Sounds racist. And illegal?
- stainablesteel 2y agoyeah its super racist and illegal and somehow these companies keep doing it the ceo of ibm was on camera saying things exactly like this to everyone in the meeting, no idea where they get these ideas from
- greenthrow 2y agoIf they were really doing racist and illegal things they'd be getting sued. This "don't hire white men" thing only exists in the fever dreams of right wingers.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoThis is absolutely false. Speak to any higher level manager at big tech companies and you’ll hear the truth about various hiring and promotion programs that these companies never put in writing or talk about publicly. The reason these companies don’t get sued is those individuals are afraid of social and professional retaliation that may affect their careers, even though they’re on the right side of history.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoRacist and illegal yes. But common. All of FAANG use discriminatory quotas behind the scenes for promotion and hiring, and often the lower level employees have no idea because these actions are done quietly by individuals or only discussed in verbal meetings to leave no records. Individuals make decisions that are discriminatory because rewards for them (senior managers and executives) are based on quotas (diversity goals). For example, in a few of these companies you aren’t eligible for a senior promotion unless your team has certain minimums on protected traits.
