Boys Trip

This company talks about diversity and inclusion. However, it hosts a girls trip to Chicago! That's cool. Seriously, I'm o.k. With that. Question is: To avoid a discrimination lawsuit, when is the boy's trip?
 






This company is full of S***. If you are White Female, especially JWF, you go places. There is NO female minority or male minority no where near leadership in this company. They discriminate based on your race, religion, national origin and they Bully out folks who raise question. HR here is headed by White Female and Male, only African American male is just there for showing and nothing else. They should be shame and someone should have asked them about what role minorities play in Astellas? All a big joke!
 






This company is a joke. Talks about promoting women. Yes, if you kiss and manage up, you get promoted. If you are white, kiss up and manage up, you may go places, other than that, forget about it. Full of BS.....

Perhaps there are no qualified African American middle managers qualified or talented enough to make it to the next level. Seriously, if you are that talented then fucking leave and move on to another company. Pharma is always bending over backwards to attract diverse talent.

Spoken like a white male in management

It is funny that this company continues discriminate by hosting a girl's trip to Chicago activities.

Well said to most posts above. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to count the guys in leadership and compare to the minorities and females I would go out on a limb and guess that even the small handful of women/who broke through the glass are still pushing for equal treatment if not pay. That is discrimination. Up down and all around.
 
























Where in this post does it say anything about male vs. female? But since you mentioned it, this company also bends over backwards to look for opportunities for women and other what they call minorities. I am not saying this is wrong, just that it is true.

This company only creates the illusion of bending over backwards for minority and female opportunities. It's all a ruse. If you half a brain you know this. The original post of this thread is the perfect example. The typical white astellas male is actually complaining about astellas sponsoring the women in action conference??? Yet another white male buffoon who will never get it but will probably end up being one of our sr leaders some day. The only hope we have is our legal dept that seems to be the only dept in the company with high ranking minority or female leaders. One can only dream that they will start recognizing the archaic mindset here led by some of the morons making the most important decisions at this company and maybe start cleaning house. If not, it's the same old cycle of leaders who get where they get by being yes men, playing golf and cracking stupid jokes that nobody really thinks is funny.
 






Let's be clear on the Women in Action conference (not "girls' trip!") last month: it was pure window-dressing. The company would rather spend all that money on a big rah-rah boondoggle than promote women in the marketing or commercial ops organizations. Go to any of the managers or sales meetings or commercial offsites, and who do you see on stage? White guys. Lynn is the only female VP in all of APUS; besides her, there's one female executive director in marketing, and 3 female directors. And nobody of color. I'm so tired of the frat house running this company like their own personal kegger - and even worse, marginalizing some brilliantly talented people because they don't fit the mold. The next promotions are about to be announced, and surprise!! More white guys will get moved up - the same ones who perpetuate this discriminatory culture. "Women in Action" - give me a break!!
 






Same old racist bigotry! You must be one of those alt-right assholes. Go Trump Make American Hate Again. Blow it our of your non qualified ass. Bend over for these size 12s in your ass!

Why in the world would executive leadership so brazenly want to promote these people who discriminate? Are JR and other executive leaders that ignorant to insist on standing by these discriminators who will eventually bring THEM down? They need a gut check on whether or not protecting these people makes sense for THEIR OWN careers at Astellas. The blatant discrimination going on around the office is not a secret anymore. If leadership don't want to put good people first, then they should atleast put the company in front of their own interests.
 






Real discrimination is keeping David Boyd.... No matter how many careers he ruins based on his personal whims the company gives him a pass. Pat is too weak to take real action. Sad commentary of a gutless company.
 






Promotion at Astellas is not about past performance or the ability to perform at a higher level it is about being female - the Women In Action and the Women in Leadership initiative are about one thing - getting females promoted!
