That seems highly illegal. I’m not sure I believe that.

You don’t have to believe, I read the whole goddamned linked “article”, and parent misrepresented even that. There was a VP that approved promotions, but no particular requirement just for straight white males. That’s just one example of parent’s BS. They got other stuff from the link wrong, too.

  Straight white males are the only “non-diverse” demographic. So they aren’t mentioned specifically in diversity quotas, of course. But if you hire too many of them, you can kiss some part of your bonus goodbye on account of not meeting quotas. How this is legal IDK

Yeah, because it’s bullshit. How would you even know the candidate’s sexual orientation? Even the article they link doesn’t say that, and mentions multiple times that there were no quotas. The most it says is “it seemed it would make HR happy” which as an interviewer I don’t know why I would give a shit about. Other than asks to throw another random candidate in the loop, which happens all the time for all sort of reasons, there is no more “push” because yeah that would be illegal. If you think that an increase from 6.5% to 7% in Hispanic employees or from 28.6% to 29.7% in women is all driven by requiring exec approval for straight white men, then you’re delusional.
