I was trying to describe to my doctor who in his office had last done a test on me. Since there were so few white guys I described him as white. The doctor said, “Well, that had to be Ben. We haven’t had a white guy working here in two years.” On the way out I realized that, except the doctor, all of the staff were black. There was one exception and I’d say from the swish, and the fact he was Hispanic, he was hired to tick another diversity square.
Look at the commercials on YouTube. Try to count the white males. If they are there they are playing the role of idiots being lectured on the product or service by someone who ticks at least one of the diversity boxes. Or, they are the silent “husband” of someone ticking another box.
While it must be great if you’re black or “other” imagine how hard it must be to get a job for whites just out of high school.
A VP for ITT told us she’d prefer to hire someone out of prison because they need a break. I asked, “What about the guy who has kept his nose clean his whole life and he needs a job. Doesn’t he deserve an equal break?” She colored up and I got kicked under the table by my boss. My boss stepped in and changed the subject.
I can tell you from having been there, what you can do for the company and your various accomplishments are not as important as your diversity.
I have noticed many ad’s.... the people are mostly black and brown now
We are remodeling...I was looking at lights from a company..
Up front on their web page was “diversity and inclusion”...
I emailed them and said I would not be buying from them for THAT reason...
So sick of this crap.
