And of course, his job at a major local airline? Diversity trainer!
The "Diversity Trainer" at one of my former companies cost us our top network engineer. We all worked together for years before we got outsourced to a large technical company. He happened to be the only black guy that showed up to some new-hire Indoctrination (I mean education...) session, and got singled out by the "Trainer".
Guy was so mad that he could barely speak....said "Did you notice that I was the only black guy in the room before she pointed me out?" nope. "Did you notice that I'm the only black guy in the room, now?" yup. "I've worked for years to be seen as a top engineer, not as a black engineer and that (witch) ruined it in 10 seconds!"
Put his notice in the next day. I imagine he's retired, now, he was a former nuc in the Navy and I doubt he needed to work....the guy designed Cisco networks for a hobby and basically got paid to travel all over the world to do what he'd be doing for fun, anyway.
I may need to retract my previous comment about Training/HR being a fluffy job that doesn't do any damage. :-) Of course, this particular company didn't want high paid engineers, they wanted low paid robots that didn't ask inconvenient questions, so this guy would have been gone soon anyway. Perhaps this lady's comments were by design? More likely, she was just an idiot.
