I read that as DEI hires… 10 PMs for every engineer. The blood suckling corp I’m trying to exit has entire departments (plural!) of women, gay men, and poc that do nothing of real value. But the CDO really wanted to get all these “minorities” into tech! They run meetings with each other constantly and pass project status power points around like they are critical for the business to function. … The glass eye refers to their complete lack of knowledge of any technology.
I’ve been flat out told we can’t hire a white guy as our VP in tech despite the stack of 200 candidates leaving us with mostly unqualified folks. I’ve straight up heard other directors say shit like this as well.
Instead of tackling root causes we are making unqualified pity hires instead of giving those family food and childcare assistance.
The way we “help” now you piss off white people because they are being actively discriminated against , people are put into roles they would have never won, and typically the most educated will be the recipient of aid will benefit instead of those that need that help more. It’s a bad system.
Racist, misogynist, xenophobic, bigoted, made-up story about a company hiring women+minorities into dedicated departments which then don’t do any work
They must have a lot of departments full of white, straight men to compensate, otherwise the company would surely go under. /s
edit: before anyone thinks I actually meant this seriously…I was reacting to a ridiculously bigoted comment by some troll (I know…I shouldn’t have reacted) claiming their company had entire departments full of women+minorities not doing any work. The comment no longer exists of course. I

Workers: “our bosses are inept”
You: “the gays are making their lives worse!”
This is what Fox News does to people’s brains. Truly sickening.
Don’t forget the misogynistic and racist component of his comment.
Yeah, those are just as bad. I simply didn’t want to waste more brain power on this individual than absolutely necessary to make my point.
Meh, DEI hires are real and they suck.

So we should stick with the institutional racism that’s persisted for centuries because you have a problem with the negros and women?
If you’re not a troll, this should be your ok boomer moment.
Say you’re racist without saying your racist speedrun
My company had a big diversity push, but it worked well for us, and ended up making it a much more pleasant to work.
Are you sure those are DEI hires, or just the kind of people your co-workers want to be around?
