How do you make it happen? Relying on people to "wake up every day and practice diverse hiring practices" wasn't working.

How do you make it happen? Relying on people to "wake up every day and practice diverse hiring practices" wasn't working.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoHow do you know its not working? Because there are statistical differences in outcomes between groups of people?
- deadbabe 2y agoIt starts by hiring people who share your values. Don’t hire scumbags, liars, racists, Neo-Nazis, etc. If someone demonstrates they don’t represent your company’s values, get rid of them or put them in non-decision making roles and keep an eye on them.
- surgical_fire 2y agoCompany values are bullshit. Corporations only care about making money, no matter the damage they cause in their profit-seeking motive. All else is fluff.
- mmooss 2y agoX doesn't seem too motivated to make money; Musk's decisions seem to pursue is values (power) and sacrifice revenue. It seems like Facebooks recent decisions may do the same.
- deadbabe 2y agoIf you don’t give a fuck about anything besides making money then why even pretend to care about diversity if you don’t have to? Seems like corporations will drop the mask in 2025.
- surgical_fire 2y agoBecause pretending to care costs very little, and gullible people fall for the "company values" talk.
- mmooss 2y agoYou think you're taking a side, but really you are taking the corporations side: By saying organizations and the people who run them have no morals, you've lowered the requirements and norms of organizations and humanity. It turns out people have morals - it's an intrinsic part of humanity, especially as social beings - and they can choose them and act on them, and they are responsible for doing so in any society. Somehow, you just let them off the hook.
- surgical_fire 2y agoIndividuals may have morals. Corporations have none. They only care about profits. That's why I support strong government regulation to rein in how corporations behave. I am not taking the side of corporations here. You are by believing in the fairy tale of "company values".
- adrr 2y agoIs this anecdotal or do you have source where hiring doesn’t match the pool of qualified candidates(Eg: recent CS degrees graduates)?
