I don’t give a damn about your baby’s gender, but on the other hand I like free booze

These parties usually don't have booze

No one except the grandparents gives a flying eff what gender your kid is. Literally no one.
People play along because they have to, but really, have the kid, send a birth announcement and we will spend exactly 3 seconds thinking about it and be done with that forever.
That is, these parties are ego strokes for the parents who mistakenly think this kid is the end all be all.

Seems self-indulgent. Your baby’s sex is important enough to warrant an entire party with friends, family, and gifts? I get having a baby shower, but to me these just seem like a money grab.

People who do these idiotic celebrations are the ones who have nothing else that great going on that they have to plan an elaborate celebration to reveal if they’re having a boy or girl.

Not for me, but I get how they can be enjoyable for some. As long as it’s done safely, obviously- not just the wildfires but also I think someone died a bit ago from a pipe bomb that was used at one? Tragic.

Gender is a construct made by advertising people. The color pink was a color boys would wear before the 19th century, boys would also wear dresses because they were easier to put on, also kings wore leggings and heels... now all the sudden you it’s only blue for boys or pink for girls and specific toys for each. Also you have to burn down a state to make sure everyone knows what to expect of the baby before it even can talk. Just celebrate having a child and giving it your unconditional love no matter what path in life they chose for themselves.

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

Hey! I am currently working as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion consultant but looking to transition into DEI Program Management (or similar) for an organization. I’ve started getting some follow ups for jobs but unsure of a firm salary range. One organization said they were offering 92k which I thought was pretty low. Another organization was transparent and said they were looking at 135k. What’s the going rate? Sidenote, I have 10 years of HR experience, 3 DEI certifications.

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

I read a quote in a posting here: "The only race is the human race." I hate that quote. IMHO, this quote ignores the importance of understanding difference, diversity, and anti-racism. How can we give up white priv if all we are willing to do is pretend that race doesn't exist?

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed. I’m noticing many SPED team members go straight to the principal if they have an issue with a Gen Ed teacher instead of going to the teacher directly. Is this the norm now? What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
