[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DEI is a gaslighting cult along the lines of Q-Anon or Scientology, not a management tool or some type of mechanism for social justice. Just ignore it.

+1. Cult is absolutely right. As a federal employee suffering through a deluge of DEI initiatives under this administration, it is stunning to watch. I'm so tempted to raise my hand at one of these ridiculous meetings and ask for evidence or data in support the outlandish statements our diversity officers routinely make, but it would be professional suicide to do so.[/quote]

This is absurd. I would in financial services. [b]There is a ton of data that shows that diverse portfolio management teams do better than than their all white male counterparts.[/b]

Companies would diversify naturally if it truly benefited them financially. Except if doesn’t.  It’s a red flag if a company is promoting based on skin color instead of talent.

Talent first. If I have someone with a grad degree who is willing to take less money, and a lesser job, because they believe in the cause - and they are good at what they do - they should be supported, not discouraged. Racism of any kind should not be tolerated, and that includes racism against white women, like it or not. Most white women can tell immediately when their POC coworkers have disdain for them.  For what?  They never did anything to that person, and just met them! If white people treated POC the way some POC (usually women) treat white people (again, usually women) there would be a witch hunt.

There should be a base level of professionalism, which includes being able to get along with other people, and not holding white women to a different standard (which is illegal, BTW). You can't refuse to train a person because they are white, and you can't fabricate reasons for them to not have a job, if they are qualified. Same as you should not be able to fabricate reasons a POC should have a particular job. I foresee more legal action in the future, as DEI takes off. DEI may look great on paper, but it will bring problems to the employer, that the employer did not anticipate. [/quote]
