Hiring only by merit is automatically inclusive and nonracist.
I don't like to be that guy but the forced diversity hiring is going to lead to a huge competency crisis and every systems falling apart long term in the west, we already see a huge downgrade in the quality of many services, video game, amazon package delivery (more and more damaged, opened, packages teared or literal theft has been increasing these past 6 years) no, i m not saying all diversity hires are this bad, but when you hire people blindly just because of colour there is a huge , huge fall off of everything in quality just because you will hire incompetent people over merit.
@@Tigerhearty Not a joke, but Washington state is eliminating the requirement for passing the bar exam to practice law in the state, specifically due to DEI (state's claim, not mine). Of course, Asian minorities are screwed over by DEI policies.
Merit hiring will result in a diverse workforce.
@@wickedbird1538 Merit hiring disproportionately affects those without merit and is therefore racist.
@@wickedbird1538😂 you’re right there - the level of competence will also be incredibly diverse!
Lost my job and promotion to a DEI hire, cheaper to pay a new hire than to promote after 3 years. bonus points if their education and immigration status is not verified
Are you in the U.S? Then they have broken the law here and you can sue them.
@@MegaCasperC Not necessarily. I've seen a company that got rid of a higher paid employee by eliminating their position (basically their job title) and hired a new employee a couple days later under a different job title at entry level pay. There was nothing wrong with the work the higher paid employee did for the almost 20 years they were there. It just saved the company money to hire someone at the lower pay. I know because I had to train that new person, who had a certificate, but no work experience. The CEO used to say that if an employee has been there over 5 years, they were there too long. The new person was assigned the exact same work the woman had been doing, but under a different job title and making less than half of what the former employee made. I left at around the 7 year mark when they said they could only give me a 10 cent raise because I was only 10 cents from the top of my pay scale even though they could have changed my job title to give me a bigger raise because they were having me train new employees in 2 different departments. I went and got job making almost twice what i was making there based on my experience. Companies sometimes do that because there is no loyalty to long time employees like there used to be.
They TOOK YER JERB!!! 😡😡😡
@@aeroprime3322Probably cant, since at will employment is a thing
@@aeroprime3322 Sure, and lose because USA business lawyers have unlawful firings down to a science. It's COMMON for people to be replaced a year or so before retirement. This story is no different, and fundamentally is no different than replacing staff with AI or robots or self checkout.
I think the black girl that said she was fine with getting hired because she was black is pretty pathetic Charlie Kirk was right when he said there is privilege based on skin color, but it's only if you're black
She'll be fired for incompetence soon enough.
@Bitter_Truth_Show thats when she sues for racist discrimination.
She knows it's a win/win.
I don’t think she’s taking sides. She doesn’t care. She just interviewed for a job that she wanted and got it. She didn’t set the rules for hiring. In a way, she was at the right place at the right time I felt the same way, when I got a job on a construction crew, during the 70’s. They had to hire a woman. I needed a job. I took it. I didn’t care that it was to fill a quota. I didn’t make the rules. I would have been stupid to not take it. I worked hard and proved myself. I bet she’ll work hard too. She’s an innocent bystander.
@@mamao7476 And you've never worked as hard as any of the men around you but you still got the same benefits that they did...
If you truly want fairness in hiring, remove all indicators of race, sex, etc and hire strictly off merits and qualifications.
The problem is if a company a hiring only white men based on merit then others will assume it's sexist or racist just because it's only white men in the work place. They won't think it's because they are not qualified.
As an Asian man the company I am currently working at has 30 white employees and only 2 Asians working there including my brother and I and we get along really good with everyone there. My brother is the supervisor for 1st shift and I am the supervisor for 2nd shift. It's because we are qualified not because we are the only 2 Asians there. But not everyone will think the same.
Then certain groups will always fail.
You ready for that?
I am.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hrI disagree. I don't think that one group can never be successful if hiring is strictly on merit and qualifications.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin by all but a handful of exempted employers (exemption example: religion organizations, can consider a person's religion when making hiring decisions).
