    Really insightful conversation Karl & Tiffany👍🏾 ERGs (when done right) can really be a real game changer for fostering a culture of belonging at work. Love how Tiffany highlights the burnout tendency for the employees running the ERGs on top of their job responsibilities. Many times, ERG leaders have minimal support and resources to keep their group going. This really needs to change. One thing I would add is that at the end of the day, ERG members may share certain parts of their identity but they are certainly not homogenous. It is important to lead ERGs collaboratively to ensure that engagement is relevant for everyone.

    Equity means you do most of the work and I get equal credit or compensation so that my person doesn't suffer from lack of resources regardless of the reason for my lack of resources. Here's what people for equity don't get; that life and rewards may not be fair but are just based on your preparation to contribute to the solution. If we are talking true equity and not equality, then my company owner should pay me the same amount of compensation they get for even though they took the risks and reaped the consequences of the company profiting or not profiting. We don't get equity of treatment and reward just because we are different or diverse in our job skills, race, ethnicity, or beliefs. it just isn't so. There are winners and losers. Participation trophy's do not pay as much as winner trophies!

    The basic idea behind DEI is: hiring more people of a different race in the work place. Are there more details to it? Sure, but that is the basic notion of what DEI stands for. If I'm a hiring manager, I'm going to hire based on the aptitude and ability to do the job and to fit in our work environment. Notice NOTHING I said has anything to do with race yet if I had to follow the DEI rules, I would be told that my company "needs more darker skinned associates" or disabled associates or handicap associates, etc..., whether or not they have the skill to do the job doesn't matter to DEI, I simply need more black, handicap, homosexual, etc. people on staff. That is absurdly preposterous, your skin color and sexual orientation has no influence on your ability to do a job. DEI is not only racism, but bigotry and discriminatory, plain and simple. It discriminates against the people that actually HAVE the ability to do the job.

    by your hair I could already tell what your position would be on this. I guess all that "Unconscious Bias" training counted for nothing! 😂 Screw you and your ilk. You want leadership and position without having earned it. You saunter into meetings with all the entitlement in the world yet no skill, experience, or drive to justify it. Let us men handle the affairs of the world, you should have never provoked us.

    The problem with DEI is always the same First, the actual ROI for workers and customers is either sparse, fanciful correlations or just plain underwhelming. Second, DEI creates a hostile work environment. If you want to inhibit open communication, collaboration, cooperation and destroy trust among employees and annihilate morale, then definitely implement DEI Lastly, ironically the most cynical people about DEI today (2024) are women and ethnic minorities. Everyone else has adapted to it by withdrawing and reducing personal risk and liability. Perfect example of this is MeToo and followed by MentorHer The contempt, hubris and ineptitude of people championing this stuff is one thing, but they somehow consistently misapprehend the consequences that follow

Her answer to reporters? “Well, if I had some sort of ‘magic sauce’ I could use….” Yea! Diversity hires are really making things run waaaaay better.
