Boston-based State Street plans to triple the number of minority staff in senior roles by 2023 and is using diverse hiring panels to do so. Under the policy, executives must show that they have made an effort to increase minority representation at the firm or face lower year-end bonuses, according to the Sunday Times, which reported that staff will have to receive “special permission” to hire white men.
Recruiters of middle management at State Street are now mandated to establish a panel consisting of four or five employees including a woman, and preferably a person of color, that will evaluate new hires. McNicholas said that while white men will still be hired, recruiters need to show that the panel interviewed a diverse slate of candidates.
In an email to the Washington Examiner, a State Street spokesperson denied the charge that special approval would be required to hire white men.
“Hiring managers do not need special approval to hire white men. This is factually incorrect,” the spokesperson said. “We are committed to diversity and inclusion and, as such, diverse panels of candidates. We hire the best candidate for the role."
State Street, which has pledged to hold itself “accountable for strengthening black and Latinx owned businesses,” has advocated for more women and minorities in the workplace in the past. It commissioned the “Fearless Girl” statue, which was unveiled to mark International Women’s Day in 2017.
The bronze figure, which features a young girl standing defiantly with her hands on her hips, was originally placed in front of the iconic “Charging Bull” statue, although it was later relocated to face the New York Stock Exchange after complaints from Arturo Di Modica, sculptor of the Charging Bull.

I thought them too but I thought they were still around, I knew Sun Trust went bye bye.
Is that legal?
They have been taught this in the schools for decades. Now the first wave of the brainwashed are at the top.
I see this “bank” has diversity targets for employment..
Why not diversity targets for loans?
A white feminist friend of mine is about to experience some karma - her unemployed son had a job interview at a college in a lily-white area and the all white hiring committee warned him that they are looking for “diversity.”
Might as well require them to hire based on shoe size.
THASS RACIST!
Left is putting whites as the new jews
Young folks are catching on to the scam—they are busy creating fake documentation of Native American or Hispanic grandparents.
As long as they stick to the same story over and over again they should be good to go....
If u bank with them, find another bank.
WOKE CEO's and Corporate Boards. That's where from.
The large, multi-national bank I work for all but says "WHITE GUYS DON'T EVEN BOTHER APPLYING OR THINKING OF GETTING AHEAD HERE!"
Thank Almighty God I'm near retirement age. 2 years to go and after that the bank can pay me my pension and kiss my lily white ass!
I thought it would be the large bank I work for since we actually have metrics showing how many blacks, black females, latina's, latino's, asians etc.. that were interviewed and hired instead of white men. (Not kidding! The bank I work for actually tracks the hiring of minorities that replaced white men who left the bank.)
Translation: white men need not apply!
I am an ex banker and I heard this SAME CRAP THIRTY YEARS AGO.
It never gets old for those promoting chaos and discontent, but it sure gets OLD for normal people. I never bought the boo-hoo professional moaners, complainers, and let’s face it lazy asses who never got ahead and NEVER DID THE WORK REQUIRED.
That’s Racist!!! You can bank on that!!!
Exactly!
But not only that: Bosses could bend over backwards, looking for equally-qualified minority hires, and earn their bonuses fairly. But that is not going to happen. Instead, they will take the easiest route and hire the first halfway decent-looking minority they can, thus securing their bonuses with a minimum of effort. And no one will dare call them out on it!

“Go woke, go broke.”
I wish. This is going to spread to other banks and corporations.
Big is not a friend of liberty.
I was in my local credit union today and they had a “POC” teen age bank teller. He couldn’t have been much more than 18. His cash drawer count was off and there was some sort of drama going on. He was dismissive of the incident to his supervisor who was investigating. He obviously belonged bagging groceries and not handling large amounts of cash in a bank.
The employees with talent are going to walk out the door. Which current employee wants to make less than the new minority hires the bank had to throw money at to join?
