I’m new to my job and the only person in HR. I feel that our company - 100 emps - should do something to recognize Pride Month but I get the sense from the VP that it’s not a high priority (and he might even not support LGBTQ). I want to support our team members - I know of only one for sure - and those in their lives who may be part of the LGBTQ community. Any ideas or thoughts?

So much to unpack here. There are 100 people at the company. Do a survey on how many people support DEI initiatives and collect ideas on how they want to see show up in the workplace. If it's just 2 people, as disappointing it may be to you, let it go. If it's a majority of employees, now you have something to take to the CEO along with several ideas of what you want to do. Try to align them with the company's mission, goals, or values. If it's something you really believe in despite the lack of support from a majority of employees, look for a different company.

I’ll give you my two cents from my experience. The more inclusive you become, the more people with feel left out and you’ll end up in a weird situation as an HR. Try to balance it out, if the employee isnt making a big deal about it, its fine, you can wish them yourself.

I would let the employees that want it...push it. Have an engagement team of employees that meet maybe once a month and see what initiatives they want. I hate creating things that no one asked for so no one will participate as they had no hand in building it. Save yourself the headache.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

I've been working out since early 2020 6x/ week and lost ~30lbs. However, I didn't adjust my eating -only switched to an intermittent fasting schedule (eat between 12-8pm). Now, I'm trying to focus on better eating. I struggle with sweets - If it's around me, I need it all lol and Uber eats is a weakness bc of all the dessert places! My meals are relatively balanced so not a major issue...

I've heard of intuitive eating but sounds a bit fluffy (lol) - other tips? What has worked for you? Help!!
