Good.
Their ambition frequently outweighs their ability, competence and contribution to the company or project goals. “Self-esteem” needs to have backup accomplishments!
These issues roots go back to social promotion and affirmative action in schools; when you have an unofficial two-tiered system of diplomas/degrees, then you have to maintain the charade by treating them as equal in the corporate world - so illiterate tokens with a third-grade education receive high school diplomas, and semi-literate tokens with sixth-grade educations receive bachelors degrees. They finish “playing school” and are basically unemployable for anything but unskilled or low-skilled work, so the gubmint through threat of lawsuits simply forces employers to take them on (after hiring as many of them as the gubmint itself possibly can while still functioning with “real” workers). Once they are hired, those fake degrees/diplomas have to be acknowledged as valid in terms of compensation with “real” worker peers - merit/capabilities play no role in it anymore.
The mass trafficking of Hispanics has provided a viable work-around for many employers; at some point they’ll be removed from the “preferred minority” hiring category. Blacks already want white women removed, citing no real “disadvantage” at all.
Yesterday I cancelled our T-Mobile account. When the (black) rep asked why, I said we didn’t want to support a racist company.
She said, “We’re not racist”, and I told her their current commercial says otherwise, discriminating against other races while lifting up just one. One entire commercial dedicated to them supporting pro-black causes, including paying for their education. I told her there’s no way we’ll support that. We believe in equality and diversity.
Thank You.
I did the same to Sam's when (then)CEO Rosalind Brewer said that to many White men worked there and that she'd fix that.(or something close)
