Maybe, just maybe, those white people were the best candidates? Crazy thought, I know...

@CD1 this is obnoxious in an industry where 95% of offices are white and leadership is more male the higher up you go. It’s ridiculous to assert that white candidates are always the best ones for the job when agencies won’t even give POC and women the chance to A)get their foot in the door and B) prove themselves or get promoted. Best person for the job is how white guys like you make themselves feel better for not being diverse and pretending you’re a meritocracy.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Hey Fishes,
I want to know if any of you are facing a work induced Burnout? If yes, what is the most difficult challenge that you face in your consulting life that makes you stressed?

Four years out of rehab today. Mostly sober since I “graduated”. Sometimes I want to act out and be caught, so I can be punished…because I don’t believe I was punished enough or suffered enough (divorce, losing a house, suicidal thoughts aren’t punishment enough apparently). In a meeting tonight a couple shares brought me right back to when I hit rock bottom, to the pain that I inflicted on others and myself. I need to remind myself every day that I am worthy of love and recovery.
