If you are interested to talk with some opposite gender person outside of your team in ZS, how would you approach them/initiate the conversation? What tricks do you use

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

I have a bit of a dilemma and need some advice. My manager pushes really hard to recruit and hire only minority candidates. While I'm all for diversity, it feels unethical to exclude other qualified candidates just because they are a particular race and gender (white males). I've had to pass over a few candidates that were WAY more qualified and in my opinion would have made a much better fit. I don't know if there's anything I can or should do.

What assurances are there that the older industry workers now raising the ageism banner will ever address ethnic diversity, when so many ignored diversity for years until it affected them personally?

How do we encourage our agencies to hire based on potential, not experience? Everyone wants diversity but everyone wants cookie cutter award-winning creatives too, which often don't necessarily match

It's really pathetic to see guys getting desperate on this bowl and due to such guys all of us get labelled creeps. I can understand you guys are not getting any due to the skewed gender ratio but please maintain some dignity. I am sure if the gender ratio was skewed in reverse then women won't be behaving in such a desperate manner and would rather stay single. My request to all guys is please have some self respect because this desperation won't lead you anywhere

Good? Bad? Ugly? How was your experience with a manager or supervisor of the opposite gender, that you would like to share?

Does BCW not allow conservatives to be employed at this company? I’m sitting through another meeting where we are highlighting amazing women and it is so politicized I am completely offended. AOC, Biden, Ilhan, Hilary... I mean at try to be inclusive when speaking of diversity. You can’t name a single female in the Conservative party throughout history?

Just got an offer at Deloitte. Feel like comp/rank are too low due to lack of diversity of interviewers. :( Can anyone relate?

My husband quit his job to stay home with our son when he was born a year ago. I took a new job and we moved. It's been a lot of change and really tough. Any advice for reverse gender role couples?

How do you respond to comments like “we just hire the best person of the job, regardless of race or gender”?

Anyone used Sneak Peek to find out gender early?

Next question (based on a great conversation in 1 of the threads): how do gender roles and expectations play into your decisions about work and family?

Hello fishes, Do you have suggestions on Diversity & Inclusion activities that can be done virtually with a group? I found few ideas in google but would love to hear about any experiences and suggestions.

As a Black person, I feel like I all of a sudden have a lot of interest in my views from BofA, but it's usually on Diversity issues. How have you fought this pigeon-holing throughout your career?

How would you make the business case for adding more diversity to the workforce. I think we take it as a given that people will support this, but some people need to see $$ and #s to be moved.

Thanks for doing this Paul! I'm pretty interested in data on this. Do some states have teachers w/ more student loans than others? Is there a gender gap?

Curious what the spread of rank is on this app - vote below.

Did anyone get an update on their H1B registration from BAL? I got an email on March 11 saying that my account was opened on cobalt but nothing else since then!

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks. He wants me to wrap up some BIA briefs before I leave however I’m reviewing the record for a lot these and I’m seeing that a lot of the arguments for Asylum, Withhold, and CAT are incomplete. How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

Anybody know how long winter internships run for at Big4?

My firm was recently acquired and compensation is unchanged. For context, I’m at the engagement manager level with the organization that was acquired, and with the NewCo, the coverage and responsibility is likely increasing. In this future state I’d effectively be managing more engagements. Can anyone offer Do’s/Don’ts for approaching and navigating comp renegotiations? (Note: The individual I report up to hasn’t changed)

Rising 5th year. The partner I closely work with gave me a positive evaluation and wants to chat soon about my future. I’m planning to apply for in-house positions after the New Year. Ideally, I’d like to be open with the partner about this and leverage their connections with clients. But I worry about admitting I don’t want to stay and try to make partner. They basically control all my work. How do I hedge in this chat that I’m leaning in-house over staying long term at the firm?

Bermuda or the Bahamas if you have to choose one in terms of places to visit, spg/Marriott hotels, expensiveness, etc? Flying from NYC

I have been offered a lateral move within my company to a role I (believe) I will be more interested in that will suit my skills more. However, I’ve now been offered a promotion in my existing Role, and have heard that this is a pretty big deal and almost fast track to Director. Am I mad to pass up a promotion for a lateral move that is unlikely to promote me for some time?? I’ve been in my existing role almost 2yr. Will it affect my future growth? I’m 30 so would love to be a director soon
