It’s such a turnoff for me when my husband has an attitude and sulks all day. Always gives me teenage girl vibes but I try to remind myself that being sensitive isn’t gender specific and it’s okay for him to pout if he’s upset about something. Just wish I didn’t get the ick when he does

Quick question:

Can a New York registered attorney (solo practitioner) file a diversity jurisdiction lawsuit in a federal court of another state other than NY, (while residing outside the US, and not running an office in NY)? Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

What do you wish you knew before starting your career in Diversity & Inclusion?

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

Have competing offers from EY and KPMG UK Economic advisory teams( Manager/Snr Exec level). KPMG's UK technical rep and comp offer is better, but the hours appear longer. EY UK Director has had several calls selling culture (diversity and work life balance). Is there actually a substantive emphasis on this by EY? Or are 50+ hour weeks quite common?

I suspect it's going to be quite team dependent/ project dependent, and therefore a gamble in any case.

Thanks for any perspectives.

Welcome to this new bowl. Fishbowl is an intriguing and promising app, but it was missing a hub for D&A professionals. Please share with your contacts. The more diversity we have in this group, the better.

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Any advice from fellow women in this industry? How did you overcome gender biases?

Just joined the inclusion council in my office. Any good ideas for a fun office event??

We are starting to really address diversify and inclusion and build partnerships with community resources.

What do you feel is important in building out DEI program?

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I've often heard "diversity of thought" (i.e. conservatives) as being callously injected into the diversity convo. Typically this coming from white men. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

Side gigs. What do you do to supplement your income (besides marry for money)? I bartender but that’s taken a hit with Covid. Thinking about some kind of tutoring set up.

 I heard a commercial on the radio for Verizon that said something to the effect that parents are now learning how to lesson plan. Are any of you off the hook for lesson planning? Just wondering because I’m over here busting my butt!

Anyone think Salesforce will have layoffs in the near future?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Anybody else also having the layoffs anxiety already ? Any update/rumours about GL ?

Recent immigrant and about to buy a car - insurance company said it would take 2 weeks to process my application. Is this normal? In the US I insured my car with one 10min phone call, so was a bit surprised

This is a confession and a recommendation. I'm a guy and I shave under my arms. I got tired of pit stains from deodorant messing up nice t-shirts, polos, undershirts, etc. A men's mag said I should use trimmers to keep it more tidy. After a few years of that, I just decided to use my Panasonic wet/dry shaver. I love it and can't believe I didn't do this sooner.

I think most people come on here because they’re lonely. Thoughts?

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

Over here doing my taxes on company's time 🥲

I just started at a big law firm last week. I know I’m capable but I keep messing up on simple tasks. I moved across the country for this job and at this point it feels like I’m self-sabotaging my position.

Does anyone remember in grade school when one of the assignments was during the time scientists announced Pluto was not a planet and some teachers had us write essays and whether Pluto should or shouldn’t be a planet using so scientific based arguments? I panicked daily about the state of our education system in America.
