thoughts on this inclusion thing? As a minority it seems to be a publicity stunt... for the pictures and social media posts... Just confused about why we are still talking about what needs to get done

I'm trying to get my male director to see the importance of diversity on a team, however I'm flopping. And now I hear that 2 out of 4 of us women on my team are thinking of leaving mostly because of his ignorant attitude towards diversity and inclusion efforts (more notably, though, sexist prejudice). Is this something you can teach someone, or will I just continue to see the team bring on more and more white male colleagues until I'm snuffed out myself?

What's more of an issue in Silicon Valley - Gender Discrimination or Age Discrimination?

Anyone here ever witness someone make a full career transition into being a DEI consultant, strategist, Manager or Chief Diversity Officer? If not witnessed anyone, maybe done it yourself?

Any Favorite D&I buzzwords and phrases? Mine is diversity of thought.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

This could work in a great way of stress burster. I mean if we can connect to Likeminded from corporate sector, it's a mother level of great feeling. And if that is of an opposite gender that's something else ☺☺

Does BCW not allow conservatives to be employed at this company? I’m sitting through another meeting where we are highlighting amazing women and it is so politicized I am completely offended. AOC, Biden, Ilhan, Hilary... I mean at try to be inclusive when speaking of diversity. You can’t name a single female in the Conservative party throughout history?

So I'm a single dad, which I feel can be tough sometimes - doesn't fit with gender norms. It's the professional equivalent of not having baby changing stations in the mens room.

I have been experiencing a lot of subtle bullying and gaslighting from my company. Its the oddest thing because I know its gaslighting but I almost try to explain it away in a sense like maybe thats not it and etc. My company lacks diversity so I ma not sure if that’s why but its been odd and getting worst every day. I have started looking for other positions that are remote but haven’t found anything that is the right fit. Any advice would be great. I am the only BW on my team out of almost 40

I’m an introvert in consulting. I get along well with my teams but have found that when projects get busy my social battery plummets and I have zero motivation to network and meet new people. I’ve received feedback that Im doing great work I just need to ‘talk myself up more’ and promote myself. I love the diversity of consulting but I know you can only go so far before your role basically just turns into sales.
Are there any introverts that have gone the distance in consulting? Any advice?

What’s happening with the social team at ogilvy? Heard there’s been people quitting left and right...

My MSFT calls are aladeen!

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

Anyone forget what it was like to go through TSA after 5 months of no flights? Even in pre-check last week, I was like “wait, what do I do with my shoes and laptop?”

Is it common for a property to accept highest and best let’s say by Sunday at 5pm and then take the house off the market on Zillow/realtor to go through the offers? I’m not sure if I’m still being considered for the offer or if the house being off market indicates the seller just changed their mind about selling or that they accepted a cash offer

Which company pays better salary - EY GDS or EY India? Also, can someone give Pros and Cons of both?

Just wondering. I make a decent middle class salary but do list my occupation as lawyer on OLD. I'm worried that someone I'm dating wants me more for my income potential than my personality. Any ways to tactfully address this? I'm not cheap but will probably not make near 6 figures for a while. I'm male dating female btw. Just wondering if people have experience with this

The word "Latinx"

Discuss.

Latino now working on PwC NYM... Is there anyone else from South American countries in this office ? I mean like secondments or transfers. Not mandarory to be a South American either... Just curious.

How many of my fellow Latinos are CPAs? I have 3 more but want to represent us and get it done 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Hola! Ya se terminó el busy season. Como les fue?

Wow so dead! I guess we really are the minority 😕

So happy to see the Latinos finally represent!

Anyone out there?

Out of curiosity...is ALPFA 🇪🇸 friendly? I know back in the day, but curious how it was now. I want to encourage everyone to get into accounting. Thanks!

I have never pulled the "racism" card ever in my career but do any of you feel like you constantly have to be better/more intelligent/and work harder than any of your white counterparts just to be acknowledged? After 15 years of a successful career in public acctg, I still feel like I am constantly getting the "book" thrown at me by superiors and clients as well. Its getting old....

For the ones who speak Spanish or a second language: do you guys feel it has been an advantage to be put in interesting projects? Translating, communicating with client, etc?

We still can’t score 50+ after an invite? Dang...

Anyone else here from a shithole country? I’m proudly Dominican 🇩🇴 😁

When is the ALPFA convention? Did it already happen? Sorry I'm new here.

How is this bowl not lit?

Hii, anyone going to the ALPFA? Convention this year? Or went to it last year? Tips?

Would it be frowned upon or make anyone feel comfortable if I as a Black male join ALPFA? I want to get true genuine opinions as I don't want to offend anyone/culture

How’s attending the ALPFA conference in Vegas?
