Women and people of color have left Mailchimp in droves in recent months.
Those who spoke to Insider said Mailchimp has for years let toxic leaders thrive while failing to address inequalities.
More than 30 current and former employees told Insider why they think Mailchimp is driving away diverse talent.
On November 12, Mailchimp CEO Ben Chestnut sent a Slack message to his employees saying he wanted to acknowledge the elephant in the room. We ve had more people than usual leave the company lately, including some great leaders, he said in the message, which was viewed by Insider.
Those departures included many of Mailchimp s highest-ranking women and people of color. Since the start of 2020, Mailchimp has lost two female C-level executives, one female Chief Information Security Officer, one female vice president, and at least eight women or people of color at the director or senior director level.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â It s nearly one year since Breonna Taylor s death, and the University of Kentucky is reflecting on the whirlwind of racial tension sparked by the event and its mission to promote diversity and inclusion on its campus. As an institution, it s only been about 70 years that we ve been integrated and we need to remind ourselves of that, said UK spokesperson Jay Blanton. In that time though, we ve made some really significant progress. We now enroll and graduate more students of color than any other institution in the state and that s something to be proud of, but there are still gaps. There are still needs.

Spain has seen a huge influx of women into the workplace, but men and women’s experiences of work remain very different.
Claudia Hupkau and
Jenifer Ruiz-Valenzuela say there is scope for new family-friendly policies to help close labour market gender gaps and boost fertility rates.
Over the past 25 years, Spain has undergone a striking convergence between women’s and men’s participation in the labour market. While in the early 1990s only 50 women were active in the labour market for every 100 men, this had risen to 88 active women for every 100 active males by 2019. The rapid incorporation of women into the workforce has meant that the participation rate of women in Spain has now overtaken that in the European Union overall.

In the wake of this past summer’s mass protests and demonstrations following the killing of George Floyd, law schools across the country were inspired to offer their students new ways to respond to calls for racial justice and deal with decades of systemic inequity. One of America’s most elite law schools is now doing something that no other top school has done before by creating a
required course on racism and the law.
The University of Southern California Gould School of Law announced last month that a course entitled “Race, Racism and the Law” will be a graduation requirement for the class of 2024 and beyond. USC Gould is the first top 25 school to add a mandatory class like this to its curriculum.
