I'm in the early stages of research for my master's thesis, tentatively titled "A Look at Colonial Norms and the Socio-Professional Experience of Visible Minorities Working in Public Relations". I'm interested in the experience of BIPOC and/or religiously diverse people working in the field of PR. If this post resonates with you, feel free to comment or answer this question : Have you ever encountered obstacles related to your racial or religious identity in the field of public relations?

In my brief PR space I’ve had challenges with getting the decision makers at the organization where I worked to take my advice when it came to PR from a POV that included being a POC. I’ve seen a lot of bad statements go out over the years sadly.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
