It wasn't even disclosure. The person that said it wasn't involved in hiring if I understand correctly, but basically didn't like the person and thought they were unqualified, and said that.
I guess what I'm saying is when there's even a feeling that there is a system that is diversity over merit, people will assume that people they don't like who are minorities, are somehow less able to do their job, even when that's not the case.
- tracker1 9y agoSo having diversity metrics, and hiring based on diversity over merit will correct this how? In your example was the person in question hired because of their sex or race?
- cbanek 9y agoI never said I believe in hiring based on diversity over merit, but I also don't mind looking for candidates in different places. I don't believe the person was hired because of their sex or race. But again, even here, all minorites have to prove it, while the majority are assumed to be there on merit.
- tracker1 9y agoAs someone without a formal education working with peers that have PhDs, there are lots of things one has to overcome in terms of perception in a given role. The majority of my coworkers for the past several years have not been white; however, most have been men (about 1:6 to 1:4 or so)
