This is DEI at work. My BIL who happens to be a white guy, was the show runner for not one but two Animated Disney Series. Not even a phone call from Disney when the contract was up on the last one.
The best his agent for decades has been able to do for him is get him a staff writer job. Dude is a brilliant Executive Producer, works his ass off to make his shows great, decades of experience, 20+ writing credits on his IMDB profile (tons of merit in his resume) and this is now his reality. Uncredited staff writer.
- KerrAvon 3y ago“Random white guy got laid off” does not automatically mean “he was fired because he wasn’t black.”
- IE6 3y agocurious your POV of the situation where someone who doesn't look like you gets laid off, still DEI at work or ???
- RichardCA 3y agoIf you check the Glassdoor page for WDAS you will see that situations like that are the norm. Occam's Razor is satisfied without the need to stand up a DEI strawman. But I'm still sorry about your BIL. I have friends who have met similar fates, sometimes with great loss up to and including divorce / breaking up of families, and exacerbated stress leading to severe medical issues. It's normal in the Los Angeles technical job market to know someone who has been through something like that.
