When agencies post pics of their white staff, and boasts that they’re all about diversity, I call BS. A diverse house doesn’t mean the IT person or the receptionist- unless they’re also creatives!:)

Would it be wild if I added my preferred gender pronouns to my signature? (He/his)

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

Hello everyone, this bowl is just the start. We will make it big. Request you to stay here after joining. Meanwhile, do share this in your network. It would be a great help.

Till the time this bowl is growing, you can post confessions, advice, requests etc.

Use the format:
Age, Gender[M,F or any other]
Then your post.

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

1. Frequency of positive engagements (positive in a productive, constructive sense)
2. Increasing numbers of people engaging in each topic as they get more comfortable using the tool and airing their opinions
3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)

What are your thoughts?

Welcome to all my fellow travelers. Travel is a great way to open your eyes to the world we live in. To experience new cultures & customs & embrace diversity in our world which makes being human so special. Due to Covid travel has been definitely not a priority for most people. As travel changes in our society due to borders opening and technology let's discuss and share on the experience so we can adjust to our new world and prepare for a safer experience which could be inspiring-

Biggest stereotypes about working in diversity & inclusion....Go!

How did you begin to implement equity and inclusion into your organization?

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Let’s start by posting age, location gender (a selfie if you want!) I’m 30/M from nyc looking for something more serious these days in terms of dating..

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

Any consulting firms that are particularly good for Jews or which honor Jewish holidays? My firm has a Jewish diversity team but I’d love to learn about others.

Pro tip: live close to poorer people to feel rich. The feelings of wealth are extremely subjective and is mainly based on comparison

What’s your current billable rate and salary?

Anyone know what TC is approximately for Bus Dev Manager role at DraftKings?

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

So I have my bachelors in criminal justice and I just finished my paralegal certificate course today. My attorney should be making partner this year. With that being said I told her that I would complete my certificate by the summer around the time she would make partner. Should I mention to her Monday that I completed my paralegal certificate in hopes that the raise will be bigger or should I wait until June when she makes partner.thoughts?

Where have you seen Siegfried people exited to?

BCG versus McK for digital consulting? If we are looking broadly at the digital transformation space, then what are some of the strengths of each of firm as well as any glaring drawbacks?

Looking at Forrester, they are both leaders in the space, but it would be helpful to understand the perception of each.

In the heat of combat, there's no second to waste. I've never felt more focused in my life than when I'm holding a rifle, it is like the rest of the world disappears, and it's just me and the instinct to survive.

Hey guys I’m looking for an exit opportunity to maybe Google or Apple doing product management. Does anyone have a contact or willing to refer me?

Durant +3.5 points/rebound/assists over Giannis. What a comeback! It was 48-38 with like 2.5 minutes to go.

I can’t find a new job after searching for more than a year at this point. BRUH

I notice that your “visual identity” for this workshop represents different sexes and different cultures - but no older people - who are now bearing the brunt of ageism. Why have we been left out?

Nadia, your Unconscious Bias training was so incredibly impactful for me and my team!! Brilliant. So stoked to see this crucial conversation on here. So many questions!

Is there a Latinos in advertising bowl?!

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. First question:

African American vs Black - what is more accepted?

I’m sad that instead of showing that there are no differences between human beings, we are advocating for races (what I understand it is very necessary). Just afraid that will create more division.

Does anyone have any useful articles, tweets, insta posts that I could send people when they say “if I can’t say that then what CAN I say, everything is offensive.” I’m tired.

Does anyone else feel a lack of trust at work? A lack of trust in your judgement, reasoning, ideas etc...

How do you navigate that, other than proving yourself repeatedly?

Feeling very discouraged.

Does anyone talk about economic diversity? You know middle class and economically challenged people who cannot afford art schools and expensive private colleges?

How do you deal with culture of fear, where things are not reported or addressed in fear of retaliation?

I am a POC and just recently got pushed out of my new role. They told me I wasn't a good fit and failed to meet job requirements. Struggling to understand whether I was let go bc of my work ethic or

Day 1 of Glenn Singleton's Courageous Conversations About Race training today actually rocked my world. So many things I've never talked about or even considered talking about just bubbled up. 😱

Does anyone have experience confronting workplace inequality? Any lawyer recommendations? Things to say/not say?

I don’t trust HR and I don’t know what to do.

We are a small shop of 10 and are sorely lacking any people of color on our team. How do we recruit interest without coming right out and asking for POC to apply?

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. 2nd question:

If referring to the only minority on another team is saying "the Asian/black/etc" guy offensive?
