How diverse is your workplace?
- Thread starter Yinyangfooey
- Start date
I work for an accounting firm.
On the staff level, we're pretty diverse, in race, nationality, and gender.
On the managerial level, a lot of that diversity disappears; exclusively white men and women.
The partners are all old white dudes.
Equal opportunity apparently means everyone gets equal opportunity to be a grunt on the ground floor. Who'd a thunk it?

I work in an emergency department and I'd say it's extremely diverse. Probably more so than just about any other workplace in my city (which historically is considered not very diverse).
I mean management period at any level. There are no black people that have a direct report.
Mostly white with some black and Hispanic employees with mostly being middle to old age
All the higher ups are white and male usually older age too
Ironically our IT department is most diverse with white, black, Hispanic, Vietnamese and Indian (myself included)
I am one of the youngest in the entire company too
2nd youngest in the IT department - I am in my early 30s along with the youngest and everyone else is 40+
Gender wise I would say it's 65% male and 35% female

This is completely opposite with my last job where the higher ups were Indian and young to middle age with majority of employees being white in their 20s and most of them were...really into video games, anime and stuff that I usually see more often on the internet
Gender wise I would say...55% male and 45% female
It was a shitty call center job so no surprise I guess

Pretty diverse, which you wouldn't expect from a place that mostly does DoD stuff.
In my last meeting, there were:
1 Puerto Rican man (myself)
2 black women (one of whom is program manager)
2 openly lesbian white women
1 black man
1 Asian man
4 white men
3 white women

Looks about white. Almost all white. IIRC, I am the only non-white person when I was still working.
I work for amazon prime now and you can count the white people working a shift on one hand
it's wild
it's wild
I'm the only black person there.
Out of 20 or so employees, only 4 people of color.
My office's version of diversity is mainly hiring (white) women and having a "girl boss".
So as far as they're concerned, mission accomplished.

Hm, my team consists of
5 germans, 1 Egyptian ,1 Romanian, 2 Serbians, 1 Russian, 1 Bulgarian, 1 Chilean, 1 South African, 1 Chinese, 1 Spainard.
The Male-Female split is 10-5, which is alright for IT, I guess.
Edit: I don't know any numbers from the rest of the company, but outside of IT we are way less diverse when it comes to ethnicity, but the male-female ratio pretty much reverses.
IT is also the only english speaking team, the rest of the company speaks german when working.

I am the third black person on my team. There is also an asian guy. The company is huge and pretty much 90% white people.
2 Blacks, 2 Whites, surrounded by Republican Asians LoL. I laugh and smh whenever politics come up. One coworker was confused why a White co-worker would vote for Obama.
Videogame studio in NZ here, with about 137 employees give or take
Gender: ~76% male, 24% female, some trans staff, gender balance improving over time, though very top level management are all male (and white males at that)
Ethnicity: about 65% Caucasian
Culturally: mostly NZers, probably around 65%, but about 20 countries represented overall including China, Malaysia, South Africa, Philippines, US, UK, Panama, Argentina...
Politically: mostly fall between Progressive to Centrist
Sexuality: unsure, but anecdotally aware of a range of sexual orientations
Religion: unsure, but would guess almost all atheist, with a small handful of Christians
We have a small Diversity and Representation committee of volunteers to discuss related issues and opportunities in our studio, games, and fanbase, and are at the point of firming up some things to take things further, including getting neurodiversity into the conversation. Pretty happy with the way our content has been able to include a lot of diversity and representation over the last couple of years.

Diversity efforts usually mean, "we'll hire a bunch of Asians and say we've hired people if color" while still not hiring Black and Latino people.
I work with five other people. Two women, one Hispanic dude, two Canadians and three Americans is the breakdown of our team.
Out of 1100 employees in our head office, I am one of only 2 transgender people, and the other is a contract employee. Pretty far to go, there.
I'm the only white male. So very diverse thankfully. I seem to have avoided the techbro scene in my IT career.
My engineering department kinda shirks the stereotypes. We got a lot of gender diversity but barely any racial diversity. Rest of the company is more diverse though
