@SMARTYMobileUK @Digital_Crate I did @SMARTYMobileUK . It was a useless exercise as your team didn’t know the network was down, didn’t know why, and couldn’t tell me anything about when it might be resolved.
Three days later and counting…
Is your company in trouble, perhaps? Financial difficulties?

[Marie-Clare @byMarieClare]

@Digital_Crate @SMARTYMobileUK Thanks. The network checker says it’s still down in my area 🫩

We @TechLondonAdv launched our report yesterday https://t.co/WsSDk5GXyQ Practically zero change since 2016. Bearing in mind the majority of funding is given by white men to white men, it is little surprise; diversity still starts from the top.

Mini rant:

Every time an organisation says it's going to hire more diverse staff, someone replies "but surely you should hire the best candidates regardless of background!"

And every time, what they think is a counterpoint is actually an argument *for* a diverse hiring policy.
