While submitting a salary counter on a role I was offered, I listed valid points on why I deserved a higher sum for the responsibilities. Recruiter brought up my diversity being a key negotiator and awkwardly asked me “what are you” since the person making financial decisions will “want to know.” I am a “racially ambiguous” POC and while I answered in order to save face, this made me extremely uncomfortable. I accepted the job but can’t shake how inappropriate and dehumanizing this felt.

Thoughts on addressing emails as "Hi guys" or "Hi ladies" if you are of the same gender as those you are addressing? To me (as a woman) being addressed as "Hi ladies" seems more personal than something like "Hi Team", but I can understand if others may feel uncomfortable with it (i.e. if they don't like being called out as a man/woman, since gender is a more sensitive topic in general, etc)

I recently saw someone post here about the AIRS by ADP Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter program and it piqued my interest. Has anyone else done that certification and would give it a thumbs-up or thumbs-down?

I was molested by a girl. I told this to a couple of friends and I became a subject of mockery - "You aren't man enough", "Damn a girl came onto you? Lucky", "I don't believe you - that girl's way out of your league"

Is molestation gender specific?

PS - not related to ZS. Just an incident that happened some years ago in college, but still haunts me probably because I could never speak up. I was judged/hushed whenever I tried.

Does being a certain demographic increase your chances of being accepted into Law school?
I was looking at the statistics on certain schools on their reported demographics and noticed not many hispanic males apply. For example, NIU only had two Hispanic males apply in the last application cycle.
Is this a feature I can use to my advantage when applying? Not entirely relying on my race to carry me. Just curious on how much weight diversity holds when applying.

Poll - how many of you are in an interracial relationship/marriage? Age, gender, ethnicity? Again this is not to offend, I am just curious :). Happy to delete the post if anyone feels offended

Arg1: 50% population stand, 100% sit. So stfu and leave it down.
Arg2: Gender equality. Equal rights. Leave it as you find it or use it as you need it..

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

I'm a 4th yr. Spent first 3 yrs in ID and past 1yr in general corporate litigation. I have a little L&E experience, but not much. Would I have any shot at getting in at one of the big 4? Or should I focus on getting in at a more local/smaller L&E firm to get my feet wet. Ultimate goal is to get enough L&E experience to go in-house. TIA.

Hi All,
I am looking for a Full-time Human Resources job in Toronto, Canada. I am targetting either a entry-level role or a associate-level role. I have total of 3 years of experience - 2 years in IT recruitment and 1 year in people operations (in India). I am a recent graduate from Durham College, I have completed my post-graduation certificate in Human Resources Management. I am available and eligible to work full-time immediately. Any help would be much appreciated!

We are exploring having a third party come in and assess our I&D efforts across our company. We have many locations across North America. Is anyone aware of an entity who does this? We have found questionnaires through target organizations and have done anonymous employee surveys but are hoping to find someone who can do an assessment for gender, minorities, disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+, etc. and provide feedback on the actual employee experience and where we may have blind spots.
