Sorry if this is a bad question but I’ve tried to google and found conflicts. I’ve seen a lot on social media to not use the term “person of color” when referring to a black person. I’ve also seen companies touting diversity on Instagram like “30% black, 55% person of color...etc.”. I’m wondering, what ethnicity/ races are they referring to when they say “people of color”? I’m guessing black +others? Is it everything non white (Latino, Asian, middle eastern etc)? Is it only some Asians?

I left a 6 month fixed contract job. I decided not to extend my contract so didn’t sign the renewal contract. However, recently the HR has emailed me that I didn’t give the company 1 month notice and thus, they have the right to decline providing any future employee reference. I don’t think I broke any rules since I didn’t sign the renewal contract (sent only a week before termination date) and worked till my termination date. Is this legal for them to decline future reference due to this?

Hi all. I am joining an AmLaw100 firm in June. I’m coming from a non traditional route to a firm (Banking regulatory compliance). Billable/collection hours are 1900. I have a kid on the way due late September. Would like to make sure my wife and kid are stable. I plan to tell the firm on Tuesday. Not sure of any formal parental policy. Any thoughts about how to best communicate it? Should I be worried about that impacting billable requirements? How is this most commonly handled in the industry?

My dad has an issue with his car that will be upwards of $5k. I offered to help but now I am having second thoughts because he’s terrible with money, just came back from a vacation in fact, and I feel like I’ve given him lots of money to help him with his car. I’m very close with my dad and I can pay for it, but I’m trying to build up my own savings/buy a house/travel this summer/enjoy the fruits of my labor. I grew up poor and I just feel like my dad lives above his means and expects me (contd)
