I didnt call you a liar, I am claiming that people are not always truthful to themselves. Purposeful ignorance is an easy out.
For example, you made a factually incorrect claim about blind hiring, and its considerably easier to ignore that since addressing it devastates your larger point.
- ryandrake 2y agoHe told you something he personally did/witnessed, and you replied with "not true." I'm not sure how else he should have interpreted that.
- aydyn 2y agoI think he truly believes it, but given the totality of his post it's very likely wrong. I'm not saying he is lying or a liar. Again: > blind reviews where you can’t see the name or details of the applicant (to minimise subconscious bias). Its been shown that doing so _increases_ the amount of non-minority candidates selected, not the other way around.
- ryandrake 2y agoI've done hundreds of interviews and have also never been asked to raise or lower any bar based on the gender or race of the candidate. Would you say my statement is "not true"?
- aydyn 2y agoIn a vacuum I wouldn't make a conjecture. Given the current subject matter I would ask for clarification. For example, is one of your personal goals OR corporate goals within those hundreds of interviews to promote DEI?
