Proud that RBC is officially committed to gender equality! Definitely a step in the right direction.

Diversity for its own sake doesn't work..entry level hires are cheap and easy to show more women...the real difficulty is keeping VP level women and providing support groups to keep them going through the tough years of marriage, kids etc...that's where the attrition happens

Can confirm JPM1, RBC is brutal, although I feel some groups have it easier than others.

And I can also confirm that they are serious about gender diversity. We're looking to replace someone; however, we're passing on a very solid and recommended internal candidate because we "need more diversity" eg (women or non-Asian/white). It's reverse discrimination at its finest.

Never understood the whole equality platform. People don't give a shit about equality at the end of the day, just their own interest. If the opposite were true, capitalism would've failed a long time ago.

JPM1, which office?

That's unfortunate

Only places that are bad at things feel the need to say that they are committed to them.

And then provide real opportunities to hire people with gaps in their resume

Ironically only 2/9 of the executive board is female......

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?
