Now that dare to bleed is a fact in the wind they roll out mandatory allyship training. WTF is going on here? Why don't they take some "how to make a business make money" training and let the working stiffs do their fu--ing jobs.

Kate's old company dumps DEI initiatives. Time to read the writing on the wall: DEI/ESG is no substitute for actually good financial performance.
Maybe they should take a page from Tractor Supply and let it go. Do not waste any more time or money. Fix what is broken
All this BS for the few.
Dare to lead did not work, only cost us millions. Let it go
Come on. companies just like the government know whats best for their subjects.
How dare you have any feeling about what is being done for YOUR benefit!
If you where to poll the employee’s, without using fear to effect the out come. I would guess 80% of them would say enough with DEI. Stop trying to make us like you and start saving customers and the company
Boooooyyyyyy am I feeling it... Been trying to get a mental health leave approved for a few months due to burnout. The DTL training has not helped with my issue, nor the cultural transformation training, nor the new Allyship training.
What this training has helped me with is...low morale, a jarring sensation to do the bare minimum and a quick trigger of non-empathy for every new paper pusher I am being forced to train from my customer facing position...on the customers time and dime! Welcome to the transformative, disruptive company simply known as Lumen.
I think hes talking about a recent call where some people in management had big and loud Pride 2024 backgrounds with pictures of people and parades it looked like. Which is fine on your own time but a background at work should be neutral no? And not make statements that not everyone would feel the same way about? Cant wait for the Biden and Trump backgrounds this fall!!
"when did lumen allow people to make statements on their video backgrounds?"
I'm not sure who you're referring to specifically. however, was on a mass markets call yesterday and someone presenting had political garbage in one of their chats which was up for a brief moment after they played a video.
I'm not surprised one bit. MM is full of bigoted s*it-heels
i missed that, who had what on their background?
when did lumen allow people to make statements on their video backgrounds?
can we now endorse political candidates, personal and religious beliefs as well?
"Allyship across the rainbow" baby!!
"Was in a company in past where all these trainings were having as a prep to mass to mass outsourcing of jobs. So this stuff lays foundation to respect injection of international people"
On a recent conf call, they said there were 6 thousand employees in India. When did that happen?
Go to a new company who thinks DEI is BS. That's the easiest way.
99 cent stock
Was in a company in past where all these trainings were having as a prep to mass to mass outsourcing of jobs. So this stuff lays foundation to respect injection of international people
go woke, go broke
stock price right on target
it has to be intentional imho
There are (not so intelligent) upper managers on big town halls who have said things like the candidates that were given to me for a certain job req were not diverse enough so I went back to HR to have them find me more diverse candidates.
He didnt say the candidates werent "qualified" enough...he said they werent "diverse" enough. Thats stuff that can get him sued btw. And it should also tell you all you need to know about where this company is headed.
Its rotting from within.
"Allyship: focusing on the efforts of privileged groups to help disadvantaged groups"
In other words, DEI hires getting pulled along by those that earned it and know what the fu-k they are doing.

"STFU and go get trained"
LOL. Yeah just look at all the numbskull texts on this board for proof of why Lumen could use some more inclusion, diversity and allys in this company.
STFU and go get trained
I see now. Its people like you that are the reason the rest of os have to have DEI and allyship training. You must be a dei hire.
Titanicship training next . . .
