Yeah, so tired of the oppression Olympics and diversity calendar at work. Why can't people just go to work and do their jobs? I don't need to wear rainbow pants and be forcefed rainbow cookies at work during pride month. I don't need to be forcefed dimsum and noodle soup during Asian heritage month.

Just go to work and do your damn job. So tiresome.

Seriously. Nobody cares. Nobody. We don’t need to be personally involved in everyone’s life. Just be professional and polite and do your job. Nothing else is required.

Where do you people work that you are being forced to wear rainbow pants and eat dim sum? I am so curious.

I've had good and bad experiences with DEI. Learning about structural racism is interesting and important. Learning about microaggressions, how they impact everyone but especially people of color, and how to respond/prevent them is useful and important.

However some of the training I've done is very antagonistic towards White attendees and that's a problem for me because then they get frustrated and don't want to deal with racial equity related things (then they look to me to do it). I think some of these consultants need to swallow their pride and not use these trainings to berate White people before they do anything wrong. Assume people are good, treat people as individuals, and they'll want to engage more.

Let's just say a major local employer in MoCo hammers pride month and there are tons of events with rainbows and rainbows food everywhere. And if you refuse to wear rainbows, rainbow pins, or a t shirt at work, you definitely feel ostracized.

I just want to go to work and be left alone. Good grief.

Yup.


I just got done pushing back on my company for their corporate training. I recently did a training with a DEI section and it defined equity as "understanding people do not start their journey to success from the same place. Equity acknowledges that imbalance, distributes resources to achieve fair outcomes and helps ensure proportional representation at all levels of the organization. What does it look like? A manager initiates a mentorship program to address barriers experienced by underrepresented employees." Then it goes on to ask a true false question that says the following: "True or false. Giving all employees the same opportunities is the best way to foster an equitable workplace." The answer was supposed to be false. I took serious exception to all of this and reached out to my HR. My company has more than 30 offices across the country and to the best of my knowledge i'm the only one who has come forward. The head of HR seemed pretty shocked that this was what our training said and said he would fix it. We'll see. The point is, far left dems like paint republicans as fearmongers looking for a boogeyman, but fail to acknowledge that the things that republicans are talking about are actually happening both in academia and the workplace.

Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?

The next time you get on an airplane do you want the pilot, crew and air traffic controller to have been hired on merit/qualifications or DEI? I’m guessing you’d go with merit/qualifications. Does that make you racist?

You commit a logical fallacy here. It is not an either/or choice.

Merit/qualifications gets you the best person for the job, DEI may get the best person. When lives are on the line, the reasonable person would want the best choice not the hopeful choice.

The only conspiracy is how this whole furor either advocating for/railing against this kind of stuff was concocted and used by elites to get the focus off of economic inequality, corporate greed, big finance, and the massive influence money has on politics.

Immediately after the Occupy Wallstreet movement which really got people talking and considering how everyone is being screwed by the über-wealthy, the media puts the focus on race/ethnicity/racism in order to keep us divided.

I wrote this and a day later, still only see more and more proof that this is true; piling up in this thread.

What good partisan sheeple you all are.

Nope, and neither will the right. Far easier to just be mad about it. For both of them.
