I work for RBC (at the commercial level) and it's quite evident that RBC is a leftist hell-hole. They will promote POCs over white people at any chance and always promote women over men at any chance. It's always trans, gay, women whatever.
The last 7 promotions in my office have all been women. My manager is a woman, my manager's manager is a woman. The other manager in the office is a woman. When she went on mat leave she was replaced by a woman. That woman got promoted and replaced by a woman. It has begun to get so bad, a couple promotions ago a woman started talking to me about how she's really upset I didn't get the promotion because I'd be great for the job and she even admitted/knew the only reason the last woman got her position was because she was a woman.
Just today, the most incompetent person in my office got a big promotion. She's a woman and the best looking woman but she's had tons of complaints against her, she relies on other people to do her work for her because she doesn't know what she's doing and is just overall incompetent. I got a few texts from men in the office who are really upset by this. I am long past due for a promotion and am considered by everyone, including the woman who just got promoted, as being the most competent in the office.
It seems being white, a man and competent is a disadvantage. I am wondering if there are large companies where being white, a man and competent could be an advantage or at the very least, not a disadvantage?
Are all the big banks like this? I keep looking at switching out of Royal but I doubt there’s any where to go but the local credit union and loose perks like rewards credit cards.
I think banking at the retail level is all like this. Canadian banking at the commercial level all appears to be like this. I've heard commercial banking at American banks is still somewhat resistant to the social justice shift. Investment banking at Canadian banks is currently undergoing its transition to social justice but certain pockets are better at resistance than others. This is about the same for American investment banks.
Generally speaking, the better the job, the more resistance to social justice it is because it's not in banks interests to force equality in jobs that actually require competence.
