The current head of the legal/compliance/government affairs department is all about cultivating his image/perception and “the story he wants to tell the rest of the company about the department”. He makes a big production of showing how he values diversity and inclusion by attending 1-hour seminars offered by an outside law firm and emailing the rest of the department with the “suggestion” that everyone else participate in what is essentially a “checking the box” exercise. True diversity and inclusivity are not remotely attainable when the person touting its merits states in a staff meeting during Hispanic Heritage month that he “appreciates our Hispanic colleagues, because they bring SPICE to our department!” …completely oblivious to the awkward silence and jaws that dropped in response. One of the company’s core values is: “the full story told in broad daylight”, which couldn’t be further from the truth in this department. If you are asked your opinion (which rarely happens) and you provide honest feedback, or if you try to make suggestions to improve how the department functions, not only is it likely to be disregarded, but you will likely be passive-aggressively punished for it down the road, if it doesn’t comport with management's views.
