Scenario

When employee groups disagree about working with management

Our employee resource group for LGBTQ+ staff is fighting about whether to collaborate with management on new policies or maintain independence, and it's revealed that some of us see working within the system as progress while others see it as co-optation, and we can't move forward on anything because we don't agree on our fundamental purpose. People are starting to disengage entirely.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A workplace community is fragmenting over whether institutional engagement represents progress or compromise.
