    Lol hard to feel bad for the guy, he had it coming right? He's got loads of money so I'm sure he'll bounce back once the desk settles. Wonder what's going to happen to the HR director now

    I kind of saw that coming. It's a huge story. I feel bad for the spouses, who are the victims and all of this. And I'm kind of surprised that the head of HR didn't resign, since that's like, her entire job… To enforce the rules that she very publicly broke.

    Do we know that they have rules against dating internally? Infidelity isn’t a rule that a company would have. What could easily be in place is a rule about dating within your reporting chain of command. While she’s breaking it, it could be positioned as a power dynamic that she couldn’t refuse. Who knows what the real story is, but having a relationship with the boss is a well-known trope for a reason.

In your opinion is DEI dead at work (specifically in tech)? It was such a big push a few years ago and now I don’t hear anything.

The work culture on my team is pretty bad. There is high burn out, lots of fighting, finger pointing, working 24/7. When I bring this up, the leaders mention that this is just how tech culture is. It is worse at other companies. I haven’t worked at another company so I feel like I can’t counter. What should I say?

I just referred my brother in law to the same team I’m on. HR told me that was against policy. I was shocked. Has anyone heard that before? Again, I just sent a referral link and email. I didn’t demand them to hire him. I won’t even be on the hiring process.

I know of an employer that employs asian females almost exclusively in their production area. The job is mostly soldering through hole components. The pay isn't very high. There are about 40 people working in that production area and it's 95% asian females. The odd part is there are two leads and a supervisor in that area and they are all white. It really seems like race based hiring practices.

I just found out I didn’t get the promotion that I was certain I would get. I’m feeling very emotional about it. For those who have experienced this, what are the next steps? What should I do and what should I not do?
