Best company to work for in the Triangle - NC area? Preferably with high diversity.

I attended a racial identity workshop in my district, and it was horrible! Argh! What are the best workshops out there for diversity ?

I have taught Pk-2 (full time aides) & SpEd inclusion K-8 with parapros. This will be my first time alone in a classroom of 27 3rd graders. What is your favorite project to do in 3rd??

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.

Such a great discussion. I’ve just started a bowl for diversity in London specifically if anyone is interested - 9qo8f

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

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.

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters. I work with (not in) the I&D dept at my company and our target recruiting groups don’t include or mention indigenous. Any recruiters here that have insight?

How did you begin to implement equity and inclusion into your organization?

Thank you Nadia for your insights. I’m frustrated gaps still exist in the industry; and the diversity & inclusion needle hasn’t move much since Al Sharpton protested on Madison Ave in the 90’s

Anyone have any good diversity training resources?

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

Curious what people's age ranges for dating are. There's the classic "half your age plus seven" rule, but wondering if that's actually followed.

Please comment below with your age, gender, and range.

I've recently went to a restaurant and saw a robot waiter, I thought that was the coolest thing. What do you all feel about this shift in the restaurant industry?

Partner went to bat for me! 🙂
Last night, I got a nastygram from a client who basically wanted to forego due diligence in a major buyout we’re helping him with. “Stop requesting documents and just draft me my docs.” But we literally don’t know who owns what right now, terrible corporate records. This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.

Second year associate here. How should I deal with the one partner in my practice group who seems to exclusively give me lousy assignments that we’ll never get paid for? I get great work from everyone else.

Had virtual interviews (4 hours) with V5 a week ago. Met with everyone in the practice group. Haven’t heard anything since. Anything I should do at this time? Edit: Already sent thank-you notes within 24 hours after the interview.

How do you respond to friends/family/strangers who ask for legal advice?

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor. Anyone find a solution for this (aside from standing up and moving, which would be very awkward)? I can't rearrange my office.

I'm 4 years qaulfied & in an accounts based role with exposure to personal tax. Starting to feel my learning is slowing down. Due to acquisitions I feel like I'm falling down the pecking order and while I love it there concerned about my long term direction.

Ultimately I want to start up on my own and currently thinking if I use the next year to gain an tax based qailfication (ACA) looking at ATT?

Alot to unpack but welcome advice, would I benefit from ATT/advice on starting up?

Trying to go to Universal Studios but getting hung up on which park package to pick. Would love to hear people's experience. I am looking to get a day pass only for 3 people

Hi. So I'm about to begin employment with United HealthGroup. It will be for Medicare recipients. I have some years experience with Medicaid. Any advice? I know, at first, it'll be working on the phones. Any thoughts also on how to get off the phones or how to move into other positions? Thank you.

So where are y’all going to go after this is over?

Good gyms (besides equinox) that aren’t crowded/small?
Debating between Blink or Crunch, any preferences?

I have the opportunity to work on a pitch deck (an expansion of business) for my client and all the screenshots I used from one of our case studies are primarily of POC.

I feel like I did good.

Anyone working in Wallmart global tech?

You're a new manager with direct reports. One of your directs is very determined. You consider yourself a good manager so you want to help them grow. They are killing it and taking on an enormous of workload, and executing flawlessly. Do you let them continue killing it? Ask how they're doing? Or warn/advise them on how to avoid burnout?

Which Big4 Firms in Texas provide the best chance for Asians to make partners/managing directors ?

Where's all my asian friends at??

Nine months in and already feeling so unmotivated. Busy season was tough but nonbusy time is even worse.

How do you deal with trying to live and establish a life of your own but also making sure to grateful and aware of the sacrifices your family has made to get you to where you are now?

Hi Friends,
Has anyone encountered direct racism as a result of Trump’s rhetoric and the usage of the “Chinese virus” despite warnings from the WHO/CDC to not do that?

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?

Are there any diversity clubs/groups in B4/EY? Are they worth it in terms of meeting new people/networking/making friends?

I feel horrible about myself every time I go to networking event...Does anyone feel the same about networking events?

Any side hustle ideas? Big 4 compensation is a joke and will be a joke in the next few years 🙃
