It’s obvious that their mag most certainly is not written by merit-based employees.

Leftists (like these so-called “researchers”) think that negroes are stupid little monkey children who can’t make it on their own. The depth and breadth of racial bigotry on the left is absolutely astonishing.

The Left says that it’s exceedingly unfair that both employees attended college, but one was high-performing while the other struggled to show he wasn’t able to handle more responsibilities. But Darwinism, on the other hand, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual’s ability to compete, survive, and reproduce, is the absolute gospel and must be accepted without question...

American Psychological Association is Psycho. Certainly discrimination is wrong, and thus discrimination against the most mature, able and compatible workers is wrong, and favoring racial/ethnic aspects over character, ability and compatibility actually fosters the manner of culture which produces faulty character and ability aspects.

Researchers at the American Psychological Association can be said to have SHRUNK to extreme wokeness.

“Researchers at the American Psychological Association are now claiming that socioeconomic disparities should be the focus when seeking potential employees.”

example 1:

Question: Do you know how to pilot a Boeing 747?

Answer: No. I’ve never piloted any kind of airplane in my life.

Question: Are you an ethnic on welfare?

Answer: Yes.

Congratulations, you’re hired ... you start tomorrow on the LA to NYC run ...

example 2:

Question: How much brain surgery have you done?

Answer: None. I don’t even have a medical degree.

Question: Are you an ethnic on welfare?

Answer: Yes.

Congratulations, you’re hired ... there’s a guy with a brain tumor in the operating room right now waiting for a brain surgeon ... go take it out ...

APA can stuff it. As an employer, you hire the best and brightest to perform as part of your organization. You don't intentionally hire substandard, poor performing or troublemakers. The whole DEI concept biases hiring criteria against white, heterosexual candidates whose credentials would win on a merit based evaluation.

So if promoting a somewhat less capable candidate is virtuous, wouldn’t promoting a blithering idiot be even better?
I guess this works only in Democratic politics.

Well, if merit-based hiring is not OK, then I want a high-paying contract at a Major League Baseball club or an NBA basketball team. I promise I'll work hard.

Yup—reminds me of some brutal job interviews I used to have in the old days in my industry.

The senior exec would explain some ridiculously complex issue they had and then say “How would you deal with this?”

This was a trick to steal good ideas whether they made you an offer or not—you wanted to tell them enough to impress them but not enough so they could implement the plan without you.

The American Psychological Association claims merit-based hiring is UNFAIR in new study, finding that persons under 5' 8'' are underrepresented in the NBA, as are biological females in the NHL and NFL, as are obese persons in professional track and field.

The Association accused the organizations of exhibiting phobias - including achondroplasiaphobia, gynophobia fatphobia - and demanded a reform of hiring practices and rules of play in order to combat inequality.

The APA asserted that members of marginalized groups in these respective areas tend to experience socioeconomic disadvantages more often than members of privileged groups. And that employees poor performance in each respective sport was 'probably a consequence of having less work-related experience' due to systemic discrimination in each sport.

The NBA, NHL and NFL have not yet responded, but the International Olympic Committee is considering means of inclusion

Homosexuals took it over in the early 1970s IIRC.

The study comes as some Republican leaders are pushing back against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives (DEI) at public universities and in state government.


There is always good news if you look for it.............

“This was a trick to steal good ideas whether they made you an offer or not—you wanted to tell them enough to impress them but not enough so they could implement the plan without you.”

unless i was desperately wanting that job, i think i’d be tempted to say: “Very interesting problem. I can think of several approaches off the top of my head, and with more time i believe i could refine some of those ideas, but you’ll have to hire me to find out what they are.”