Courts have repeatedly upheld, that the above factors cannot be considered AT ALL
If employers consider a person's race, color, sex or national origin... they have broken the law. Period.
You’d think that would have been good enough 😂
The exemption you mention for religious organizations has to do with the First Amendment not allowing congress to interfere with the free practice of religion. If congress were to pass a law saying that churches had to consider hiring LGBTQ people even if said lifestyles are against said religious views it would also be a violation of the First Amendment.
and that is when you get into technicalities ...... and workarounds
they take applications from everybody and even do interviews with just about everybody, but the HR already "filtered" who would get the job based on "diversity"
There's the laws as written, then there's reality.
The problem is you have to prove they considered race.
Which is why they deny it's happening, even when it's blatantly obvious that they are.
Hire the best qualified no matter Color, age, sex, race. Diversity hiring is like employing your Drunk brother because he is family
DEI is a waste of money! Having an office full of DEI employees to tell you who to hire is a waste of money.
@4:20 "..we're not hiring less qualified people..."
Yes, you are. If they were the most qualified person, they'd be hired on merit and you wouldn't be using DEI to justify their hiring.
Bingo!!
The thought process is that women and minorities are actually superior to a straight white male they perform on the same level as because there's a secret cabal of straight white men keeping everyone else down. This isn't hyperbole. This is literally what they believe. When he says he's hiring based on metrics what he means is that he's adjusting their metrics based on their victim status.
100% - their excuse will be that society prefers to hire white people so they’re putting a wedge in that but any white person knows 99% of us don’t give a f*ck. What I DO see is non-whites and females being preferred. That is actually happening.
America thrived for all these years because we have been a meritocracy.
We are moving from meritocracy to idiocracy.
The more White the more it thrives.
Color should never matter. Whoever worked harder should get it.
The problem with DEI is that it fails to account for the potential diversity in the hiring pool. Imagine if the NBA had to hire based on proportionate racial statistics.
They seem to be the only industry that isn’t “ DEI.”
And I’ve yet to hear about any white male backlash on this.
if skin color or race is on your job application.. the employer is racist.. point blank.. if schools ask your race on an application.. they are racist.. period.. skin color shouldn't be a question ever asked.. it shouldn't matter.
EXACTLY! A person is qualified for the job and is of good character or not. Nothing else should enter into the questions. However you always see the "race" question on loan applications, job applications, Univ applications, medical paperwork etc....and during the last few years corporations have insisted the employee who is taking the application (for example medical) or bank loan) write "what they see" on the applications...which in itself is biased toward bi or tri racial people who come in assorted "colors"
Ha! I've been saying for years that job applications are racist, ageist, and sexist, they shouldn't ask any of those questions, only about job qualifications.
I can think of exceptions but it's the cases where one's appearance is tied to the job.
Actors for roles based on historical figures for example. Competence at the job still matters of course but anyone who's a look-alike of the figure would have an advantage.
Actually, when it comes to college applications, the data show that black people's success rates at college correlate to an ACT score 3 lower than white people for the same success rates. If you just based on ACT score, you'd have fewer black people than you should. The point of the test is to predict success, and race figures into the actual success rate.
@@linminnesota2036 Actually, quite the opposite. It is required to ask for ethnicity on the application, but "prefer not answer" is an allowable choice.
