As an RBC employee who has already made a decision not to display the triangle, I'm more concerned about the discrimination the program will create than the discrimination it aims to stamp out. To display a sticker at one's workstation is a fairly clear gesture. Not displaying one isn't so clear, however, and idle speculation of co-workers as to why their colleague(s) haven't chosen to opt in could, and no doubt will, turn this into a source of gossip or, worse, retaliation.<br /><br />Secondly, if you're going to celebrate diversity -- and believe me, I'm all for diversity in all its forms, don't get me wrong there -- that would entail celebrating more than one minority group. Where are the stickers celebrating aboriginal workers? Physically handicapped workers? Workers of visible minorities? These are groups that are surely encompassed by the bank's core values that partly inspired this program, yet one group is singled out as though aristocracy among minority groups.<br /><br />That being said, the program hasn't reached my particular department yet, but I'm waiting to see what the outcome will be upon my declination to participate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
