NPR story on DEI and how 2600 DEI workers have been fired
nobody replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
I interview a chick on zoom a while back. I could hear someone in the background trying to give her answers... And they were still bad. It was clear her resume was completely made up, and on top of that, she showed charts from her last job that had company proprietary information to show what she supposedly did (she clearly didn't do any of it because she couldn't answer a single question about it) When I rejected her as a candidate, HR called me to try to change my mind. Then my boss. Then HR again. Then I had to go to a meeting with HR and my boss. This shìt is comical. I literally said, "this candidate clearly lied about her qualifications, and it was easily the worst interview I've ever seen." HR reponse, "well are you sure we can't hire her?" I'm like wtf? -

Fock no. The c-suite is all about networking. And it's not just minorities and women. It's anyone who doesn't have the secret handshake. But the way it's addressed is broken. Two problems 1. As usual, the leadership team attached a metric to the goal, and as usual crappy managers managed to the metric instead of using the metric to help manage to the goal. By that I mean, instead of going back and saying, "we didn't hit our number because we didn't find the right candidates for the job," and then have the exec team help find candidates or help managers reset expectations if too high. They hire anyone with a pulse to hit the metric. 2. In typical sociopathic executive behavior, they try to solve a problem that exists with themselves by forcing the people below them to fix the problem as if it's with them. Like when a ceo gets caught lying or plagarizing or sexually harassing, all the employees have to take training. Like bro, you're the shìtbag that needs course correcting. Not us. As it pertains to hiring, managers just want work done. There probably is bias from all races and genders, but in general no one is passing up a quality candidate. Execs though. That shìt used to be a good ole boys club. You had to be cut from that cloth meaning white male with exec style hair and background to be in that world. So their sins as usual were projected onto the masses, and HR who is typically incompetent was giving this task to achieve "diversity" which of course was done in the most incompetent way. The right way to do it would be to have a paid internship to train people how to do the jobs and then hire them. You don't just go hire unqualified people that check a box which is what is happening. And I know you're going to say this isn't happening, but I interview people as part of my job. If I need to turn down a minority/women or god forbid a minority woman candidate I have to get interrogated on why, so I know exactly how it works. I'm in these rooms and I'm in these conversations. And I'm not an isolated case. -

The funny thing is they don't even know what diversity is. I'm an engineer. You know what valuable diversity is? I have an electrical engineer, let's add a mechanical engineer, a physicist and maybe a mathematician. That gives me a diverse set of perspectives and skills. The culture of the person means almost nothing in engineering. Maybe if I'm building a well in Siberia vs the desert, I may need someone who knows those climates. This is obvious shìt. But you idiots think diversity equals add black people and women. No one even articulates what specific diverse skill they're bringing, and you can't because if you say a black person looks at something different than a white person, well that's racist. The reason it's a grift is simple. Large corporations (that are good at least) don't make million dollar decisions on hand wavey BS. You have to quantify everything with facts and data. The whole thing is just to keep the race hustlers from coming after them. Always has been. -
Hot take of the day: being a security blanket isn't a good thing
nobody posted a topic in FFToday Board
We've all heard the term. It's usually referring to a tightend, and it's meant to mean a reliable target that the QB can go to when under duress or when he needs yards. The metaphor of a security blanket though is that a kid doesn't go anywhere without his security blanket. He uses it constantly. But guess what? Players described as security blankets are almost never relevant in fantasy. Furthermore, these supposed security blankets usually get like 60 targets. And I know some of you are reading this and are getting upset because you'd rather stare at a board full of read topics, so I'll summarize into a point which is this. If you see someone described as a security blanket, run the other way. It means they'll be a JAG. -

By the way, saying people should get equal outcomes is really dumb. People should get equal chances. Then let the best rise to the top. -

It is a grift. Race hustling has been around for a long time. Why do you think the change was made from equality to equity? equity implies something is owed. of course, you have to eat it right up. -

By early 2023, U.S. companies employed more than 20,000 people focused on DEI. That was more than double the number of such jobs five years earlier, according to Revelio Labs' analysis of 8.8 million employers. Lot more than 2600 were hired -
I don't think Kyler is inaccurate. It's more likely because Harrison can't run a route, he just ran to open space or was late instead of being where he's supposed to be on time. That's the other thing no one talks about when scouting receivers. He got lauded for route running and I think it's because Ohio state had such a good line, the QB could just wait until he found some space and then see him open and then throw. No anticipation required. That's another difference in the NFL. They throw anticipating that a receiver will be where they are supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. Good route runners find a way to not only create separation, but setup the DB so they create separation and get to where they are supposed to be on time. I learned that on josh palmer. I fell in love with his ability to create space. Then I'd watch herbert hit every other receiver on the team in the numbers on every throw and miss palmer by three yards. I realized palmer was just creating space by going where the DB wasn't. That of course isn't good enough. if you're supposed to run a 10 yard out and the DB has outside leverage, you need to make him give up his leverage in the beginning of the route by selling an inside break. You can't just turn the 10 yard out into a stop or an inside break which is what I think palmer was doing.

Women's sports are being jammed up. Before they started letting the transgenders in, you may recall there was a bit of a narrative that women were as good as men in sports to an extent. Recall McEnroe being raked for saying Serena Williams would be ranked like 270th. Or all the BS about wnba and women's soccer. Now we see what happens when average dudes compete with women. They just dominate.

The person said they prefer he/him pronouns for what it's worth. I don't call people who were obviously born biologically female by male pronouns though, so I'll just avoid using them in reference to squistion. -

Well it sounds like the person is transitioning. Could be hormones interfering with brain function. You never know what people are dealing with. -

That's why it's obvious this is a race grift. If the goal really was to save black lives, you'd of course attack the biggest source of black murders. But they're spotlighting the deaths that are almost as rare as being struck by lightning. It's so so so so so stupid, and people won't stop placating it. -

Embassy attempted bombing in Israel by American??
nobody replied to RaiderHaters Revenge's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah Europeans killed off almost the entire native American people. You can call them indians if you want of course, but it still happened. Just because some survived doesn't mean it wasn't genocide. How do you not know this? I thought that was common knowledge.