Man loving your videos. We need to hire the best. It's terrible because now unintentional racism is happening because people will look at people and wonder if they were hired just because of their skin
I enjoy your willingness to think through what is presented in the world. A few things 1) Companies should not be interfering in politics, which unfortunately they do. Instead they should be held accountable for HOW they do business, i.e. paying workers fairly not outsourcing to countries that allow abuse of workers, or refusing pay increases when they are making record profits, etc., sadly since they are so deep in the pockets of politicians that doesn’t happen. 2) I work at a state university and we are so far past DEI that we have targeted hiring. Targeted hiring is a process that allows ONLY minority candidates to be interviewed - for positions making up to multiple 6 figure salaries. This practice is NOT used when hiring for most staff positions which are severely underpaid [a Bachelor degree isn’t enough to get the position, years of experience is also required, but pay is so low you qualify for food stamps and section 8 housing]. 3) A narrative is how we discuss a topic to make it sound good - no matter how despicable the actual topic may be when analyzed. So totally opposing realities can both be made to sound good or logical - it just depends on which details we leave out. 4) People being willing to ignore the information that doesn’t reinforce their own wants leads to situations like this - I was speaking to the Vice President for DEI at the State University where I work, she happens to be a black woman making around $400,000 per year. The topic was the deplorable wages of staff I already mentioned. She said, “I agree that people with Bachelor degrees shouldn’t be on food stamps, but it’s not like they need nice houses or cars.” For clarity, this University is in the Midwest, with basically no public transportation. 5) I cannot stress this enough: Unchecked Power Corrupts.
Hiring without consideration of race or ethnicity is literally the law (in Canada).
My understanding it’s also law in the USA. I’ve been in the work force since the 90s. Always thought that was the law here.
In Canada, you MUST consider race in hiring. The law is called the Employment Equity Act. Also, see section 15(2) of the Charter of Rights.
It seems like that but they’re changing it. I saw an ad recently from UVIC looking my for a specifically black or aboriginal teacher. They absolutely are hiring based on race in Canada, too.
Yeah, that's also the law in the U.S. since the 1960's, yet there are crazy people who think we need this DEI b.s.
I think it is important to notice who hides their identity and who does not during the interviews. Only one narrative is allowed and that should concern everyone.
Dei definitely excludes white heterosexuals, especially males. If the goal was for actual inclusivity it wouldn't need to exist. What company wouldn't hire the best person for any position? In America white people are predominant so it's not wrong to have white people in the majority of positions. They're are people of all backgrounds who are successful in this country. Not everyone can be successful. Believe it or not there are white people that have shitty beginnings and there's been a black president. These recent ideas have divided the nation more than brought it together. Teaching the youth to hate our country is wrong. Teaching girls men are not different or important is wrong. Teaching any race that another race is bad for things that happened decades or centuries ago is wrong. You can't fight hate with hate.
It's more ignorance than racist but do understand. Diversity hiring - if the person is not qualified and some other candidate is passed over then what do you think?
It's disgusting and ignorance if you deliberately hire someone that you feel is unqualified but pass over a person that you feel is privileged (W) because of this.
If I owned a company, I am hiring the best and brightest people and could CARE LESS about skin color.
Every student should be required to read Thomas Sowell basic economics. If a company has racist hiring practices and misses on better employees, loses money and will not thrive. Same argument for the incorrect "gender gap" argument.
Forcing DEI is like having deranged manipulations inflicted on an unfavored child by a narc parent who gives everything good to a golden child.
It's the opposite, the golden child is given everything despite their terrible behavior while the unfavored child is told to check their privilege.
They call it DEI because they know these words will "trigger" people and make it more popular. Emotional response is the fastest was to gain attention and get them into their feelings. My thought process on it is... when i am getting a surgical operation or getting onto an airplane, I don't care what color skin or ethnicity the surgeon is or the pilot is. I care that they are the best person at what they do.
JoJo I'll tell you when I was your age I didn't give a damn about politics. I'm 58 and I've only really voted three times. When I was in my twenties the last thing I was thinking about was politics. But once you get in your thirties and have a family believe me you will start to understand why being informed about what the government is doing to its people at this point in our history. When I grew up it was the 70s it was not like this at all. We've never been more divided than we are right now. This is not just a coincidence either this is by Design. Using mainstream media. Government entities. Big corporations that tell you to conform or be shunned from society.
Oh just putting out there that DEI seems to rebranding to something called BRIDGE.
When you realise they have discovered your product is BS just change the branding!
People who are competent do not want a handout.
No JoJo. Not equity and inclusion. Equality under the law. The rest is up to you. Equity implies equal outcomes. Equality implies equal opportunity. The latter puts the ball in your court. The former puts the ball in the government or corporations court.
