[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because having a diverse and equitable workforce IS good for the bottom line and will ultimately result in a better workplace and product for your clients.

Also and most importantly but I don't think will sway you, people deserve to work in places that are fair and equitable. And for the most place they don't. So, places are trying to change that as they should. Ultimately if it works, it's better for everyone. [/quote]

I agree that having a diverse and equitable workforce is good. We have a very diverse staff, and people are treated pretty fairly overall. That's not what I'm referring to. Our company is having external facilitators come in and force us to have awkward and uncomfortable conversations with probing questions that I truly don't feel comfortable sharing with my colleagues. I don't want to share "the moment that I felt discriminated against" or "the moment I did something discriminatory to someone else" or "my family background and structure". None of these things contribute to me doing my job well. [/quote]

NP.  I 100% agree with you, on all points.  I was interviewing recently and thought it went pretty well.  Then the last question:  "Who is the most inclusive person you know, and why?"  Nothing at all to do with the job or my experience.  I was completely floored and it showed.  I made up some BS answer but I knew that was it.  Because of some absurd, virtue-signaling question, I did not get a job I was fully qualified for.

DEI is a farce and I look forward to the day more people realize this.[/quote]

Well they thought answering that question well was part of being qualified. So NO, you were not fully qualified.
