Let's talk about clients who whitewash casting. Every. Fucking. Time. I've started putting together a list of words used by clients to choose whiter cast members. The most recent was our PoC lead was 'too striking'. 🙄 Give me a fucking break. Admit your racism, you fucks.

It’s my mission to sneak in interracial couples or vaguely lgbtq+ couples into everything.

Not to mention all the white washing behind the camera in the agency world.

Ha. I remember my first job when we were casting for arabic guy in a commercial and the clients said one was “too aggressive looking.” my mouth went agape.

As a super privileged white dude, even I recognize how disgusting it is. And it’s not even just the white washing. Whenever we suggested an all black (or Indian or Asian) cast the clients suggestion would be to make the cast interracial, so “more people could relate”. Never once came up with an all white cast. Also, I might punch the next client that says “but are they too black”?

I’ve had a major retail client said we were “going out of our way” to be diverse upon our first round of casting options. The person who said this was, of course, a white male. 😞

What has your experience been with new job offers and counter offers from current employers? In my opinion, if I’m looking to leave it is because I’m unhappy and excited about the new role I’ve been offered. I’ve never been interested in a counter offer and it seems like it would ruin relationships with both employers. Interested to hear others opinions!

Need suggestions: So I joined this bank and I was loaned to a different director in my team due to some long term leave for one of his SMs and audit with my director was deferred. The idea was that I would be involved in Fieldwork and take over reporting part. Issue is that I just despise the way this other Director is working. He would assign a task, and then start following up the very next day. And then after I send the document, he won’t even read that for a day!! Contd in comments