If the system is biased, then why do IQ scores correlate so strongly with income?
Well, not anymore!
The diversity is only of skin color not of thought.
Equity is about the outcome not the work done.
Inclusion kicks out those who don't follow.
You have a great style of commentary, where you’re just being honest and inquisitive. It’s refreshing.
The ONLY things Companies should be interested in is making a Good Product that their Customers want....they should NOT have anything to do with pushing 'Social' issues, that is the province of the actual People of that Country/Nation. Having Companies push DEI negates what the actual Citizenry wants, since the Big Companies/Corporations can BRIBE, err 'Lobby' Politicians so they vote for something the Politicians Constituents DON'T WANT. Did Abraham, Lincoln, in his Gettysburg Address say "A Government of the Corporations, by the Corporations, for the Corporations shall not perish from the Earth"? NO, it was 'Government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE'
How is it NOT Racist if you have a White Man with 10 Years experience in a Job, that Graduated from College with Honors, and reject His Application for a position and pick a Black Women with ZERO Experience straight out of college that only had average Grades....which is what Companies/Corporations are doing today with DEI. They are NOT Hiring for Merit, they are hiring based upon 'Appearance'. This was even pointed out by the Eastern European Female 'Head Hunter' who went out specifically looking for Female Coders, and in the end hired all Men because the Women she interviewed were Lazy and couldn't code worth a damn....in todays climate she would still have been forced to hire those Women even if it meant the Company would be putting out substandard products that no one wanted to buy or else have to hire TWICE as many people to get the same job done, also making the Company LOSE Profit.
The issue with diversity hiring is that it creates a stereotype which penalises the competent POC and puts them in the same bucket! Instead of progressing to wards equity it actually creates more division!
Stop trying to invent victimhood lol.
You’re correct but here’s a way to discern: If you were a DEI hire but have been on the job for awhile then you’ve proven yourself.
That can be researched most of the time but when it comes to a Commercial Pilot, it cannot be.
As someone who has done a fair amount of hiring in one of the most ethnically diverse industry in the country (food service) what we look for most is who is best capable of performing the expected task balanced against their expected compensation. Unfortunately the past few years have seen extreme restrictions on the range of compensation upwards which shuts people out from getting their foot in the door or developing room for growth. I'll hire someone unskilled that I think really wants to be there and can be trained up, but they're not getting the same compensation as someone with 10 years experience who can bring more to the table. I'll bet any amount of money if you gave an Ivy League economist full control of a restaurant it would bomb out hard.
Margin and Diversity are inversely correlated.
Also, the more a company focuses on "diversity", the more likely they are to fail.
I know someone who was TOLD they didn't get a job because they had to hire the less qualified minority woman because they had to meet a diversity quota; this was a tech related job.
The funny thing is, they paid to have this woman to get the further qualifications she needed but had to fire her less than a year in because she wasn't doing her job properly (taking too long to do certain tasks, not doing tasks she found difficult). Then they had the audacity to try to call up and offer the position to the guy they had passed over for the diversity hire. He laughed at them and hung up.
Dude, I wish I had paid attention to politics at your age. I was totally clueless. I believed whatever the national news told me…why would they lie right. Luckily for me I started listening to Rush Limbaugh. It took a month or so to see what he was saying but thank God I kept listening. I wish you were old enough to hear him. Rip Rush
Apple consumers should care that the corporation uses Chinese slave labor because it seriously reduces what they pay for labor. Apple corporation should not care about politics but it should care about the humanity which they take advatange of while propping up actual slave labor. Its disingenuous to say you care about slavery that took place 200 years ago while promoting slavery in China and not speaking out on the mass slavery being imported into America today. Same goes for Nike.
I'll tell you why it's apples responsibility to focus on how they affect life & culture: because they spend a lot of money telling people that cool, affluent people (synonymous with 'good' in capitalism) choose their products. If you position your product as a moral choice - which most advertising companies try to do on your behalf - then... well, you are taking on that responsibility too.
