I think about this all the time. I cringe when I hear people say “the diversity hire”. If you think hiring one blonde white woman is “diversity” in your organization, you can have it.

Kinda like my last agency in SF- pretending to care about hiring Black and brown people. For EXACTLY one year. Only while they had a talent team who was truly dedicated to inclusive hiring and organizational structural change. And then-

When they got rid of the talent leadership, they completely stopped their “diversity” efforts, fired several older 45+ y/o employees, the female design director quit (replace by a white man! Surprise.) fired a group director who was gay and brown, and then almost every Black or brown person left, and they’ve been hiring white men with beards steadily ever since. Oh and don’t forget that they elevated and promoted almost the entire creative team of white men, and then promoted another white man to ECD! Oh and don’t forget that they also pretended to care about supporting diversity initiatives like Here Are All The Black People, maip, and Adcolor. But since 2020 have had zero participation in any of that.

They’re as see through as those glass bottom boats fat white people enjoy on vacation in the Caribbean while clutching their purses when they go ashore to get their sad appropriation cornrows.

This is disappointing. Imagine the struggles of being a non white/ female / visa sponsorship needed- in this industry.

Mirrors ensconced socio economic power structures.

To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it? You'd think websites like glassdoor, linkedin, and this one would all be in an incredibly powerful position from the point of view of union organizing and the way they design the site could work for us or against us. So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
