My fellow black Green Dots (Deloitte), have you read the email from Janet?
I am glad to be working at a company that openly acknowledges what the black community has been going through with COVID. Coming from a previous company that was borderline and at times blatantly racist, it was such a warm feeling to see such a message from our CEO. While at many companies there is room for improvement with inclusion policies, I do think that Deloitte is doing a much better job than most. Thoughts?

Her email was initially sent to black partners and MDs. My initial thought was “she emailed all three of them?”

We rarely see you all. 🙁 “We” need to see more of “us” in these type of roles.

I was shocked and appreciative to see an email come from her that was directed toward the “us” specifically.

Should she have addressed to the entire firm?

Doubt it and that’s part of the issue. The other part is definitely the topic of segregation if targeted emails were sent to both communities.
I literally keep going back and forth on this mentally as I mull it over.

Glad to hear Deloitte is addressing black-related issues. I'm curious to hear how the email was only (or mainly) sent to black employees. Was the email specifically sent to the distro list for the black affinity group, or did they use an internal communication tool that allowed them to filter by race? If it was the latter, I never even knew this was possible.

HR collects demography data and race/sex is probably key as Deloitte is big on diversity and inclusion. This is used to report probably within Deloitte (HR and such) and definitely to government.
It’s a simple program/script to generate an email to all based on a particular criteria, so I’m not super surprised on HOW just surprised that they DID.

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the bowl and would like to see if anyone is available to critic my resume. I have 6 years of work experience; 2 years are in Business Development and 4 years in Customer Service.

I am currently unemployed due to Covid-19 and been trying to get a job in Singapore. I want to refocus on my career in Business Development/Marketing and develop from there on.

Appreciate the help.

Still looking for work 2 1/2 years later. I was laid off when Covid hit as a Director of food and beverage in West Hollywood /Beverly Hills, relocated to Omaha Nebraska with the same organization to open a property. Laid off after the opening. I’ve been doing Task Force work since. Looking at vice president or Director roles hotels/restaurant companies! I have applied everywhere, nothing but ghosting treated disrespectfully, offered horrible salaries or told positions on hold. Need a Job

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.