Otherwise, all marketing would be about performance and capability. But they're not, are they?
Basically - if they stop preaching to me about their products being the only way to be happy... then I'll stop preaching to them that they have a cultural responsibility in general.
This has nothing to do with how i feel about American Corporate DEI culture which I loathe and is infecting the UK as well. But the corps want to have their cake and eat it. ...How about no?
Just putting it out there, but there is a good number of folks who apply to a job and if they don't get it, they automatically assume it's because of their race/gender/orientation/etc and they make it a problem online so the business they applied to has a chance of being harassed by the random Twitter or TikTok cults. There are many factors that go into the hiring process. Maybe they didn't like how many Tattoos or Piercings you have (or the position requires you to not have any Tats or piercings at all!), maybe they thought you were too snippy/sarcastic during the interview, maybe you didn't dress well for the interview so they assume you're not taking it seriously. If you're just as qualified as any white/black/asian/indian/hispanic/man/woman/bigfoot/etc, then you have just as much of a chance as any of them, and if you don't get the job, move on and try to find something else, life's too short for the BS and if you're serious about getting yourself out there to work, that should be your focus, not starting a flame war with the company that didn't hire you (and you have no actual idea why they didn't choose you, so you're just ASSUMING the worst).
When you question any of these types of issues, follow the money. ESG allows for loans from huge firms like Blackrock and Vanguard, or grants and tax breaks from Governments like the US, CA, and UK.
Any private business owners want to hire the best workers..
Not be forced to hire by race, genders, etc
As a business owner I don’t care if your purple with red spots you make me money your in ….. but unfortunately I can’t do that because how good you are at something don’t count for shit
That is how it works in South Africa, even government tenders get given to companies with the most DEI or as we call it B-BBEE Certification and points. This has lead to mass corruption in our country. And it has affected work ethic and more so the economy. All it did was make the poor, poorer and the rich richer. It further divided the country and the rich a holes still laugh all the way to the bank.
Do you know who’s job it is to create a diverse workplace? The parents of the people that are going to be applying. Make sure that your children get the best education possible for whatever it is that their child wants to do and make sure that they are good people. That is how we can get a diverse workplace.
It's relevant to the company because they get their loans based of a score of capitulation to ESG and DEI instead of fiduciary.
Fixing past bias? Based on what metric? How do you know you've reached your goal? How do you explain to someone who had nothing to do with "past biases" that just lost an opportunity, that the reason they didn't get the job wasn't because they didn't work the hardest but because of an arbitrary, and subjective, "fixing bias" bias? No, what you're doing is generating future resentment.
The Didn't Earn It initiative.
The only way to be unbiased is to hire as randomly as possible. The only way to stay in business is to intentionally bias by metrics that benefit, against those that detract and ignore those that have no effect.
Congratulations to you and your parents for how you turned out LFR Jojo. I employ over 3000 employees worldwide and would never hire in this insane way. To employ someone like this is an insult to everyone. Historical band-aid behavior continues, the racism just switches the race or group.
When a company cannot hire the best person, SAD
Because they need a certain amount of race. gender, etc..
All children are not born with hate or racism…it learn and taught by parents and those who influence them..Reason hate and racism will never end in this world..
I’d say we aren’t less inclusive now but rather differently exclusive.
Trying? You should ask what that means. There's a difference between intent and outcome. Intent doesn't justify it. It's also just affirmative action.
People care more about a product that doesn’t fall apart. I don’t care who makes it as long as it’s good I’m not the VAX and that’s what company do to do. Make a good product. That’s what they’re therefore you see a time and time again small companies come out and have a really good product. Then they have to be forced to do all this stuff to meet all the requirements and their product goes into the toilet.
JFK signed the equal pay act(1962) But Johnson signed all the other civil rights legislation. Including affirmative action (1965)
don't forget when he was a senator he blocked the original civil rights act 🤣
@@joshsmith4512 Exactly - there were repercussions from the Bill Johnson signed and the ramifications are monumental and why we have such crime and fatherless families. Just take a look before and after and you will see.
