Having been part of the Partner selection process, not being a white guy myself and considering the unbelievable focus and pressure on promoting more diversity to Partner levels, it is difficult for me to believe that the sole reason for this person not being promoted was his race. Could it have happened? Sure. Is it likely? I don’t believe so.

Well, there's your answer folks. If you're Asian, you're essentially "white" from the perspective of diversity initiatives, and "not white" from the perspective of the insider white people who are running the country club.

Whenever a minority suggests they experienced racial discrimination, you can always count on white people to lecture them that racism wasn’t the cause.

It’s one of the most consistent observations in any discussion of race.

More of how an open minded ally would respond, but maybe that’s the same as a “dystopian robot” to you.

I am currently part of Partner Admission committee and yes, there is so much of focus on diversity but it’s over indexed on gender diversity. I tried to remind rest of the committee members about others but the buck stops at white women and anything else doesn’t matter.

I have not experienced this at my firm. Women are a separate category and we have conversations about both them and minorities.

Business generation is going to be the bane to my existence. I’m a highly regarded mid level at my firm (in terms of work product), but my colleagues (that are, quite frankly, incompetent) seem to be getting further ahead solely due to the business they bring in, which is usually attributed to their wealthy friends/family businesses. I do networking everywhere I go, but I just can’t seem to land the commercial clients I need. Any advice?

I just landed this job in tech and some coworker already went to HR to complain about my tone at a virtual meeting. HR doesn’t seem to know what this person’s problem exactly is, but notified me without telling me which coworker complained. Everything going fine otherwise, my manager told me they’re happy with my work and I get along with most of the team. Have you been there? What would you do? I’m confused.
