Why hire Black talent if you’re not going to give them proper training and almost immediately put them on a PIP? This is a huge problem at my agency.

Optics (aka: we really didn't want to hire anyone Black but didn't want to be called out for being racist, so we hired someone so we'd have a reason to call ourselves diverse even though we'd rather fast track people who aren't Black). I honestly believe that they're thrilled that it isn't 2020 anymore and DEI is openly used as a slur nowadays.

It almost feels like it’s on purpose doesn’t it? I’ve heard of this happening A LOT!

Lol this sounds like Deloitte

Sounds like a way to pad diversity numbers without actually caring about diversity. Then they could say “We tried! Just didnt work out! 🤸🏼‍♀️” smh

We know it’s not fair. Are the new hires getting guidance from industry veterans before they get on PIP? Did they walk in with a plan of action the first 30 days? We gotta take our careers into our hands.

@ Vice President 1, most pips are two weeks, and they are doing that to justify not giving unemployment. It is a messed-up practice. :(

What role are we talking about where there is an expectation that you’re gonna get training? I have literally never received any training my entire career 10+ years.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
