Companies have been tripping over themselves to hire from "marginalized" communities for years now. At this point it's a handicap. At my tiny startup people are overtly talking about not hiring any more "white guys". Which is offensively discriminatory.
Same for colleges by the way, more likely to accept and graduate minorities. In this blind push for equity, white men are being deliberately left behind.
- giantg2 5y agoSimilar situation here. I've been in a staff meeting where the principle openly told the managers that they needed to place females into specific roles.
- Mezzie 5y agoThat's so insulting, as a female. If I found out I got any job or role due to my genitals, I'm immediately quitting because that's a terrible way to run a company. For so many reasons.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoThen you'll "love" my EU country that suddenly turned woke on hiring, as many tech jobs say they will prioritize hiring females over males provided equal competency levels, in order to fix gander equality.
- Mezzie 5y agoUgh. Setting aside the moral questions, I just can't get over how that solution COMPLETELY IGNORES all the variables that might result in differing competencies and applicant pools. Which is what I think bugs me the most about the intellectually lazy wokedom: Stop taking genuinely interesting, nuanced problems and making them boring!
- pinephoneguy 5y agoRecently we were forced to watch an "ethics" video that essentially told everyone "picking White men for your team is wrong, don't do that." I guess now that Whites are becoming minorities in most of their countries the bigotry is going the other way.
