As a non-white male, how often have you seen other groups being the face of your firm? These include LinkedIn posts, conference panels, event facilitators, hosts and so on.

This bowl is full of DEI haters so this was always going to go poorly.

But as an American born Desi, this is an interesting question of when representation would ‘count’ on the surface but doesn’t feel like it. Plenty of Desi leaders at the firm and are often speaking, etc. but very rarely are they American born/been in the States since early childhood.

Obviously better than never seeing Desis in leadership, but there’s a big difference in our stories and the challenges we face.

So DEI is only about quotas?

Who cares. Get a life. Theres a beautiful world out there and you’re here thinking about whether other people with the same skin tone and race as you are getting their pictures put on a LinkedIn post? That’s the saddest thing I’ve read this week.

That's not really something I'm actively thinking about day-to-day, but looking at a conference I spoke at a couple days ago... quite a lot of the speakers weren't white males... white males probably made up about a third of the total speakers.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
