Same.  My boss was just denied a promotion and flat out told that it looked better for them to promote a female than another white male.  I know another white male who was told by his boss, the VP of Sales, that he would never be promoted because he was a white male.  And our VP of HR said he was only considering “diverse candidates” for an open position on his team.  He settled for a white gay male but was open about his preference for a black female.[/quote]

There are ways around it. I am an asian female in tech (with MBA from Top 20) denied promotion for the team that I was leading after my prior manager left. White male (less experience and only a BBA) was promoted because he had a prior relationship with the VP, so yes favoritism rules ! BTW my company has big diversity rules and requires interviewing atleast one diversity candidate for every job req. Most managers have openly told me, that they would interview female candidates per the rules, but would still hire who they want to, in this case white male[/quote]
