I find this really disturbing because it's just another sign that they are positioning themselves to dismantle civil rights laws.
Automatically assuming that a heavily women and non-white workforce is less qualified — even to make coffee — is definitionally racist and sexist. But further, it never occurred to him that the racial/gender make up is because most jobs at Starbucks pay low wages? Let’s see data on management!
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

So it is possible for professional organizations to have a backbone. Guess just not ours.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Curious to see how many people who coincidentally started studying DEI in 2020 suddenly switch topics and do nothing to publicly support it now that the tides have shifted

In our new TIP paper, we call on the #SIOP and #IOPsych community to take action to preserve #DEI, even if their research, practice, or teaching isn't focused on DEI. It affects our whole profession when evidence-based practices are banned based on political whims.

Gov. Abbott threatening to fire the president of #TexasA&M over sending an email about the PhD Project conference is shameful. And frankly, we all seem way too calm about our jobs being increasingly criminalized.

I want to compile a comprehensive list of research funding opportunities for our PhD students in HRM/Labor Relations as part of a doc seminar I'm teaching. I'd love to tap the community here to make sure I cover all my bases. Please share any that you know of. I'm happy to post the final list.

What I struggle with the most when I have a high volume of grading is that I find it so BORING. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for staying motivated and engaged? I feel like I would truly rather do anything else.

To other folks in the throes of grading final projects: are you seeing a lot of AI usage? How are you handling it? What do you do to preempt or lean into it?

My recent answer would be this paper. It draws much needed attention to intersectionality within our field and builds on critical work by Kimberlé Crenshaw

As we continue to fight to preserve our ability to do evidence-based DEI work in organizations, let's remember who tends to be on the frontlines of that fight.
Check out my recently published commentary where my collaborators and I discuss how those tapped to do DEI work is disproportionately placed on individuals with minoritized identities. We also briefly discuss how to improve this.
