socialistic workplace: Everything that happens has to happen as a group. All work has to be approved by everyone. Everyone works on everything and is responsible for everything.
Business managers at some point began thinking it was their job to destroy the individual professional. It is ridiculous, nothing gets done and no one can do anything. Imagine if a surgeon had to have a live feed of the operation and the entire hospital watched and told the surgeon they were doing it wrong. Imagine if the entire law firm came to the courthouse to sit behind the desk at a hearing, no one was in charge, everyone just spoke when they wanted, and every action was heavily attacked.
And something HN doesn't like to talk about: every hire has to be some sort of social case: handicapped, LGBTQ, under-represented minority, political refugee, or other.
75% of chief diversity officers are black women. There are virtually no other races represented.
Just some stupid stuff that started happening a few years ago.
- giantg2 6y agoDiversity quotas are definitely a factor in my demoralization. I've seen completely incompetent people be promoted because they meet the right diversity criteria. I was also surprised at how little tenure our CDO (chief diversity officer) has. I would love to hit the C-level in less than ten years at a large company. I was also interested to see what a CDO does. I couldn't find any internal resources or examples, but it seems like an easy job.
- one2know 6y agoCDO is a political officer assigned to the company who enforces social/political rules for corporations of a certain political persuasion. I think everyone can see that now. The social/political rules are not diverse, legal, or moral.
- giantg2 6y agoYeah, but what do they actually do? I'd love to get paid big money to do basically nothing.
- one2know 6y agoThey decide who can and can't have a job. Toe their political party line or you can't work or be in business, or get cancelled and lose your job. It's a political racket, same as if your corporation had a political officer in the USSR. It's troubling to see so many corporations have this position. These companies really showed their hand when they started a few years ago saying there are too many Asians, Asians weren't diverse, etc. Real problem is Asians usually are politically conservative and that is not OK with CDO's.
- one2know 6y agoMechanically, CDO's get review of every new hire in a company and can veto candidates. They also exfiltrate corporate money by scheduling periodic diversity training with third party political organizations that bill in the tens to hundreds of thousands per session.
- giantg2 6y agoBut the CDO doesn't actually carry out any of that. They just tell the people under them to follow the policies they set. It sounds like you get to sit around, make policies, tell your people to make sure everyone follows them, and make big money.