@@rg20322 yeah i know. Johnson was a Dixiecrat , he was a racist 🤷♂️
GEN is one of my favorite journalists, please do more of his videos
Companies are only seeing d.e.i. people as a money making/saving opportunity.
I'm for it... just as soon as NBA teams cap the number of black players at 15% per team.
Come to think of it I’ve never seen a vid of white males who aspire to be in the NBA protest this!
Hey brother, I've been watching your content for a while, keep doing what you are doing and congratulations on entering the STEM realm.
They applied DEI to chiropractic medicine. They removed all techniques that require upper body strength. Now anyone can be a chiropractor. That's great for the providers, but if you are a patient, you want to see someone who can help you with your pain.
Hierarchies of competence, nothing else
8:27 professional victimhood is a career now. DEI is racist. It’s not going off qualifications just appearance.
I don't know if it was due to D.E.I. or not, but I was told that I was getting hired once because as a Disabled Veteran, I "Checked off several boxes" annnnnnnnnnd that was not a great feeling. It honestly made me feel like I was being used and I almost turned down the Job because it was kind of insulting? I dunno, it's weird to explain. Like, "Cool I got a job and I'm making money... but like... They are litterally using me to check off boxes, and idk how to feel about that."
Was just talking to a VA employee about this the other day.
He said that although disabled Vets get preference in the hiring process they still had to perform and behave to a certain level or they could get fired.
I worked on a “ term appointment” decades ago at the VA and I saw people get lateral transfers when they were a problem. All these years I mistakingly thought a civil service worker couldn’t get fired!
So, who cares why you were hired? If you are still there you must be doing a decent job.
The problem I have is with DEI hires who get fired for valid reasons winning lawsuits claiming racism.
To want Companys having more power over society's issues, will definitely end in something like Arasaka from Cyberpunk. They will get drunk on power.
i have been a hiring manager since the early 90s. Since day one, there was always pressure to fill positions with minorities. The problem was, we hardly got black candidates to even apply. at one company, the biggest company in the county with a worldwide known brand name, we (not the other way around) reached out to the local HBCU to start an internship program. the program was designed to give these kids a internship and after they graduated, looked to hire them to fill roles. the other university in the same city were more proactive reaching out to companies like ours to get internships programs set up. but we when the HBCU route b/c the pressure to hire, even if you had to go out of your way to find a minority to interview, was strong. my point is the pressure from management to hire minorities has been ongoing for over a half century. there is absolutely no valid reason for diversity hiring, just hire the most qualified. no one is throwing away minority resumes. they are looking at resumes to sort out those that line up enough with the job role for an interview. and most, including me, will hire the minority unless the white candidate is a MUCH better fit for the role.
Having 20 of your book on the shelf just proves you didn't sell many
Ive said the same forever man. Remove race and name. That also eliminates the sexism issue.
Why is there no DEI in professional sports....
All I'm saying is, until this shit ends, I'm not getting on a plane.
Huh, a couple of professors from Texas A&M and UNC (J. Hand and J.Green) could not replicate the findings of the McKinsey studies when they tried recently and seem to have implied that the McKinsey studies used a faulty reverse causality in its studies.
DEI is posturing at your customers expense. If you aren't hiring purely on merit you can't possibly give your consumer their moneys worth.
Diversity of ideas? Great! Diversity of skills? Great! But diversity of race or gender is superficial and adds nothing.
My dad aged out of welding back in the 90s. Way cheaper to hire someone that doesn't have the years of experience the right to demand a higher wage and can't question (because they tend to not know any better) a lot of the sht that employers try to pull.
This problem was solved by résumé types, or an application with relevant fields, that include the filers' attributes the company wants to choose from.
