I think it's super hypocritical to be well paid a company while also trash talking them on Twitter. I wouldn't call that being outspoken.

- CydeWeys 5y agoMy intent with saying "Regardless of who you think was in the wrong there" was precisely NOT to re-litigate the entire saga (that's old and played out here). Regardless of who you think was wrong, it had a big effect on black employees' perceptions of their employer.
- curiousgal 5y agoNot necessarily, you'd probably be surprised that many black employees don't really care about this whole ordeal or affirmative action in general. Which is understandable; if you're confident in your skill set and take pride in your work, the last thing you want to hear is "we hired you for diversity reasons".
- sidlls 5y agoOn some black employees' perceptions. This is hard for people new to working and living alongside minorities in America, but these are individuals and not a monolithic group. Identity politics is dangerous because the loudest mouths on the issue are definitely not representative of any whole group. And yet culturally we're demanded to see things their way to an increasing and alarming degree.
- vmception 5y agoOne look at Blind app and you get to see just how out of touch tech employees are about people that don't look like them Seems very pervasive to have a heavily distorted view of black people What I most commonly see, on Blind, is people assuming that black people - mostly US citizens their entire lives - have a completely different culture that has to be tolerated, as opposed to a mostly shared American culture Its kind of weird
