[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much misinformation. In the agency where I am detailed, everyone had a DEI objective, and if we were hiring we had a mandatory question about how you supported DEi in your previous roles. The correct answer for managers was to sign up to be a champion for an employee resource group (the ultimate purpose of which was to make sure everyone had the warm fuzzies and to make people stop saying things like ‘hey come over here and eat bacon or else you’re weird’ to Muslims on Ramadan). We also had to sit on hiring panels to make sure no one made assumptions about someone’s fitness for a job based on factors like “she’s got small kids, she won’t travel”). We also got training on how to respond to our neurodiverse employees behaviors and not write them up for ‘not being team players’). It was harmless. We had already cut a bunch of it out of our programs because we had a reduced budget. [/quote]

It sounds like you had a decent DEI office. The mandatory hiring question seems irrelevant to hiring but most people should be able to manage an answer.

I hope that the people in that office get an opportunity to move to a different function as they probably would do a decent job there too.[/quote]
