A very senior manager at my site started a slack channel that specfically excluded one member of their team. He posted photos making fun of this person and tried making "jokes"
Obviously, this made the team very uncomfortable and someone reported him. He was investigated and let go. This dude had 10+ years at the company 😳 still have no idea what he was thinking
You have to wonder who raised a person like that?
"We can't cater to minorities it will make the CEO feel left out" from the head of DEI
"It will make the CEO feel left out"???? Are you kidding me? They are the CEO
Honestly, I've never seen anything directly. I hear a lot of stuff, and know some republicans but I've never seen anything. I was working with trans senior developers as far back as 2014 on high budget high Vis projects. Maybe I've been lucky.
D1 - agree with you. I'm not either. Tend to defend more trad people to my progressive friends. They turn on me for it. Programming is strong.
Many. I’ve had a developer have a Meltdown about support in a public channel. There was the time where the CPO had to read the words “please stop taking wild shits on 3” in a public forum. I can hardly count the number of times a man defer to another man on support when talking directly to a woman in support who was the man’s superior.
We were chastised for appropriate wording in public forum, but the message was received and gender neutral bathrooms were established
Very early in my career, before HIPAA was law, I was waiting for an important fax on a work topic. I saw the incoming pages and took all back to my desk.
However, there were 2 faces, back to back, mine and another one.
The other fax was to a person in senior management, from their health insurance company. (Peons like me didn't get any insurance options.). The fax explained that this individual's genital herpes (and his wife's) was excluded from coverage for X time, as a pre-existing condition.
I was so embarrassed and panicked! I thought about throwing it away. There were no physical mailboxes or interoffice mail system, as it was a small startup.
I decided to put the fax next to the fax machine, but I folded it shut and stapled it. I never told anyone at work about this.

What a wild ride that mist have been 💀💀
I saw a manager let go for hitting on all of the ladies that came into the office. He was like 60 at the time and "back in his day" blah, blah, blah... He tried to create a dress code that made all the females wear skirts above the knee, then got made when we didn't do it. It was dark times...
Not sure how jaw-dropping this is but I was doing dei readiness assessments and I had a female executive tell me she had no connection to the dei work we I was suggesting. But she would participate because some of her staff African American staff needed her to be.
Readiness assessment: Start at the beginning.

It's pretty wild how as we (underrepresented workers) progress in our own careers, we have the tendency to forget the adversity we faced to get there...
I don't know about "draw dropping" statements, but maybe inappropriate statement about someone's background like making assumptions based on stereotypes

I had someone who had said harassing things to me (and who I told to stop multiple times) pull out a nude image of a celebrity and show me in the middle of our office. When I asked him what the f*** he thought he was doing, he started to laugh and said I couldn’t “take a joke.”

Thank you. I reported it, and after an investigation he was fired (and the people I’d reported his previous behavior but did nothing about it got a talking to, I was told). Then a few years later my job mysteriously disappeared. I’m in a great place now, but at the time the entire experience was devastating.

Senior manager said the phrase “porch m—“ on a call about Black Lives Matter

Hoooollyyy 💩.
In what reality is this even remotely appropriate? I hope this ended quickly for that manager..
My firm actively champions DEI values in their recruitment campaigns (we hire a lot of young people) but forbids the celebration of Pride month, nor do they acknowledge the existence of LGBT persons at work. We were forced to shut down Pride month events in June, while simultaneously promoting a firm wide campaign on the diversity and inclusion commitment we make to our people. We celebrate you! Unless you're a freaky gay. The sheer hypocrisy.
