I learned this week that the 80+ anti-queer bills that passed around the country led all sorts of people who identify as queer in some way shape or form to migrate to other states. Fat-fobia is still rampant in and out of the workplace. The creation of drugs like wegovy will probably affect the body positive movement. Whether it will effect it for better or worse remains to be seen. But many people agree that most employers will likely move towards covering these types of drugs. However, it may create a culture of "there's a drug for that...so why don't you just take it?" Gen Z has entered the work force as well, so that's a thing.

Or the fact that 11% of hiring managers consider weight in their decision?

Facebook is going to keep a more watchful eye on DEI spending.

Another trend that I am seeing is trigger warnings surrounding discussions of DEI. Things like "some people might find this topic triggering. It may trigger feelings of homophobia/fatphobia/xenophobia/so on and so forth. If you cannot be respectful and take this seriously then please do not engage in this conversation."

Feeling very frustrated right now…company talks a big game about DEI internally, while requiring new hires to move to Texas/Arizona, while the company’s PAC donates to politicians pushing extremist, regressive, anti-woman and anti-LGBT laws

They want to encourage us to “bring our whole self to work” while putting us in situations where we can’t be our whole self.

Anyone else in a similar place, feeling discouraged? Any tips?

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

My company has ERGs and one of them is pretty large and includes a lot of demographics.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Stereotyping?
Racism?

The first time I ignored that, but now it has become a pattern and is bothering me now. I am south-American working in the UK.

I find myself in workshops and meetings, groups of 15-20 people, and I’m always the only woman. In my entire department, there are no other women. I’m getting to the point where I’m feeling defeated and burnt out. I’ve been working in male-dominated environments my entire career (over 10 years) and I’m losing motivation.

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work.
