I don’t understand this concept of inclusion. Male counterparts are favoured for some xyz reason. Ladies in consulting, do you see this happening around you?

Despite being one of the most senior people in the room, I was still asked by (Boomer) partner to take meeting notes, because...you know... I was the only one with XX chromosome structure there.
I do have to say that since exiting consulting and re-entering industry, I see a lot less of this nonsense.

I see it happening every single day. And it’s exhausting. To the point that I’m considering getting out of the workforce.

Just last week the guys of my team got together to party. I wasn’t invited and only the partner called to ask why I couldn’t make it. So guys my level got precious leadership time and I didn’t and it bothered just one person.

Just putting it out there… if you want a guys night out, go hang with your friends.

In a work environment, that’s not appropriate. In the same way that a girls night out wouldn’t be appropriate, or a white-only night out, or an Indian-only night out.

Yeah it’s rough out here. It’s definitely not just in consulting though. I’ve worked in a few different sectors and am always dealing with the same issues (sexual harassment, having to negotiate harder for equal pay, etc). The patriarchy is everywhere :’)

The solution is be better. Either get to the top of your current company or start your own and fly. I see so much potential for a company that doesnt put stumbling blocks in front of half their employees.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

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.

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.

Do you feel like hiring with diversity in mind is sometimes necessary at the cost of merit-based hiring? How might one go about it in a way that's respectful and moving toward greater diversity when you happen to have a pool of candidates for a particular role in which it would be a choice you have to make?

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
