My AKA boss is very anti for the only BLK candidate we have for this position. Candidate interned w/me 2 yrs ago and has grown immensely since.

My boss's issue is "her clothes were raggedy"

Help!

that’s a true observation. part of D&I working is developing conditions where uniqueness is celebrated, respected and encouraged. you can’t bring in various unique individuals only to demand conformity.

that’s a pretty straight forward instance of discriminatory behavior that needs to be reported to HR. It’s dangerous ignorance that holds back the organization.

How do you not care / stress way too much about your job? I am a mom and stressed out most workday evenings thinking about the work / interactions during the day. I have heard TEd talks about compartmentalizing job vs personal life , mindfulness etc , but I don’t change. I could literally leave my job & focus on kids alone & be fine as husband is in a executive position. Yet, it’s my own career focus & my self induced stress and pressure that takes a toll on me. What’s your advice for me?
