With all the pushback on DEI, I read something interesting the other day. Someone tweeted that “Access is called DEI when talking about minorities, but it’s called networking when talking about white people.”

I laughed but in reality, networking is about opening doors and getting access to opportunities. Is it basically another form of DEI, or was this person just trying to get a social media joke off.

Thoughts?

Considering switching to a hybrid or fully WFH position, does anyone here have a role like that? What are some of the pros/cons?

I Have a passion for Products/features. Anyone have experience going into a junior Product Owner role?

I’ve been in IT for 10 years. Desktop, NOC, web server implementations, POS, site trainer, now service delivery analyst in fintech world.

I thought about DevOps, but product / UI / Features excites me more. Having technical knowledge helps me communicate with devs, but I also have the people skills / mindset for product.

Just looking for guidance on how to land a product role. Thanks!

What are the tldr differences between HR roles, people Operations, and people business partner positions? They all seem similar but I’m curious how y’all characterize them.

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.

The more I work in advertising, the more apparent that majority of companies (and my own colleagues) don’t know how to reach consumers like me. It’s absolutely tragic. (Cont’d)

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

We’re hiring on our media & connections team. Various levels. If you’re looking to make a jump from a traditional media agency or a strategist who wants to get closer to both media and creative. Lmk.

If I got a raise for every micro aggression I’ve received while at my current agency, I’d be in a really high income bracket! Hah.

We’re looking for account folks.
- 1 badass brand director
- 2 AAEs who should’ve been promoted by now, but (insert bullshit agency excuse).

DM me, or contact my girl Andy Moerer

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.