Let's look at this issue from a perspective from a country that has instated equity as law. In South Africa, the African national congress (ANC) has implemented Broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) which is a law stating that any company of a certain size, making a certain yearly revenue, with a certain amount of employees must follow a set rule of equity hiring. This equity hiring is categorised as 'impoverished and disadvantaged' workers, I e: the black majority. The argument the ANC makes is, due to Apartheid, whites have greatly benefited from the oppression of blacks, and therefore, 30 odd years after the first democratic elections and instatment of a black government, whites are somehow still doing so. Regardless of the fact that the black government today has done more harm to black citizens, than apartheid ever had done.
This law entails that for every small, medium or large company (especially if owned by a white person) must, if the employee amount exceeds over 50 personnel, that for every white employee there must be 10 black employees, regardless of qualification of skill. And if the employee so desires, they can substitute a Coloured, Indian, or Asian person for one black version out of the 50 employees.
If this law is not followed, a fine can be given at the discretion of the South African revenue services (SARS) or the ANC government itself. This is racial discrimination under the disguise of disadvantaged equity hiring. Resulting in companies not being able to hire people based purely on merit, but rather appointed a hiring list via the government, leading to companies eventually losing revenue, relocating, downsizing and closing down.
What's even more perverse is that an amendment has been made to the law due to the backlash. Companies, have sought to hire on merit, and thereby split their larger companies into entity companies, smaller sub-companies that all work together, but are owned by the same individual. Each company only hires up to 49 individuals based on merit. The ANC amended the law stating, that if a company does not comply with the 50 employee threshold they will be fined until they do employ more than 50 employees... This has resulted in companies closing down, or relocating to neighbouring countries, or going abroad. In January of 2024, 77 000 skilled labourers left South Africa to find work abroad, resulting in the home affairs departments to stop issuing Visas and passports. Refusing people to leave the country on the basis of work.
This is what is going to happen in America and will only lead to a decline in skilled labour, and more laws and bylaws being passed to insure equity over equality, and racial hiring quotas.
Racial hiring quotas have led to major public institutions being destroyed, namely:
Public transit
Railway transit
International transit (SA airways)
Energy sectors
Public hospitals
Public schools
SARS
Home affairs
Government municipalities
Ect.
Don't do socialism America, you are a representative Republic first, a democracy second. Remember that.
Jup, you get bigger tax breaks as a company and bigger contracts if you hire DEI
This society is screwed.
As a guy in his mid 40's whose been working his whole life, I can assure you that the entirety of my life UNTIL DEI, the amount of racism involved was negligible at most.
DEI is racism.
End of story.
5:05 It is absolutely not about fixing a broken system. An example of this is police stations when they're hiring dispatchers and such, nowhere on the application is there a place for you to put race, there's also no place for gender, it actually says on the application do not list these things. Yet when I got called in for an interview, for a dispatcher position, the interviewing officer was shocked, when he called my name and I stood up. He was shocked because I am a man and I have one of those names that can be male or female. He was so shocked, that he actually said, before catching himself, "Oh you're a man, I didn't expect that, we specifically went through and picked out names that we thought were women, we were trying to fill these positions with... um... Oh... Let's just get into the interview room" He got halfway through his thought and then realized that he fucked up. I ended up getting offered the job, I knew I had one of the best scores on the testing since I had a 99.5% score on a 200 question test, I knew that my background was 100% clean, and I thought I did pretty well on the interview. I did not accept the job, knowing that I had them in such a way, that if they didn't give me the job, I would have a lawsuit in the bag. I was not willing to take the job based on the possibility that, it was offered, not on merit but on them wanting to avoid a possible lawsuit.
If I had not been offered the job, I would have asked a few questions and as long as the person that got hired wasn't way way below me as far as qualifications I would have let it go, but if she had scored somewhere in the minimum score for passing which would have been 75%, and had anything negative in her background, there wouldn't be anything like I could do to check on her interview But if in the two categories I could get some information on I was way above then I might consider suing, but since they offered me the job I just didn't accept it and moved on. My test scores and background as well as good interviews, I got job offers for three different law departments. It was a little annoying, because the one that I turned down because of the possibility of it not being a fair job offer, was actually the one that I wanted more than the other two.
