I work in FAANG, and they just this year added a new category to yearly performance reviews for inclusion and diversity. So now our promotions and raises are tied not only to the quality of code we write and how much we help our team's productivity, but also to how much we helped non-white people get hired on the team. I also have an inclusion training every 6 months that sounds very similar to yours.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoThey tell you that if you're being berated by an upset minority colleague you should "sit there in {your} shame"?
- wonderwonder 4y agoYou are going to focus on whether or not his trainings use the exact terminology as mine when all he said was "similar" and just skip over " how much we helped non-white people get hired on the team"? This is outright racial discrimination and should be illegal. His complaint is even more egregious than mine.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoWell yes friend, because as presented the accusations seem almost farcical, and to me seem like the result of some misunderstanding, intentional or not. I'm trying to focus on a single topic instead of looking for ways to get further incensed.

- wonderwonder 4y ago"the accusations seem almost farcical" Exactly! Yet they are the real lived experience we have to comply with in order to keep the jobs that provide the salary we use to feed our kids. That's why we are so against DEI as it stands today.
- goatlover 4y agoI don't understand why coders are supposed to be helping HR hire people. That seems like they've messed up job assignments or training with their push for diversity.
