Training your Boss: Being passed up for promotion
"It was the 6th time I was passed up for the promotion and had to train the new (non-Black) hire; who then failed, quit, and in some cases, were fired!"
​​
By sharing accounts of hiring bias (the tendency to not choose candidates who look like you), we believe employers will see how drastically inequity can hinder a firm's success. It keeps less-qualified & poor-performing individuals in positions & deprives qualified diverse candidates opportunities to help firms thrive.
Context: One AWD Member was fired after she saw a firm executive take a junior employee into a hotel room for no discernable business reason.
