Pathetic.

Their job is to find the best person for the job. Period.

I have a small stake in MSFT stock which I will be selling today. It ain't a good sign when the Board plays games with such an important decision.

So white guys should just self-identify as whatever skin color/gender/sexual preference the board needs to hire.

How can this not be against discrimination laws?

>>Pathetic.

The message is clear: Your personal efforts and capabilities are meaningless. Choose to be born the right color and sex (or change either/both) and how to work the system to exploit those.

Talent, ability and work ethic not needed.

The day microsoft hires a person of color or woman as CEO because of the person’s color or gender is the day I unload my microsoft stock. I am not interested in diversity of color. I am only interested in one color- green.

Intel tried this with Rene James along with BK.
The company may never recover from the damage

Big Mike XY is available. Leftist, black, angry, transexual. Perfect candidate for an affirmative action, figurehead job.

Microsoft board is looking for women and minorities for pool of candidates who could someday replace CEO Satya Nadella

Satya Nadella is a member of an ethnic minority, and he managed to make to the CEO spot without the Microsoft board going out of its way to look for women and minorities.

MS needs to get ahead of the curve and hire goats and chimps.

Will they pay me $235.00 a day like the Ukrainians did Biden? I have no experience either so I am well suited except my father is not currently in public office. Sadly, he’s dead. Maybe still voting Democrat though. Will that help?

How is this different from saying they would only hire a white male?

A company has only one job and that is to make money legally, ethically and morally for the stock holders.

Anything else is simply rubbish.

As a company declares its wokeness I sell the stock. Chevron was one of the first to go and I hated selling it at the time, the dividend was pretty good. Exxon still remains.

It gets harder all the time to stomach some of this virtue signaling crap.

There have been lots of male failures in the board room but I see a whole lot of female ones. Oxy is clinging to life because of a bad executive decision by one of the diversity candidates who was early destined for the executive suite. Once picked they are set up to succeed as a condition of employment for their superiors. Shameful and shameless.

The other level of exec insanity is the green movement by the euroweanie energy companies like BP, Shell, Total, Eni etc.
