As a result of #metoo, it was revealed that now a lot of male supervisors and councillors are refusing to train/guide their female juniors. Most of them don't want the hassle of being accused of sexual harassment.
What are your thoughts on this?

EY, I got my Roth IRA contributions set to max (30%). Does Fidelity automatically lower the % and stop contributions afterwards once I reach my 2022 limit?
Also at Deloitte, I had a couple thousand contributed in the beginning of the year. Does EY's 401k keep track of that as well towards the limit?

Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Omg thank you for sharing this. This touched my heart.
On June 1st, Dallas had a 7pm curfew. He says that he arrived 4 hours AFTER the curfew began. The crowd had 4 hours to comply with a lawful order. Yet somehow he wonders why he got arrested?
And also, if you’ll actually read my letter you’ll know I didn’t “wonder why I got arrested”. I know exactly why I got arrested. There was something God needed me to hear. I pray that you learn to listen (in this case read) more than you talk. I wish great things for you my friend!
On Monday, June 1 I spent what has become the most valuable 24 hours of my life in a Tarrant County, Texas jail cell. I can assure you I’m not an extremist imported from out of town to purposely cause unrest and destroy property. I’m a Partner in one of the largest business professional services firms in the world. I’m a member at Fort Worth’s Colonial Country Club, a volunteer at the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, and a season ticket holder to every major TCU sport. I was educated by the FWISD, Tarrant County College, The University of Texas at Arlington and Texas Christian University. I am my City and it is me.
I didn’t walk down to the protests on West 7th Street Sunday night for any other reason than to watch and listen. This movement is important to me. This movement is important to my firm who lost a brilliant and beautiful young African American man to a completely senseless officer involved shooting inside his own home. It’s important to my kids who, by the Grace of God, have been raised with young men and women of all races, religions and cultures. I went to watch and listen because I thought it was the only meaningful way I could contribute.
When I arrived around 11p Sunday night, I stood on the sidewalk looking at rows of police officers locked arm and arm in tactical gear and gas masks. On the other side, a group of young men and women, a few chanting but mostly just standing around taking it in much like me. Then the officers began what started as a slow march toward the crowd. From my perch on the sidewalk I didn’t feel concerned. I was just there watching after all. But then the officers started firing gas into the crowd, which for me meant “time to go home.” As I turned and started my walk back home, away from the officers, they started what felt like a dead sprint into the crowd. To my dismay, I was one of the first people they grabbed. “You crossed the line” the officer shouted as he pinned my arms behind my back and zip tied them. Maybe I did, but if so it was only because “the line” was running at me faster than I could get away from it.
Once I got to the jail, it became clear why I was there. God put me there because I needed a little more focused time to listen. And so I did for 23 hours. I listened to young men who, much like me, weren’t participating in the protests. They were trying to make sense of the fact that a person can be arrested for doing nothing more than standing in the street. I saw the tears and fear in the face of a young Hispanic nurse who’d been arrested after handing out masks to the protestors. She gave me mine. I heard the frustration in the voices of the few African American men and realized no matter how much I listen I’ll never, ever understand it. I listened to the Hispanic and African American men who had cycled through the system multiple times, often for making the same types of bad decisions I’ve repeatedly made in my life, and for the first time questioned if I’d be where I was if I was a man of color. I choked back tears when one young African American man turned to each of us in the cell and said, “a lot of you that got arrested with me today aren’t even black. Thank you”.
And then that was it. After 23 hours, they just let us go. No charges. No nothing. A short walk home and back to work the next day. Back to my privilege as a white man. But one thing did change. My eyes and ears are as open as they’ve ever been. I’ll never miss an opportunity to listen with an empathetic ear. And I’ll never sit on the sidelines of the protest again. I listened and now I’m ready to speak up. Because I can’t breathe.

Wow. 👏
Is this copypasta?
It got shared on FB from someone I know and is a mutual friend. The person who's written the note is indeed a PwC Partner in D/FW.
What is that? Can you provide some context in where that is poster and who “Jon” is
Amazing post, very well written
