Welcome to BCO! I know we all look forward to hearing your answers. Coming from a corporate world of 25+ years, and in the role of a professional, I can safely say the company where I worked made great strides in equalization up to a point. That's where the "good old boys" network was took over and when I left the company this year, (or they left me, downsizing) it was still alive and well. Sad. But true. And this is an interntional, very large coporation.
