> DEI folks are getting exactly what they want in the end anyway.
serious question: what do they want exactly? give money to disadvantaged folks? give them training? check quota boxes? do they personally care?
- busterarm 4y agoA staff that is both dependent on and united by having the same, consistent politics throughout the company (and all companies). More eloquently put by this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33053801 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33053801
- pas 4y agowow. that's ... so foreign to everything that I could imagine. (I'm from Europe, never worked at a big company.) How does this allegiance manifests in these "diversity hires"? Do you have some experience with this? Could you explain this somehow?
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoI think actual diversity hires are a different thing and the parent post is more about demanding tribal allegiance in the non-diverse hires.
- busterarm 4y agoThis exactly.
- giardini 4y agoSo these individuals are like potential spies inside the organization? To whom would they report? I've seen a considerable number of people hired who seemed to have no productivity but the idea that they might have a reporting function outside the usual "chain-of-command" (e.g., like communist party political officers in the military) never occurred to me.
