Hi Guys, wats up in Volvo. I am recent joiner to volvo,my manager is insisting I come to office 2 days a week and relocate to base location, he is insisting this is HR policy. Though I asked him I can work 8 days from office in a month together & rest from my home, but he is not accepting. Any advises how to mitigate this issue. Volvo

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment
My boyfriend just found my vibe...

That’s kind of funny actually. I don’t know what the read of the room was like, but I probably would have chuckled. Sometimes, we need to take things less seriously.
Plenty of people will laugh. And plenty of people will see nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile women and minorities will stay on the outside of these jokes. Glad to see company leadership actually takes diversity initiatives seriously 🙄
To be clear I’m not offended, but it was hilariously cringey how tone-deaf he was about the situation
The people that would have called him out on his BS wasn’t even invited to the room. I hope the people saying it’s not a big deal understands this statement.
So true that why he was too comfortable
Hahahah yeah def scared to make these jokes. HR email the following morning “did you belittle diversity training?!?...fired!”
Until you walk a mile in the shoes of a minority person, you will never know how offensive this is. Also, based on the comments here, many of you never walked that mile.
Again, US is such a diverse country, so don’t assume that white person is automatically a privileged one and can’t walk in the shoes of a “minority". So many white people escaped wars, soviet religious persecution, extreme poverty, etc. I grew up in a “White” country and we had our hoods, and I was growing up in one of them.
To your surprise 95% white male could very diverse.
I’m thinking about starting a movement, so white people would be differentiated amongst each other:
Slavic White
Aryan white
Scandinavian white
Magyar White
Baltic white
Celtic White
We can continue the list :)
Please laugh at it okay. Don’t get offended
Boston Consulting Group thank you for your response! To the rest: Diversity in the US is meant to refer to "minority" groups all of which maybe very diverse itself (EG Hispanics are not all Mexican). The fact that this audience was 95% of one race and one gender does not make it "diverse".
I’m a minority and I think you’re taking that joke too seriously. Why everyone would rather be offended than have a conversation these days is beyond me
For the most part
Dunno abt the rest of you, but the “diversity training” I’ve received via web classes and pre-recorded videos is bad enough that I’d crack jokes too.
Tbh, if I had to take issue with something in that situation, it’d be that the C-suite needs to do more to reflect the gender, racial and socioeconomic diversity of its employees, rather than a silly tongue-in-cheek joke
D2 do you really think that there are just 5% women in consulting? There is more to it than just who applies for the job.
I’m offended by this post. Does that make it wrong/bad? Feelings aren’t everything. I hope the OP never goes a comedy show
Quick questions for those of you who found it funny/not reasonable for someone to be offended (even though something can be both funny AND offensive):
If the scenario was as follows would you be of the same opinion?
Scenario:
Room of 20 people, 19 able-bodied, 1 person in a wheel chair.
The C-suite executive jokes that they’ve passed a training on disability access because [insert similarly barely analogous skill/capability]. Everyone but the person in the wheel chair laughs (maybe because he/she finds the joke bad or maybe because he/she is remembering how hard it was to maneuver that wheelchair into the building, through narrow hallways, up a small set of stairs, and into the room...and how he/she will need to do it all again to get out)
Questions:
1. Does that above make you want to cringe or laugh?
2. Would you want to be in that room in that moment?
3. If you were the one person in the wheelchair, how would you feel in that moment and after?
4. As a c-suite executive, would you be favor of creating the environment implied by your answers to 1-3?
Terrible joke by someone who is the supposedly gate keeper. The tone is set at the top and if c-suite think diversity is a joke then the room will continue to be 95% white male.
This entire thread is precisely why people need diversity training. Best of luck to the people of
colour who work with some of you, I hope they have great mental health care
I’m Black @C3, go posture for someone else, thanks.
Is it just me or anyone else didn’t understand this joke too?
Anyone care to explain?
A senior leader made light of diversity by suggesting it was as trivial as learning how to use two types of mobile devices
funny but definitely cringe-worthy ....it’s more that he didn’t look around to realize the irony
That’s said as a female, wouldn’t offend me, I would just think poor guy has a lot to learn
