The Advisors' Blog

Given the success of the #MeToo movement, this blog by Margaret O’Hanlon caught my eye. Here’s an excerpt:

Carrie Gracie of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) resigned her position as China editor last week to protest pay inequality within her organization. The fact that she did it in an open letter, even though “Speaking out carries the risk of disciplinary measures of even dismissal . . .” is not the sign of a peevish employee whose emotions have gotten the better of her. Ms. Gracie, a 30 year BBC veteran who is fluent in Mandarin, had been urged by the BBC to take the China editor position. “She is widely regarded as one of the BBC’s most talented journalists,” reported the Guardian. She has apparently tried to work this through channels.
