we just had a day full of workshops about inclusion, so maybe my job is safe for a few months.

I hope so OP. But given the way big agencies operate, these workshops are offered more for the sake of checking boxes than anything else. Meaning that in the event of a discrimination lawsuit against the company, they can say, “we don’t discriminate. We even paid for employee workshops. See?”

90% of these things are merely conducted so the company can mitigate risk. I’m not trying to scare you, but you should have your site and resume buttoned up just in case.

Lol wut?

At MRM, in the latest round of layoffs, every person they let go was protected class. Either a woman, POC, over 40, LGBTQ or a combination. We won an IPG diversity award a few weeks later. So I wouldn’t count on it. When it comes to layoffs, minorities and those over 40 are still going to be the most vulnerable no matter how many workshops they hold.

It's the exact opposite. The whole reason they had that workshop is so that when someone sues them, they can say LOOK LOOK WE JUST HAD A WORSKHOP THATS HOW DEDICATED WE ARE! In fact don't be at all surprised, if the whole reason they had this workshop is because they're gearing to lay people off, likely not long after the new year...

They included you in the meeting. The optics would have been bad if they didn’t. You’re not any safer.

Yeah, not so much.

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen

Advise on handling rates negotiations with BIPOC and non-male creators? I always want to accept first bid and get uncomfortable when my bosses push to undercut rates (especially now when money is tight), because there is a whole history of BIPOC and non-male people getting paid less. I’ve tried to push back but struggle to articulate this to them. (For the record, I’m POC female and my bosses are white males, and race/gender convos are already very difficult with them.)

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.
