Bellwether has a serious integrity problem and it starts at the top. I'm not sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing. The COO is going to run the organization into the ground with her questionable ethics and gaslighting. Some members of the leadership team and management are unqualified to lead. The Board of Directors needs to get on it and investigate.
You will not be safe here as an employee unless you are white. There is blatant disregard for your rights as an employee and the protections afforded by the EEOC. Bellwether and it's COO talk a big game about DEI. They will hire a diverse staff, but you will be held to different standards than their white employees. White employees will get promotions and huge raises while POC are overlooked or frozen out of their positions, especially if they opt not to be bootlickers. If they don't want you around anymore, but you haven't done anything wrong, they'll offer you money to leave quietly.
If they do promote a POC, they will not help you succeed. You will not actually be empowered to change anything. You will not get the support you need and when you inevitably fail, you'll be fired. They love you until they don't. When they decide they are done with you, they are done, even if you have a spotless performance record. POC, non-native English speakers, differently abled, and older employees make up the bulk of the front line onsite "boots on the ground" employees, yet are the lowest paid, least respected, and most frequently fired.
My advice to staff? UNIONIZE. Other housing groups in Seattle are unionized. Follow their foot steps. This is the only way you'll be protected. Then Bellwether will actually have to follow the law instead of deciding if and when it applies to them.
