Good grief, will the nonsense ever end? My team is at least twice as 'diverse' as Charles team ever will be (if you buy into divisive identity politics and placing people in demographic boxes). We have actual work to do and don't need a monthly lecture on the subject. Now if they want us to start hiring all of our friends from our former employer, then Charles could give a good lecture.

At some point there’s going to be a much bigger reaction to this stuff than Trump
It’s all designed to keep the young, leftist employees in our midst placated while Charlie and company get rich off of financing oil pipelines and defense contractors
I have a twin brother. When we applied at our state university, my brother was honest but I claimed I was blakc.
My brother wasn't admitted, and ended up going to a local community college.
However, I did get admitted and got all kinds of financial aid.
In this day and age, you need to claim to be what they want you to be, even if you are not. You need to look out for yourself.
Nothing you've said so far has anything to do with this thread. People from every single aspect of diversity do what you are talking about. You think millennials aren't empire-building? It's a natural tendency of the species operating in a business environment. Stop embarrassing yourself.
The lizard took a DNA test and found she was 1/1032nd Native American. Who ISN'T 1/1032nd of SOMETHING? She called herself Native American to do law in TX. Scammer.
I worked my way through college.
I have been raising a family with my wife.
I have continued to keep pushing on and working to get the jobs done as needed, and more at times, of course.
I have been at Wells for nearly 15 years.
Through the wonderment of DEI, I have now "rightfully" discovered that I am despicable, the wrong this or that, I should just curl up and...
Thanks for the enlightenment Chuck.
Oh, by the way, any other snake oil programs to sell us?
Hey Elizabeth Warren is 10% native according to her 23 and me test. Maybe we should all follow in her footsteps and proclaim to be "diverse" so they think WF met the quotas.
Take a online genetic test. Technically everyone is at least biracial.
This is so shareholders can feel good about holding shares of a company. It is all about ESG. Stupid reason to buy shares of stock. It is just an illusion.
Good for you. Now shut up.
Shoot. A large majority of the headcount now are folks from off-shore. Doesn't that count for our DE&I?
I stopped attending those months ago. They’re not about diversity, it’s about blackness. Very little time is given to the other races.
Corporations need to spend millions to convince us that diversity is our strength, we can see right through it.
The vast majority of DIE roles have been filled by black employees, they need to get those quotas up somehow. They sure aren’t on the board.
Which invalidates the point made in the comment?
Anyone who has been through a few layoffs here knows how the old guard plays the game. Build your kingdom as big as possible so you're a painful group to cut. Avoid new technology because you'll have to justify training dollars to management and learn another new process.
Lack of brain plasticity is rampant in all levels of management.
I think you meant to type “fiefdom”, not “fifedom”
I loathe having deadweight 60-somethings fighting every inch of progress made in this company so they can keep trying to build their little fifedom.
When I'm working with someone, I don't think anything about any of their physical characteristics. I'm only concerned with one thing - getting the job done. PERIOD. This DEI etc is a waste of time for most. Can't we just focus on doing our jobs?
I have to say I’ve been reading all these posts about diversity and the BS that goes on - was very skeptical honestly. Then I applied for an internal transfer. After 2 months of waiting, I was a finalist but since there were not enough “diverse” candidates the position is being reopened again. Time to look elsewhere.
I loathe having some twenty-something manager with green hair, tatoos and a tongue piercing telling me this cr@p over and over.
It's embarassing.
Woke Fargo at its best pandering to the bottom rung that always needs a freebie.
I haven't heard of this. What do you do at these meetings?
I just identify as non white now
This stuff is cringe worthy. If they really cared they would sponsor team lunches, end of the year events etc. Can you imagine if they sponsors a music event. Instead, its race baiting and division meetings, how absolutely boring and un fun can you get.
Championship games aren’t won with just utility players.
If I'm asked to acknowledge my perceived privilege based on the lack of color in my epidermal layer one more time...
I busted my a$$ to get to where I am!
