Here's a new platform for Black professionals:

Hello Everyone,

I hope all of you are doing well! I am new to Fishbowl and new to the Healthcare field. I very recently graduated with a B.A. in Human Resource Management and currently working as a Sourcing Specialist for TidalHealth - a large healthcare group in my area.

I was introduced to this app by a colleague of mine and am hoping to have a positive and education experience! I will be trying my best to keep interacted with members here and learn as much as I can.

Kind regards,

Zach

Has anyone wanted to voice out at their company, colleagues, or civ friends whining about covid how the remote work is hard. They work and live in their home and now they need a therapist. Has anyone compared how military do that non stop? Service members work and live at the same place. They can’t even grocery shop which was the highlight of most during Covid. Shouldn’t people show more appreciation for the military now that they have lived a small part of our lives?

Does anyone know if Accenture tracks freelancers on their own equipment?

Na wer ist denn noch im Wahnsinn des Monats-Closure ;)

Any pharma agency peeps need video or art producer freelance help? Hit me up here!

Maybe a dumb question, but what's really the difference between a manager and a senior associate?

I get that M is in the chain of command, but I see SA often running workstreams without oversight...

Anyone transfer from big 4 to GT? What was the raise they offered you?

I am looking to transition into Medical billing and coding. Any assistance with which may be the best online school to go to would be greatly appreciated. Also any information as to how the pay scale is structured whether is it based on the certification you get or the place you work such a hospital, doctors office ect. Would be greatly appreciate it. Thank you 🙏

Anyone homeowners use Stillwater insurance group for home coverage? Any advice on their service and claim process?

"Mother of all bombs" - ironic that its the spawn of the patriarch?

Anyone figure out how to use point for rental cars?? I feel like it is the final frontier of point usage. Well I guess there is Amtrak too

How's job security at adidas tech hub gurgaon

After 6 weeks off work, I went back,today, to a company I used to work with years ago, today. Good job with Work/life balance.Make a consistent 100k+. I took the job because the industry I was coming from is very seasonal and hiring won't be in demand until spring next year. Later this afternoon, one of the companies I interviewed with called me back for 3rd interview. This job is riskier but 150k plus, which what I was used too. I ll probably get the job. Should i take it?

I'm a manager in NYC and I have a recruiter telling me the best I can do is accounting manager in industry bc companies want ppl with a mix of public and private. Anyone got any leads on recruiters?

God imagine working DEI at Twitter 😂😅

I’m trying to cultivate discussion oriented DEI spaces, any topical themes that would make fun and engaging discussions?

Hey! I created a bowl for DEIB practitioners and employers/hiring managers who need contractors or candidates .

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?
Racism?

The first time I ignored that, but now it has become a pattern and is bothering me now. I am south-American working in the UK.

My company has ERGs and one of them is pretty large and includes a lot of demographics. Within it, people are starting to kind of form their own subgroups (like based on office location or country-specific ethnicity). Does anyone have any thoughts around what would be appropriate for DEI practitioners to be aware of when serving these populations?

Does anyone have experience with starting a Business/Employee Resource Group? I would really like to start one for Middle Eastern and North Africans as my company does not have one. There are many discussions that could benefit others and opportunities for intersectionality here. TIA!

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

How do I transition from a Senior Executive Assistant role to Project Management? Ideally I would like to work in tech. How should I go about this? I currently work in the Real estate industry so it would be a totally new career path. The reason I want to move into tech is I feel like many of the companies I see have the same values as me (diversity & inclusion) and a good culture is so important to me.

“I must honestly confess that I go through moments of disappointment when I have to recognize that there aren’t enough white persons in our country who are willing to cherish democratic principles over privilege. But I am grateful to God that some are left.” This quote is from MLK in 1968 about how he sensed the movement was losing the battle for the soul of the nation.

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

Would love to know if anyone has any ERG/BRG resources that have worked for them!

I’ve been given a D&I project for my firm which is ideal because it has always been a passion of mine. In the process I’ve noticed that no one is actually committed to this cause. How do you make management see that it’s not just about writing a check?

Working on introducing ERGs at a company- how did your company decide the first ERGs to start with? How did they communicate the start of ERGs and roll out the structure?

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?
