less than great for LGBTs - Anonymous employee TIAA Employee Review

I came to TIAA assuming that its emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion would extend to LGBT employees. Unfortunately, the commitment seems like lip service. Some examples: - When here in NC the governor signed a bill restricting LGBT rights, TIAA (one of the largest employers in Charlotte) was silent. - There are virtually no LGBT people in senior leadership - the "Executive Leadership Group" has less than 2% who are openly gay (all are women). - While race/gender diversity is always noted as a plus for recruitment/promotion purposes, I have never seen sexual orientation noted. - I know many LGBT employees who feel that they would be further in their careers if they had stayed in the closet. Never a good sign.
