It is awful, but they are in a consultation period, so no one yet knows which jobs will be lost.

so yes you are saying itās not important. it is as important as regulation and how to run a bank.
are you seriously claiming otherwise?

What things by law, do you need to run a bank? A license, security etc. You do not need a diversity HR person by law to run a bank.

Yes, it is definitely not as important as preventing fraud
One is a law, the other an extremely valuable aspiration
Unless you are claiming there is prejudice, with no substantiation

You are mixing up the LAW and a specific job role.

Yes there is more work to do at
, but in generally terms, culture wise, they are in a reasonable place
Again, in what way?. They hired a head of diversity and inclusion, got a ton of press about it and then axed her when it came to cost cutting.
Is Monzoās culture in a good spot?. I doubt with huge turnover in the senior executive team, staff firings, redundancies and furloughs that culture is in a good spot. Why would so many senior execs leave if culture was great?.
They already recognise and communicate the need, own the problem, and work towards it
How is axing your head of diversity and inclusion working towards improving the problem?. It does seem like Monzo recognises things that need to change, but donāt commit to it, and then axe it as soon as they have the good press and they need to cut costs
At a time when they are up against it they need to prioritise legal functions, not someone expensive and recently introduced to keep telling them that
Thatās not what a head of diversity does.If Monzo is getting rid of its head of diversity, engineers, data scientists and operations staff, itās clearly not in a good spot. A tech company certainly does not axe engineers when things are going well

precisely. it seems youāre saying with a straight face that as long as you meet minimum legal standards thatās all that matters.
i think a lot of people have very good reasons for telling you thatās a crock of s.
there are all sorts of minimally-legal things you can technically do. a lot of them are morally indefensible or even outright heinous.

Still not been axed.

Youāre not getting this are you?
She hasnāt even been made redundant yet (and might not be) and youāre already angry about it.
Maybe she thinks that if she can get a role else where that will save a colleague? No idea.

A couple of reminders:
- This is a raw and emotional time for many working for Monzo who may well be reading this. Letās be sensitive to that.
- This thread isnāt the place for discussion of whether diversity is a core business function.

Did you ever have to deal with crises? Sometimes you have to take a decision between two bad options.

Just to be very clear, nobody has been axed or given notice of redundancy. I think it is important to mention that before tabloids scrape the forum for a headline.

YES they have. She has confirmed it herself, sheās in the consultation.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Removed Posts - June 2020
Which is not the same as being given notice of being made redundant.
