This is a really great idea.
Please consider adding value ranking.
For example, many people might value both meritocracy and diversity but valuing one more highly than another creates a completely different culture.
P.S. Please consider adding "meritocracy" as a value.
- slavapestov 9y agoYou can't really have one without the other. It's not really meritocracy if you're excluding a large portion of your candidate pool due to bias.
- alexryan 9y agoNot a logical statement. It is entirely possible to value merit over diversity.
- Consultant32452 9y agoI would submit that the two are in contention with one another.
- slavapestov 9y agoHow so? Like I said, a more inclusive workplace is about having a larger pool of candidates to draw from. I haven't seen anyone suggest that diversity is to be achieved by lowering hiring standards, that is a strawman.
- Consultant32452 9y agoOpening the pool to as many potential candidates as possible is not the same as taking an active role in making sure the people you bring on are actually diverse.
- aqme28 9y agoI really don't understand this meme. I've never seen a company where I felt like straight white males (myself being one of them) were excluded due to diversity initiatives. We're still pretty well-represented at even the most staunchly pro-diversity companies.
- alexryan 9y agoPersonally, I would prefer to work exclusively with those who value meritocracy more because diversity proponents are very often believers in the ideology of perpetual victimhood. As such they are always in conflict with everyone and generally suck the joy out of life. I find them intolerable and want to keep them as far away from me as possible.
- slavapestov 9y ago> Personally, I would prefer to work exclusively with those who value meritocracy more because diversity proponents are very often believers in the ideology of perpetual victimhood. I think you're projecting. The only displays of victimhood I've seen in this context is from white males who (incorrectly) believe that an increased focus on diversity means they are somehow being discriminated against. If you create value for your employer and can demonstrate a minimum level of competence when it comes to technical and people skills you really have nothing to fear from diversity. It is ridiculous that this even needs to be pointed out.
- alexryan 9y agoDiversity is a smoke screen that sjws use to seize power for themselves and inflict their ideology on the organization with their codes of conduct with prohibitions against microaggressions and unconscious bias like they have at google. You're not fooling anyone anymore. The ideology is just marxism with the white male as the new villain instead of the bourgeoisie. If you genuinely cared about diversity, James Damore would still be employed by google.

- josteink 9y ago> many people might value both meritocracy and diversity So you're saying let's use a site to find like-minded people... in the name of diversity? What? Is this just an elaborate joke or is there something I'm missing? (I'll be the first to admit leftist-diversity logic often eludes me)
- humanrebar 9y agoIt's a bit of tangent here, but one of the contentions in the controversial Google memo was that "diversity" meant something specific in Google culture that wasn't what Damore understood to be diversity. With that in mind, it's a controversial value, at least for the time being, but it probably serves the goal of communicating how a company comes down on these sorts of issues.
