Women are a nuisance, with long absences for child-bearing and time off to take care of needy children and harassment suits and distracting the male employees.

(I don’t feel that way, but we’re not far removed from that being a common sentiment.)
- dolni 5y agoWell certainly EVERYONE doesn't feel the way you have described. Are there companies out there who are hiring a bunch of women and kicking ass because of it? And if so, why hasn't that success story been told and started propagating in business circles?
- stale2002 5y ago> Are there companies out there There are absolutely lots of companies that have diversity and inclusion programs, and spend lots of money on these issues. If your metric of success is "What are the successful companies doing" then you have to admit that basically every major corperate environment these days, has diversity programs, so by your own definition, they are important.
- dolni 5y agoThey have diversity programs, they aren't trying to hire exclusively women because they are cheaper. Those are two different things. Also, nobody promotes diversity because diversity it reduces payroll costs. They do it because it allegedly produces better results.
- stale2002 5y ago> they have diversity programs Ok great. Then you agree that diversity programs are good and competitive. That is good enough of a concession to satisfy most people on this topic, no matter how you got to it! So that's the success story. You demanded a success story, and at the very least, this shows that diversity programs are good and do produce better results, because basically every successful company does then.
