The ad industry is legendarily homogenous. Won’t unionizing simply close ranks & protect existing white professionals, who then protect other professionals just like them, resulting in LESS diversity?

How racially diverse is your agency? Has racial diversity and inclusion improved or worsened since the pandemic started?

I’m seriously starting to feel like “corporate diversity” means let’s hire more white women

My parents just got chosen in the diversity lottery. I’m kind of shocked, as they’ve been applying for this for years! I have so many questions but the main one is - do they need lawyers to help them along with the immigration process or is the a DIY a thing? Any firm recommendations?

Serious question: Directors, would you rather hire a gender studies major or a theatre major and why. Assuming each had comparable intelligence level, technical skills, and were otherwise equal in resume. This is not meant to be a dig at either major I am genuinely curious to know.

Has anyone ever done one of those gender blood tests you can take starting at 8 weeks. I’m really tempted to do it.

I'm coming back to work after a leave and I have zero motivation to deal again with the nonsense of being discriminated and watching how minority has zero support to climb up the ladder or getting promoted and if you call them out, they pretend that it's not them it's you. I'm currently searching for other opportunities. I'm looking to relocate internationally, outside of the US, if you have any suggestions of companies who are diversity friendly please contact me. Thanks in advance

I went to an Ivy for undergrad but also got into all the UCs. My main reason for choosing Ivy was for relatively more diversity since they use affirmative action compared to UCs at the time which was not (and therefore had many many more Asians). As I reflect on my four years there I still see the value in Affirmative Action because by being so much closer with people who were different than me, I learned so much more about the world.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

CDs don’t kill good ideas based on the race or gender of the person presenting them. Nobody has time for that shit when deadlines are looming.

How are diversity and/or gender gaps at the higher levels across consulting firms? Probably because I'm in a tech group, but it's been mostly male-dominant and the same last few years since I joined
