A pink-haired DEI trainer has slammed Oregon's forestry department for hiring on the basic of merit rather than identity.
Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'
DEI advocates like Donecker say hiring should be done through an 'intersectional lens' whereby applications from marginalized people are given greater weight.
Shaw, who earns $192,000-a-year as deputy head of Oregon's Department of Forestry, has been put on leave over Donecker's complaint.
Donecker, who worked as the department's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chief claimed six queer staffers didn't 'feel safe or comfortable' at work because they could not have 'conversation around pronouns.'
The tattooed Salem resident describes herself as an 'accomplice to marginalized communities.' Her complaint is one of several from employees that the department amounts to an 'old boys' club.'
Since standing down from her role at the forestry department, she's continued working as a DEI consultant.
Oregon has been roiled by culture wars between progressives in such liberal cities as Portland, and conservatives, including residents of the state's rural areas, who want to break away and join Idaho.
'It is bad for women at forestry,' Donecker said in an interview. 'It is even worse if you are queer.'
Brenda McComb, vice chair of the Oregon Board of Forestry, said officials had done little to grow 'diversity representation' among its workforce or advisory committees and were not implementing a 'draft diversity plan.'
'If progress is being made, it is not apparent to me, and if it is not apparent to me, then it is not apparent to other members of the public,'
'I am exhausted from being stone-walled on this issue by the agency and their unwillingness to consider this a priority,'

DEI - Did Eat It
None of this is about being productive workers. It’s all about race, gender, and pronouns. And we’re letting it happen unabated.
I hope the least accomplished med student on earth is designated to do her ‘brain surgery’, if it comes to that!!
“’I am exhausted from being stone-walled on this issue by the agency and their unwillingness to consider this a priority,’”
DEI is a priority. Climate change is a priority. Abortion is a priority.
Looks like a regular old choker setter or busheler. Should fit right in on any logging show.
DEI excludes normal White People
Oregon’s Department of Forestry is about to be flushed down the DEI Toilet
This takes the DEI mentality to a whole new level.
Sure. Let’s have the gals run everything.
Hey Megan, Monty Python were a comedy group. COMEDY, get it?
Their lumberjack skit was a JOKE, not something to be accomplished in real life.
She would benefit from working a firetower and having to climb 4 or 5-story stairs a couple times a day.
Lunatics running the asylum.

DEI before all else - progressive manifesto.
What this idiot doesn’t realize is that when the real world hits us in the face and we are fighting for our survival, some general’s right to wear panties, or someones preferred type of sex, will become unimportant.
The real world has existed for thousands of years... the whole existence of humanity. Only the past 30 years or so in the US, have we had the luxury and free time to come up with stupid ideas like this and many others.
All of the flailing about will be gone and we will focus on the basics — survival.
Amazing how the young and stupid think illegal discrimination becomes OK if you rename it.
Drop her in the woods and let a bear eat her.
