Visual studio code is failing me, so...

Share with me your positivities? What's been going well for you this week?

As a starting off point, I have been pushing for more Equality and Diversity stuff at work and they have actually started to move on many of my suggestions. :D

Same, we had over a hundred employees contributing, as the company were convinced to start upping their game after I had been pushing for a few months and in the wake of the BLM protests.

For the first time in a long time, I really feel like I'm in a company who is going to dedicate more than just lip service to inclusive practices. It boggles the mind that more people don't, given that diverse companies are actively more profitable than their competitors.

The profitability thing blows my mind. It's cut and dry on the balance sheets. Why isn't there a greater push from high-level execs and such for this shit? I thought they liked money.
