No excerpt allowed from Bloomberg, story here.
From where I sit in corporate jobs I see a lot of Asian and Indian people.
There are no data that quotas have helped any women beyond the undeserving who had thumbs on the scales to get them on boards.
If women were to work as hard as men they would have representation. Period.
We’re going to mandate racial discrimination to fix racial discrimination?
That’s a great idea. :D
There are likely not enough qualified candidates to fill this amount of slots. There’s a reason Mexico and Zimbabwe don’t have space programs.
All the way through, from acceptance into and graduation from top schools while never mastering the work—straight to the boardroom.
Same thing with NFL head coaches - if they were qualified, they’d be hired.
I am convinced AI is going to make it very high into the corporate suite—a lot quicker than people think.
Affirmative action will just accelerate the process—the less people you have, the less AA deadwood you have.
We’ve got quite a few where I work oh my God what a disaster of incompetents some graduated from Harvard unreal and now all the emails are about racism
Good one!
Between the emails from the top execs in the C-suite to the litany of conference calls and Zoom meetings to address "systemic racism" and "societal inequities" and other "calls to action", it has become ridiculous.
I have simply avoided the company-wide self-flagellation sessions, but I had to attend a zoom meeting called by a higher-up with my immediate team of about 15 people.
I felt for the manager who had to call the meeting and hit all of the talking points, but I had to really bite my tongue on a few things that were simply statistically false.
The standard tropes about the "honest dialogue" we need to have (which is is really just an echo chamber) were on full display. Anyone who does not simply agree with the perpetually aggrieved is "wished into the cornfield".
It was all about 'systemic racism' and how white males need to realize that we are "privileged", with no mention of black on black crime, or 70% of black kids with no father figure.
Despite this being sold as a "discussion" forum; any attempt to bring data, statistics, logic or reason in the discussion would have been career suicide. Corporations are spineless, but in today's environment, this has sunk to a new level.
I just need to hang in for a few more years if possible, and it is easier to bite the bullet while working from home, but I can't imagine what kind of over the top virtue signaling will be on display and required once we return to the office.
No matter how many token hires are made to meet the quota mentioned in the article; it will never be enough in the eyes of the mob.
Corporations love diversity and inclusion. They should just go grab random people off the street and offer them six-figure jobs to get the right mix of designated victimized and oppressed representatives.
Watch out for that whiteness glare. It can blind you.
Some people are woke. I’m awake. I’m a white person who has been awakened to the reality that no matter how many pounds of flesh I give, it will never be enough to appease the left and the race-baiters.
I am going to focus on my self-respect, stand by the truth and work for my independence from this depraved society.
A lot of that where I work, too.
Anyone who has stood in line at the DMV and thinks this is a good idea is nuts.
And we tried like hell to get even semi qualified blacks and Latinos in. Failure far more than success. Markets are color blind and they eventually squeeze out the inefficient.
Quotas will not happen any more in the executive/managerial suites or boardrooms than they will in the nba or nfl
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
If women were to work as hard as men they would have representation. Period.
So I'm sure you have data for your assertion, right?
I learned that a long time ago
