How many times have you seen false promises from leadership about how they will focus on my diverse hiring or do something to address issues with inclusion? I am tired of hearing big words and then when I try to implement something we "put a pin in that".

Too many times. I’ve seen agencies hire a ratio of 20 white people to 1 bipoc, even after promising more diverse hiring.

Don't work at my University then. The administration here does absolutely nothing but keep up appearances with Title VII, Title IX, etc. We have gone through numerous EO directors, and everyone knows the legal department does nothing but cover the University's a** in discrimination and sexual harassment cases. One of our first EO directors actually sued the University at one point for hindering her ability to enforce Title IX policies in a sexual assault case. This place is so corrupt it's ridiculous.

Wow. Thank you for sharing.

My org talks a lot about diversity during Q1 every year, after our annual diversity training happens--lots of, "I value your unique perspective, so-and-so," in emails--and then, when management feel like they've performed inclusion enough, things go right back to the way they always were. It's frustrating.

Hundreds of times. At nearly every agency I’ve ever seen or worked at. WPP and IPG have lengthy online courses you have to go through that are situational. Once you “pass” this, you’re done and no more is said about diversity.

I have. They even hired white interns and although I am several levels above them, they don’t have to answer to me. They love that and I am humiliated by it. I am treated like I too am entry level despite my title, education and experience. If I resist this, I am met with hostility.
