Taking a poll: reasonable or unreasonable of me to be frustrated that my company scheduled me for a mandatory 2pm-5pm company culture training session on erev Yom Kippur? Is this something I can call them out on, or is it fair game because it’s not on Yom Kippur itself?

Definitely reasonable. The holiday starts in the evening and 5pm is cutting it close, especially for someone needing to eat a last meal before the fast and make it to services. Do you feel comfortable saying something- asking to do the training another time?

Especially because it's a cultural training.

This is reasonable. They scheduled a group DEI training ON Yom kippur. I asked 2 months ago if they would reschedule and they did not

🤦🏻‍♀️ kind of a dead giveaway that the training itself is BS.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives.

At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.
