Is anyone noticing a massive drop in morale and motivation around the office due to world news over the last weeks? How are you addressing this from a DEI perspective? I don't feel like an email has been sufficient.

Nothing has been addressed at my company. I am not sure they know exactly how to address this topic so they are kind of keeping in the background. It would be nice to have the company give a response as some of the staff really seem to be struggling with the events and the downfall.

Officially the only thing we've had is an email and it's not enough. They did mention that our teams there are safe and we're taking care of them (doing the same in Ukraine)

Unofficially a few people took it on themselves to set up team chats for anyone to talk if they need.

For me, I've encouraged my team that it's ok to step back if they want, that to let me know and we'll cover a y work while they focus on what's important to them. It's still not enough but I really don't know what to do

It’s very sad to do much about. The conflict is not about who’s right or wrong but on innocent lives taken. In a DEI perspective, it’s not happening in the workplace, it is outside the scope. Fear of saying the wrong thing will cause harm and silence is the best answer. But at the same time, silence is tolerance. Ultimately companies will need to look at its core values and evaluate it with their employees to come up with a solution together.

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Hello!

I am being tapped to translate documents at work. I’ve done spot translation audits, and 1 larger Quality assurance document earlier this year, but was recently contacted about a potential large-scale translation initiative for next year.

Has anyone been compensated for these sorts of projects that would be “out of scope” for their role? How do you go about asking for compensation? Have any of you spun out and created translation service side-gigs?

“I must honestly confess that I go through moments of disappointment when I have to recognize that there aren’t enough white persons in our country who are willing to cherish democratic principles over privilege.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?
