A change like this is going to take decades.
Most CEOs have been in the workforce 25-30 years. They put their time in, and they understand the business. They have the trust of the BOD and the senior staff.
Look at middle to upper management, and you will start to see the inclusion of women and minorities. In another ten years, those people hired as college grads in the ‘90s will start to occupy the board room seats.
It is not institutional racism. It is economic survival.
I have no idea who runs my vendors whether they are black white male or female. I use them because they work. If they stop working, I’ll use someone else.
But then again, I am not a liberal, obsessed with race and gender.
If women are all like her they’ll get nowhere , who wants to talk to someone always their time of the month
Stopped right there.
Companies need the best and brightest at all levels - gender, color, beliefs and anything else are irrelevant and should never be a criteria for hiring / advancement.
Why work when you get paid to vote once every 2 or 4 years?
> Nobody argues against the fact that there needs to be diversity at the top of large companies
Really? Maybe among racists. All I care about is a person’s capabilities, their skin tone is not a factor.
I do. Why do we need 'diversity'?
but the Left is pushing for over-representation of minorities, and they make no bones about it.
Of course they are. They are out to destroy White Western Culture. It should be obvious except to all but the most oblivious. It never has been about 'equality'.
I do. Diversity is irrelevant when it comes to finding good corporate leadership. Entirely irrelevant. Completely. Utterly. Diversity should play *no* roll, none, in selecting leadership. Anyone, a-n-y-o-n-e, who thinks diversity needs to play a roll doesn't understand the function of business.
Typical black female with a chip on her shoulder?
My name is Nobody and I really don't care.
Diversity isn't a focus nor an issue near and dear other than the biodiversity of weeds in my yard and garden.
In life, both in business and in pleasure, I believe in merit-based freedom of association.
And, just looking at the world around me, I see that so does almost everyone else.
I guess that means we're all just a bunch of 'Nobody's to the purveyors of diversity, which explains the condescending attitude so common with post-pubescent arrested development.
Rosalind Brewer should write a book wherein she describes her journey to the top and distribute it throughout her corporation so everyone can learn how to be successful. Surely she would be proud to share with her underlings how she managed to climb the corporate ladder.
Its crap like hers that made Rhodesia and South Africa what they are today. The majority needs to rule.
“Nobody argues against the fact that there needs to be diversity at the top of large companies, “
I do!
Diversity means hiring less than the best just to be diverse.
It is a means for the stupid and incompetent to be artificially at the top.
Hire the best person for the job and quit whining about diversity.
Instead of all this diversity bs, she should do away with charging customers to shop there. Raise the price one cent on every item and they’ll more than recoup the price of membership as they’ll have more customers. I flat out refuse to shop there because I’m not about to pay someone for the privilege of walking in the front door. I don’t need to be part of the “club”. Hey, Rosie, you’re promoting discrimination.
*Nobody argues against the fact that there needs to be diversity at the top of large companies...*
Nonsense! Crap like this just makes me want to be a white male advocate that much more. We need MORE white males running things, hahaha
Isn’t it Ms Brewer’s job at Sam’s Club to get the best possible product/service at the best possible price?
Sam's Club's operating rules pretty much preclude the low class sort of criminal element from getting into their stores. By requiring people to be a "member" they filter out the bulk of those petty thieves that plague other stores, most of whom are black.
I suspect they have picked this Black Female with the chip on her shoulder to run the place as a means of further distancing themselves from the claim that they are deliberately filtering out mostly black clientele.
By letting her run it, (which let's face it, doesn't require much actual work or thinking now that it has been set up. ) they can defend themselves against an assertion that the whole business model is inherently discriminatory against blacks.
I've been suspecting this for awhile, and I see that the day to day operations of this company having been handed over to a black female as evidence in support of my theory.
