He literally drove them insane. The Democrat Party is in big trouble right now. Everyone knows that their far left policies are not supported by the American public, but they have no way to stop themselves. Extremists are entrenched with an all levels of leadership in the party. There’s going to have to be a massive purge in order for the party to turn itself around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 1,215 Posted March 5 4 hours ago, Ron_Artest said: The irony here is that your opinion is inaccurate and "programmed" into you by your influencers. Have you ever been part of a DEI program? Ever talked to anyone who has? Of course not. It's not about putting down white males. It's not about lowering standards. This is fear mongering. I understand as a white male you feel threatened but as humans we should be lifting up all people. Lets put this on the second page so Ron can see it. Have you? Because it does not sound like it. I certainly have been part of MULTIPLE DEI programs. DEI is another way of saying "no straight white males". I have been an IT recruiter for going on 11 years now and in that time among other things I have been instructed to find people who "do not look like me" from a female latina hiring manager. She made sure to circle her face and point to her skin on the call while talking to me to really force home the message she was saying. I then had to go reject perfectly qualified white men so I could hire a woman with less experience. I have had a recruiter tell me at the job I applied for "you are not going to get this. I am just being honest. We hit our quota for white males this year in February." I have been passed over for female coworkers that have done NOTHING to help the company while I was a top performer. Ya wanna know the craziest part is that DEI gave them the authority to say these things out loud and do these things without repercussions. I have worked at large tech firms that every single one of you know. This type of shitt has been going on behind the scenes for a while but was kicked into high gear by Biden. If you are not behind the scenes in hiring, do not speak as though you know what you're talking about. DEI is Affirmative action repackaged. The way that DEI is applied means that EVERYONE gets a hand up except a white male. Instead of a hand up they get pushed down. That is literally the point of DEI. To hold back straight white males while elevating everyone else. You do not even understand the concept of what is going on. YOU are the one who has been programmed by MSNBC, the MSM and NPR. They have you convinced that DEI is not racim when it clearly is. Sheep. I am working at an agency now and THE BEST thing about filling those positions is they do not care at all what anyone looks like. They just want people that can do the job.

They should have walked out last night instead of wearing pink clothes and pretending to be at an auction. Oh, you think they need to be even more extreme.

I was going to just ignore this but if we really want a reply I'll give it to you... find people who "do not look like me" - I assume this is a typo and she wanted people who look like her. There is nothing wrong with that, that is what DEI programs are about. But that doesn't mean that you reject white candidates, it just means the pool is bigger. Also doesn't mean that the hiring manager hired someone unqualified. If don't know of anyone that would willingly hire an unqualified person because of skin color. I work in tech too, and I've heard people say similar. One guy who is Indian and has a team of mostly Indian males told the recruiter to find him some non indian males to get some diversity on the team. Is that racist? I am always looking to hire females where I can as I have a team of 15 with only 4 females. Quotas are illegal, no one would say that unless it was in jest. White males historically dominated the workforce. I have no issue with opening it up for others to have opportunities as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engorgeous George 2,124 Posted March 5 5 hours ago, Ron_Artest said: It was a joke you moron and a damned good one. Now I gotta explain it to you. For the last month we've heard from maga that women and people of color aren't qualified to work so they got rid of DEI programs that help these people in the workforce. Anytime something goes wrong where a woman or POC is involved the response is "DEI". So when they trot out a black kid and make him a secret service agent which he is obviously unqualified for, the joke is to call him DEI. Get it? You used to have a sense of humor. No, the jokes available there were to mistake the kid for Emmanuel Lewis or to riff on republican Presidents liking to give badges out, just like Nixon did with Elvis.

That is absurd to think that telling a recruiter to find someone that does not look like them is not racist. It is blatantly racist. She was not making the pool bigger. She was shrinking it to ONLY minorities and people like YOU who are ok with that are OK with racism. Just say it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None of the parties I attend have people making jokes about terminally ill children. It only happens in here, and it always comes from the same people. You’ve now belittled this sick child in two different threads. There’s some lines you just don’t cross. Like I said, probably the lowest point I’ve seen in these forums.

Your anecdotal evidence is noted. Of course it was illegal. DEI gave them the authority to do this and not be questioned about it. And yes. That is exactly what they were doing. YOU just do not want to hear it because it does not fit your narrative that DEI is not racism under a pretty new acronym. (spoilers. It is). Years of seeing the same thing from the internal hiring side is not anecdotal evidence, it is proof of a pattern from an insider you choose to ignore. You seem to be a manager. By the time your candidates got to you the HR department likely already applied DEI to the job search without you even having a clue. If they CAN find a DEI candidate they will. If not, then the "settle" for the most competent person. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you know as well as anyone else that corporate America can say that they didn't hire you because you didn't meet "requirements" without actually ever telling you what those requirements are. Can't get fired for being pregnant, but they can suddenly find you unproductive at work. You're acting as if this shiiite doesn't happen and it DOES. My work does it too. Of course they don't blatantly come out and say, "Well, I guess we have to hire you because you're black" they will use another reason that the white candidate wasn't hired. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,342 Posted March 5 A company I know literally had a policy that tied compensation to inclusion goals. you have 51% of a diverse team? Bigger bonus for you. Yes, it did happen. Yes they ended it just a bit ago...and it was publicly announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