DEI= didn't earn it.
ofc the diversity training coach is fitting all the stereotypes ...
Bingo!
She said it's not happening and is highly illegal. Yes, it is highly illegal, which is why they are insisting it's not happening, whether it is happening or not. But we all know it actually is happening
DEI is the corporate version of Affirmative Action. Give some people opportunities over others, based on skin color. Affirmative Action was just demolished by the Supreme Court, maybe DEI should meet the same end.
I hate DEI crap too.
Because now when I go to the VA I have to explicitly decline to see young Black doctors and nurses.
I just absolutely refuse to let them treat me for anything unless it’s like taking my temperature and blood pressure and easy stuff like that.
No it’s not racism.
I just refuse to put my own health which is critically important in the hands of someone who may have only got to where they are because they have black skin rather than earning it through merit.
Older Black doctors I’m cool with.
Asian & White doctors have the most obstacles and no DEI advantages so they are highly prized as it means not only did they earn it but they went above and beyond.
Double speak double think.
Inclusion means division.
Forced identity politics is a slippery slope that leads to dehumanization, and thus the worst atrocities we have ever done to each other.
We need to bring back "American". In America dei is already baked into the cake. Just hire the qualified people.
That's the whole idea.
"Didn't Earn It"
I believe if race is removed from the application, then that would remove the use of socalled "DEI" .
Statistically if they removed race from the equation black people wouldn't get the job in most cases. Everyone isn't created equal. There are great black hires out there. They already have good jobs probably.
Do you think all black people have the same grades and qualifications on paper. Those of us who decide to not work hard enough to make it by their own hard work should not define all of us.
Actually “ ageism” has been the most discriminatory practice in hiring and it’s impossible to prove.
And it affects everybody at some point in their lives.
Dei is segragation. Bridge is the wording for dei.
You do know that definition of rasicm has changed the last 10 years, it used to be "the belief that people of other races are inferior to your own."
It’s morphed into expecting certain standards of behavior and ability.
Overhere in the Netherlands we have these Sheit too. We have testing nameless and raceless 'anonymous' hiring Methods..
The results where that it didn't made a difference, which indicate that our Hiring practices have nothing to do with discrimination on the bases of race or ethnicity..
Still the woke people press we are racist in hiring.
I love that people will just lie to other people's faces, and pretend like they are providing some sort of revelation. DEI and Merit are DIRECTLY in opposition to each other. DEI gives "Stat Weights" like an MMO to immutable characteristics that have NOTHING to do with filling a position with the person best suited to a position.
If you hire based on merit, by default you are never discriminating in your hiring. If you hire based on DEI, by default you are always discriminating in your hiring.
12:34 video games are hit super hard with wokeness also.
Musk is talking about how it is racist for hiring based on skin color. Cuban is speaking about the benefits of diversity. Unfortunately you cannot force diversity for specific skill sets. Hiring is difficult for most companies and qualified individuals are not easy to come by. It is not beneficial to hire someone who does not possess the skills for the job. A good example is how i took my brother's college entrance exams for him. It got him into classes he was not able to keep up with, and ended up causing him more problems. People keep saying to hire on merit but it should be based on the ability of the person to do the job.
Isn’t merit defined as the ability to do a job?
And yes, certain groups ( including males and females) are naturally good at certain things which influences what line of work they go into.
There may be too much of a push to put a round peg into a square hole which never works out.
That definition of racism seems off.
Look at the wayback version.
rururemon is more fun to say than Lululemon... or maybe we can mix and match with luluremon
Companies get federal funds for hiring veterans. (tax credits, same thing) They also get it for meeting certain hiring goals in "diversity".
Can you please start posting the reference video in the description?
I have a problem with his premise that DEI has been proven to be profitable, when all anecdotal evidence, i.e., "Go Woke, go broke", shows the contrary.
Names on applications could be gleaned down to just last names, eliminate the race/ ethnicity blocks on forms and resumes attached to all applications.
