Made Cacio butter
Hi,
I have joined ACTI a month back in Kolkata in L9. I wanted to opt for Company Car Lease policy just to save TAX but finding it too complicated.
I had raised queries to payrole and they have replied with a suggestion to think twice before opting for this benifit.
What do you all suggest, who have already opted for it?Accenture
Can someone kindly connect me with Investment Banking HR/Recruiter/anyone willing to help? My friend interviewed for Goldman Sachs NY. Cleared the HireVue but didn’t get any communication further. It’s been 4 weeks now. Although the referral came from a VO but the division is different. My friend is looking for Investment Banking division. Need to get in touch with someone from investment banking to push the resume. The rolling process is hurting the chances.Thank you Goldman Sachs

I think the purpose of DEI initiatives is to ensure that companies are making space for people who are often marginalized. Encouraging company leaders to gain new perspectives.
I think the hope is that DEI opens the door for people to think and work differently; and once people are immersed in a new environment, they will often naturally evolve in their thinking and reconsider their biases
Very well said!
DEI, if not implemented thoughtfully, might inadvertently create perceptions of reverse discrimination or quota-based hiring, potentially overshadowing the merit-based selection of candidates.
We had an incident that almost resulted in multiple lawsuits for our University because of misguided DEI perceptions/practices. A female department head attempted to fire all the male staff and promote all the female staff in 2021 with the aim of promoting her department as being a more diverse and female-led workplace. This led to one of the male staff filing a formal complaint with EO.
Further complicating this case were allegations that the head of EO also harbored a bias against white males and allowed that bias to hinder this and other Title IX investigations. As you can imagine, things spiraled out of control, and the University was lucky not to have been sued.
This case drives home the point that DEI efforts must be balanced, ensuring that the focus remains on creating opportunities for all, promoting a diverse workforce, and recognizing individual merits and qualifications rather than solely fulfilling perceived quotas or superficially addressing diversity issues. DEI, when applied correctly, can enhance workplace culture, drive innovation, and contribute to the overall success of an organization. However, when misapplied, it can lead to reverse discrimination and undermine the goals it seeks to achieve.
Can you explain how DEI makes it “worse”?
That’s just racism.
Racism is not the reason. Chinese immigrants in the US and UK outperform on almost all metrics such as education, divorce rates, domestic violence rates, and average income. Black culture doesn’t do well in these - that’s not from racism. Sorry.
I was purely quoting UK in all the statistics above.
You cannot compare the two countries. The relevant comparison is ethnicities under ONE governance model - which in this case, is the UK.
China, however, has raised the most people out of poverty ever. Don’t be so down on them.
They’re not fleeing their own country, but some do choose to immigrate yes. They have 1.4 billion people. There are only around 10 million abroad…who have actually left China. Less than 1%.
