"Diversify Chief" makes me cringe a bit. Makes me think of the modern-day version of the "Political Commissar" - there to make sure that you're always towing the Party Line.
Not that I'm against diversity or anything, I just don't like how it's enforced as a goal unto itself.
- matt4077 10y agoYou'll be horrified to learn that many businesses also have "compliance officers". Because that sure sounds like an evil plan to enforce newspeak – if you manage to achieve a certain level of ignorance. It's also terrible (, terrible) how many companies are wasting money on "Quality Assurance", "Accounting", or "groundskeeping" when a business should actually be profit-driven. If only we could get out from under the yoke of political correctness. We'd give every employee the title of "profit maker".
- PopsiclePete 10y ago"Quality Assurance" and "Accounting" are directly tied to delivery a quality product or managing money and thus vital to a business. "Compliance officers" make sure you're not violating laws/trade agreements/what-have-you. "Diversity" is neither. It's nice to have it, sure, but it cannot be a goal unto itself.
