Every time I see a departing exec replaced by a white guy (coughAngelaSteele/MikeLaw) a little part of me dies inside. Every exec departure is an opportunity to increase diversity at the senior level. SMH.

If consumers prefer diversity in ads, wouldn't it make sense to have a more diverse industry? Why does agencies lack diversity?

Started at my first real firm job after quitting a nonprofit and I’m loving the new firm! But I’m the only one with pronouns in my email signature… should I bring this up? I think everyone here is cis but it would signal inclusion when we send emails, no?

I have often wondered if being honest when I fill out EEOC / diversity forms if that limits me from new work / promotions. I used to be able to hide my disability, but it is progressive so now it's not as easy to hide. Thoughts?

Just saw Black Panther for the first time - curious to hear perspectives if you all think this movie was actually good or just a good step for diversity?

Any consulting firms that are particularly good for Jews or which honor Jewish holidays? My firm has a Jewish diversity team but I’d love to learn about others.

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?

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

Can we all agree that gender reveal parties are an annoying thing to subject your friends to?

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That is all.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

What’s your gender, age, & city? After dropping your info, respond to others in your area

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?

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!

What are some racial/gender/age based micro aggressions you’ve experienced in the workplace?

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? 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. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

Anyone have any good diversity training resources?

Any tips for having to attend a team lunch and a separate happy hour while fasting? Outside of Ramadan happy hours aren’t awkward bc I’ll just drink soda or something. However, now do I just sit there and stare at them when they are drinking/munching on their lunch ? 😂

You finally start your own agency. Nice work! What do you do differently?

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

Since moving back in with my parents, I’ve noticed their internet cannot handle three people working from home. Does anyone have experience relying on a mifi full time? I know the biggest downside is the data limit, but would I be able to get a plan that would suffice for my 16 hour-long busy season days? Help me, I’m a newb :)

Anyone have experience with sem casting? This whole "rooftops" pitch has me a bit suspicious of their legitimacy

When are the promotion cycles for WPP agencies?

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

I’m white.. and a man. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Has anyone ever found their work in someone else’s portfolio? What did you do?

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

I can smell your desk from the bathroom

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

"This program needs more proper documentation!"

In front of folks who don't understand code, you think you look smart. In front of those who know code - you're an idiot covering your incompetency.

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

I can’t stand our open office so every day I go to the bathroom and hide out for 15 minutes of sanity/checking my apps so people can’t see me “not doing work” in public.

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

How many people have hooked up with someone on their team? Is it that common?

I just applied to DDB and I forgot to include a cover letter. But I did include my portfolio, resume, and references.

I HATE the term ‘snackable content’. It just makes me angry! My content should be a damn steak dinner.

I have a coworker who’s a functional alcoholic. I’ve never dealt with a situation like this before so I don’t even know if it’s my place to say something

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

I like to think of myself as calm but really I’m just dead inside.

T-minus a week until I give notice. Excited. Nervous. But so happy to get out.

I just started a new job, they are asking me to lead training. I have no experience in the subject matter. Why me?

I make poor decisions
