- 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.
