Yup. Hire people who devolve into professional Web surfers. It’s cheaper than the lawsuit. That is not to say that there aren’t talented people of every race/gender/religion. But when you are forced to hire people primarily on that basis, you’re going to make a lot of bad hiring decisions.
Diversity hiring means hiring people that the others will have to compensate and pick up the slack so that the employers can satisfy the PC requirements of idiotic Federal laws.
Something else I've noticed is that "workplace diversity" has resulted in many situations where an employer basically has a two-tier system of employees: the ones who get their on merit and connections, and the "diversity pool" of all the others. What ends up happening is that the diversity pool groups simply end up competing with each other for positions in that pool.
Consider an employer, for example, that institutes an unwritten rule where 30% of the employees will come from the groups that make up the "diversity pool." This just means that the various racial/ethnic/gender groups that make up that 30% succeed at the expense of others -- but only at the expense of other racial/ethnic/gender groups in the diversity pool.
This is why I predict that inter-group strife between various protected classes is going to end up bringing the whole charade to an end.
I worked for a chemical company and used to do Osha training and walk throughs for large companies. Made sure everything used had the correct signage, labels, etc. The companies appreciated it because it helped them avoid fines. The bottom line is always money.
Think about it ...
The EEOC walks into a major U.S. corporation where 99% of the employees are white males, and it looks like a clear violation until the HR director says: "Oh, not at all ... we are very diverse. 25% of those white males call themselves women, and another 25% call themselves homosexuals."
>I also have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of companies are jumping fully on board with these “protected class” designations that rely entirely on a person’s own self-identification. There’s no verification of it, so the employer can start to reduce their minority composition while bolstering the numbers of their protected groups.

The moment this becomes the norm I’m going to list myself as a gay trans/racial/gender black women who is Islamic-curious.
Comrade, is your former collective in the retail sector wherein I may avoid
offending them by not expending my running dog capitalist lucre on
their products?
Diversity is destructive because it:
-excludes some for the unearned, undeserved benefit of others
-creates a parasitic entitlement mentality among women and minorities
-fuels and exacerbates resentment, divisiveness, and group warfare
-lowers the standards for the entire society by rejecting quality and merit as standards of evaluation
False premises?
And what would be an example of "rightful blame" based on whiteness alone?
Rightful blame has no assignation of color of the sole impetus. You should know this. Right and wrong have no color.
Diversity programs fail because diverse is a description, not a virtue.
It can be truly aggravating when a hired peon (moi and others) can point out actual problems and get ignored but BS from OSHA or your own business
is slavishly adhered to.
As a lowly blue collar serf I was one who was especially galled by that.
The last three occasions when out of town safety inspectors strutted up to
me and queried me on safety I answered and then brought up real
safety questions and started interrogating THEM. That was really fun.
I worked on the last one for 20 minutes. After that I later found out that
the bosses warned them to avoid me.
They left me alone for my last 14 years. :<}
It’s how my mother in love did it. Came to the US as a teen from Italy, worked in a sweatshop,taught herself English, married an Italian American, raised a family, lives in a nice house, contributes to her community...........never took a handout.
Believe me, if someone brings up a safety issue, I do my best to find a fix for it. If something happens that I should have caught, but didn’t, then I am in trouble. Plus, if someone is injured or killed, that is really bad.
Once, I opened up a lab refrigerator and found a bottle of ether in it. The refrigerator was not rated for flammable chemical storage. I was a little upset—there is a real potential for explosion in that situation. We bought a new flammable liquids storage rated refrigerator for that lab and everything turned out fine.
Refrigerators that have exploded because flammable liquids have been placed in them make for very dramatic pictures for safety briefings. I never show pictures of injured people, just equipment. People can use their own imaginations from there.

Sadly, no. Big accounting/consulting firm.
