A legend-for his work and for his persistence in showing up in times of need. It was to support Jeremiah that in my darkest hour Joe was there-watching my son play small town youth soccer and going out for ice cream after. He is loved.

A digital graphic with a deep blue background presents the definition of “Plutocracy” in a dictionary-style format. At the top, “Plutocracy” is written in bold white text, followed by (noun) in italicized white text. Below, the phonetic pronunciation /pluˈtɒkrəsi/ is also in italicized white text. The Origin section follows, underlined and written in white: “From Greek ploutos (πλοῦτος) ‘wealth’ + kratos (κράτος) ’power, rule’.” The words “wealth” and “power, rule” are in bold. The Definition section, also underlined, explains: “A system of government where wealth is the main source of power, and political control is held by the richest individuals or elites. Policies and decisions consistently benefit the wealthy, deepening economic inequality.” The emphasized words are in bold. At the bottom, the Human Rights Index logo appears in white.

🔎 Word of the Day: Plutocracy

Ridiculous. And after the NFL doubled down on its dei commitment 😠

A man and a woman having a race. The man has a relatively clear path with two hurdles and the woman’s path is filled with obstacles and dangers and she is wearing a ball chained to her ankle.

DEI explained

My son was an artist - the importance of art therapy is incredibly underrated. Even when we can’t find the words to journal (as is often recommended) journaling through images prevails

I’m going into the workforce after a hiatus and am declining to self identify on applications. It isn’t the companies’ use of the data that’s scary - it’s the government’s approach to data privacy. When information can be sold and funds are unlimited, confidentiality is dead 😵

My professional HR stance is that companies asking for demographic data use it to improve, hiring managers don’t see it, recruiters don’t use it, and the quantity of demographic questions correlates positively with the amount focus a company is giving dei - more questions, more focus. However…

the cat distribution system and this bridge gave me a kitten in October - my son aptly named her Heidy

These two diluted torbie kitten sisters are being housed at different Montgomery county animal shelters. They will both be happier cats if they stay together. Anyone who can adopt, please consider them both.

I’m sorry for you too

HR perspective but not government HR - is there a severance policy and is this aligned? 2: what if they say no? Do they get fired without pay? 3: something I could never wrap my brain around - severance is charged to a different code than wages so it looks like a $saver bc it doesn’t hit bottom line

fellow vilomah. My child also died by suicide

(referring to a PIP for underperforming employee) these expectations seem doable - let’s include a gotcha so I can definitely terminate.
HR response - no. (DEI) company policy is to set clear expectations for improvement. If these objectives are met, your employee is meeting expectations

(manager referring to employee raise)
I’m giving her less because she’s going on maternity leave and who knows if she’ll return
HR response - (DEI) company policy is to align increases with prior year performance and her raise better reflect that. Also, (law) we don’t punish people for having babies

(manager trying to gender a job post)
I can only hire a man because my wife doesn’t want me working closely with a woman.
HR response - no. (DEI) company policy is to use the approved template and guidelines so all qualified people can apply. (law) and if a woman is most qualified, we’ll hire her

(manager deciding between two final candidates, 1 male and 1 female) I like them both, but the male candidate will get along better with the (all male) team.
HR response - no. ( DEI) company policy is to get well rounded and fair candidate feedback via a diverse interview team, which you didn’t do.

diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are not racist or unnecessary. Laws aim to protect people from discrimination and harassment. DEI focused company policies combat practices that create skill, wage, and performance gaps and toxic cultures. Examples below
