IPG posted a job listing on Monster.com, seeking a Diversity Management Director. Or a pimp, as Sanford Moore would insist. Most ridiculous is the final prerequisite: Successful championship of diversity and inclusion issues in corporate, non-profit and/or volunteer contexts. Why, someone with such credentials would fit in perfectly on Madison Avenue.
