Is LinkedIn censoring people who complain about racism? Was LinkedIn's AI algorithm upset that I tagged Chegg Inc.'s Dan Rosensweig and critiqued him? Why was a recent post of mine flagged as inappropriate by LinkedIn Artificial Intelligence. Why was it removed? I have submitted an appeal. Please report to LinkedIn algorithms that remove posts about Chegg Inc. due to an AI algorithm that is not inaccurate. My post was simply a post with comment that reposted another person's post that was allowed. I am African American. The original poster was White and the person who reposted was related to the founder of Chegg Inc. Why was my post removed for complaining about the president of Chegg Inc. who likened Black and Palestinian protestors to the Ku Klux Klan? Does LinkedIn censor critiques of companies who have CEOs that employees reveal likened anti-war protestors at Columbia to the "Ku Klux Klan"? Does Linked in use AI that does not contextualize posters' use of terms like "racialist". This cannot stand. The Israel-Palestine conflict has led to doxxing, bullying, and other attempts by social media to inaccurately and with bias apply its policies in ways that remove anti-war statements and critiques. It is time for censorship of people critiquing people in power to stop in regards to an Israeli war that even President Biden says he wants ended. Here is, once again, Chegg Inc.'s employees original post. https://lnkd.in/eXWmuFbF
(1/3) Hi all. Last week I voluntarily left Chegg Inc. after 4 positive years as a dedicated and (I thought) appreciated employee, but unfortunately I’m writing this post because the way I was treated on my way out has left me both upset and concerned. Upset due to its callousness, and concerned because I’m forced to question Chegg’s commitment to equal treatment of employees of all protected classes, not to mention its stated core values. I’m sharing this publicly because last week, within 3 hours of describing serious concerns to HR, my access to all Chegg communication channels was revoked. I don’t have confidence that my concerns will be followed up on, and I think it’s important they be heard both within and outside of Chegg. One month ago, shortly after putting in my notice of resignation, I overheard then-CEO Dan Rosenweig in the New York open-plan office make a statement likening the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia to racists “hanging nooses”, suggesting they were permitted to happen because “the president is Muslim.” He then implied the campus protest environment at Harvard was similarly related to the fact that “the president was a Black woman”. This was so offensive and inappropriate that I doubted I had heard correctly. In the coming weeks though, I spoke to multiple Palestinian and Arab American colleagues, and they described experiences with Chegg HR representatives that ranged from dismissive to hostile when they had raised concerns of their own.

In Feb., 1968, MLK talked about taking a stand. I think the media has blown up the idea of taking a stand. We all do it every day. We take a stand when we sacrifice time with our family to finish that project, make that phone call or send that email. We take a stand when we don’t check to see how we recruit people for positions is done in a respectful way. We take a stand when the effort to be better isn’t worth the effort to do better. Today, as you hear the words “I have a dream”, ask yourself “how are you making that dream a reality”. What’s one thing you can do to stand for the values you preach?” #MartinLutherKingDay #MLKDay #DoWhatsRight

In doing research last year for a keynote at The Career Leadership Collective Annual Conference in Atlanta, the birthplace of MLK, I learned something I would like to pass along on this historic day. Some of you may know this, and it is not hidden or hard to find...it is just rarely mentioned and, therefore, often unknown. In fact, when I asked this question at the conference from the stage, nobody knew the answer. I am certain that you know the name of Dr. King's historic speech, I Have a Dream, but do you know the name of the March in which the speech took place…the context of the speech? It was called, ‘The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom’. At its core, the march was essentially about two items: 1. Basic Civil Rights and, 2. Career/Job Equity. A major tenant of the march was inequitable career systems. Here is some historical context. Check out the embedded list of 10 demands from the organizers of the march. https://lnkd.in/gmkMY_9w. To my career services colleagues around the country: Never forget that the work of career services is equity work. And, you can help identify and change inequitable career systems. Wishing you a moment to reflect on MLK today. We stand on the shoulders of giants…and dreams. #MLKDay #CareerServices #HigherEducation
