have gone from Rock Star to problem when people "found out". I have trained and promoted hundreds of people and been passed over for promotions because of not being a man. I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

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.

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.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs.

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

1. Frequency of positive engagements (positive in a productive, constructive sense)
2. Increasing numbers of people engaging in each topic as they get more comfortable using the tool and airing their opinions
3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)

What are your thoughts?

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗
