Because if you're not very publicly and loudly checking off all the DEI boxes, you're just hiring a bunch of white cisgender heterosexual men. This isn't just defcon, this is how every company acts these days.

- consp 2y agoUsually inclusive hires are forced because they have a lower chance of getting though a normal process. If it was an actual level playing field this would not matter but it isn't, and it's not even close. The goal is for those policies to make themselves obsolete (at least where I live there is always a clear cutoff point where they should stop)
