A diversity program is inherently political, as you said. I don't think it has a place in a company. Again, I think leave your politics at home. You seem to think that's not possible, but that's how I would do things, were it up to me.
It's got nothing to do with men's or women's rights. I'm dismayed by that whole argument. Let the meritocracy rule and the chips fall where they may.
- wpietri 7y agoNot having a diversity program is also political. The concept of meritocracy is political. Claiming that the things fitting with your political biases are non-political is political.
- eloff 7y agoIf that's the case everything is political. I'm not sure I accept that. What I want to say is I don't care about left or right or the agendas of either. Focus on the product, the customers, and the fight. Alexander the Great never had a diversity program. I'm not going to say he was the pinnacle of morality here, but maybe it's a good idea to focus on the important things if you want to be successful.
- wpietri 7y agoWanting to ignore America's long history of sexism and racism is a political position. Wanting to ignore the effects of those is a political position. Your contributions here are political activism. If you want to be a reactionary, fine. But please own it.
