For an organization that puts out their values of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion at the forefront of everything, they can only check off only one of these boxes. Just because leadership includes people of color does not mean they fully respect their employees as human beings. Wolf in sheep's clothing situation. There is generally a lack of focus on culture since we've burned through several DEI managers because there's no real support for this work, no real support for ERG's; it's all performative. They talk a lot about accountability, yet they can't seem to hold themselves accountable to their own failures. So many uncompleted projects from the leadership team, so many promises that aren't followed through on. Many of the recent HR policies have been rolled out simply because there's a union otherwise it wouldn't have happened. Promises of many new systems (HRIS, Knowledge management, etc.) and they all fall through for one reason or another. They love talking about the work that can be done, but no one rolls up their sleeves to actually get it done; instead they try to pawn it off to consultants and lower level employees. When they fail, they look outward to external people who can come and save the day, but ultimately there are internal cultural issues that don't allow for real progress and change. They extract as much as they can from you without clear rewards, and then look elsewhere when you've reached your limit.
