“Reflecting on and adopting the use of micro-affirmations would be a positive strategy to prevent microaggressions. Micro-affirmations are small acts that foster inclusion, listening, comfort and support for people who may feel isolated or invisible in their environment. Focus on action, not avoidance – create new good behaviours.”

Exploitation of a good concept to create racist policies and initiatives. If DEI were utilized as intended the focus would be on removing boundaries like degree requirements for entry level positions. Not cherry picking based on the preferred color or sex.
Changing requirements is a tactic commonly used to suppress. It’s called “moving the goal post.” POC and women are receiving degrees in record numbers. Right now, black women are the most educated group in America. If you remove the degree requirement, it will have the adverse effect. It will open the door for less qualified and reopen the door for “the good old boy network,” which created the inequality in the first place.
All the layoffs of DE+I Officers, the rolling back of these programs, and affirmative action being struck down by the Supreme Court.
The whole “diversity hire” thing. I worked extremely hard for my position as did several of my colleagues who are considered to be “underrepresented.” It just feels so belittling when people assume that the ONLY reason I was hired was because of my skin color.
What’s your overall stance on affirmative action?
“We would hire [marginalized population] but they aren’t applying.”
I got an e-mail today complaining that the employee spotlight in our community newsletter for national coming out day is highly offensive to her and her born again Christian faith and a second email from her SVP stating that LGBT posts "alienate a large percentage of our employees and customers. Someone's sexual preference should not be emphasized in the workplace."
It's heartbreaking how much work I still have to do to remove some people's heads from their a$$es.
Thank you for the extremely hard work you do
That so much of it is still just talk or, worse, performative and not actual allyship. We're not tokens. We're not "diversity hires." We're not less-than.
Are u given opportunities to lead or shine on major projects?
The fakery of it!
The fact that the diversity hire is more of a checkbox goal/ target for managers. Afterwards the basic acceptance and adoption of diverse experience into culture and strategy is slim at best. Makes the diversity hire feel worthless and creates lack of growth for them.
And when you try to discuss, some peers refer to studies that say the the white male is the most miserable these days.
It's feels like a lost cause for both sides 😐
So true.
How many DEI programs have been boiled down to the cis white male is bad, and if he tries to explain his feelings, it is a microaggression. It's hard to be an Ally when you are attacked at every turn and you are guilty of whatever someone accuses you of. Many of the DEI leads in my organization are the least tolerant of any idea that is not their own.
First, the absolute performance of it all and when it comes down to action, nothing happens. Second, the “tax” that organizations put on the few members of the organization that are from diverse backgrounds. It’s a slap in the face. It’s not our job to carry out your weak policies with little to no funding to make you feel better about yourself!
What hurts me is not being able to feel included. Diversity isn't just about race - it's about age, disability, culture, etc. It's about making people feel included so they feel safe enough to speak up to add value to the organization.
The volume of organizations who feel that diversity is enough and don't take equity or accessibility into consideration. It doesn't matter how diverse your team is if folks don't feel safe or valued.
They like the idea of me but they don't really like who I am. Read Chuy Renterias witt g on DEI I'm his substack on #doesuiowaloveme
That statistics show that white women are benefiting and capitalizing from off it yet they are not allies to minorities ESPECIALLY to BLACK WOMEN.
Wild how people can be openly racist on a corporate app
That we have to fight for diversity and inclusion
Colorism - why do white skin coloured people are preferred over brown?
That “they” have the power to set it up and dismantle it all again. It’s the same power display just with a new face. This is what people fail to see. What is the alternative? Building within your own community. It’s slow but it’s sincere.
The fact that white people always get special treatment and consideration for their feelings and preferences. As many times as I was verbally abused by my direct reports and heard about racist comment’s with no support from
My leadership. It’s awful that the metrics go up from the culture never changes.
Oh and the comment that we need to hire “the best talent” so we shouldn’t go to HBCUs or HSIs…. That reallyyyyy boiled my blood.
Just the violence against Black and transgender people in the US. In 20220 there were a record number of homicides of transgender people and Black transgender women were disproportionately affected. Same with the Asian community too.
