While Shantanu and the execs pronounce “Adobe for all” and “We have a responsibility to ensure that we have an internal workplace where all employees are equal,” it comes off as just lip service to me.

I’ve experienced the worst racism of my career at Adobe, and witnessed/had colleagues be subjected harassment in separate incidents. It was all reported and ERC did nothing. When I reported the racism, the inept HR employee that was assigned to my case essentially went dark without even going through with his own next stated next steps. Total waste of my time and makes me think twice about ever reporting an incident in the future.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    People frequently use racism card to hide ineptitude. I have stayed in the Bay Area for 8+ years and never witnessed racism in any company I worked for.

      I've been in the bay area for 20+ years and have never witnessed any murdering. Must not be any, right?

      GvdD70: Based on your experience, you can certainly state that the bay area city you live in is safe right? That you dont see or hear murders taking placd every day like in Chicago? Or you cannot make that assessment?

    Yes happened to my friend. Tried to take time off work to deal with a serious illness and manager wouldn’t let him even though he was ahead on his work

      Sorry to clarify he was the only black team member and was constantly getting harassed by that manager and he had to quit his job because he was too sick to work and couldn’t get any time off. I tried to get him to switch to my team but he’d already quit when he told me

      That sounds awful. I’m sorry to hear about that.

  • This is the case not just for racist behavior, but pretty much all complaints made to HR. They are just not incentivized to not confirm/punish violations, unless you have evidence that would hold up in court.
