Ernst & Young slammed for sexist seminar, musicians protest Amazon’s ICE ties, and content creators tap into the customer journey

Good morning, PR pros:

Accounting firm Ernst & Young is facing harsh criticism over a training seminar delivered to some female executives in June 2018.

The seminar, which took place at the height of the #MeToo movement, did nothing to address harassment in the workplace, but instead tried to instruct women on how to assimilate in a male-dominated workplace.

The seminar, called Power-Presence-Purpose, was full of outdated advice for professional women.

HuffPost reported:

One section of the document is devoted to women’s appearance: Be “polished,” have a “good haircut, manicured nails, well-cut attire that complements your body type,” it states on Page 36. But then, a warning: “Don’t flaunt your body ― sexuality scrambles the mind (for men and women).”

The most important thing women can do is “signal fitness and wellness,” the presentation continues.

Ernst & Young has vociferously defended the seminar content.
