That's stupid. I have all races working for me. And I've had White Crew Leaders, Hispanic Crew Leaders and Black Crew Leaders. Everybody deserves a chance to do better. I don't just pick somebody arbitrarily based on skin color. Employees all get the same training, we train on skills and management, and they end up being Crew Leaders, or leaving the company, or electing to just be a grunt.

Lets start everyone from the same level of training and Mentorship and see who takes to it.

Ahh you dont mention have any Trans crew leaders. What, do you hate and discriminate against alphabet people?

Yes, this is humor.

I've never worked anywhere where Mentors just come up to you and help you from day 1. I always had to look for them.

I have. The Mentors were always older men and the new managers they wanted to mentor were always young, good looking females.

Ok back to financial type stuffs.

Anyone else wondering if our fragile little black bitch was a diversity hire?..

Feels like he got some diversity preferences...

Prolly college, hiring after college, getting catered to with a do nothing job, then getting a fast track assignment, then getting unearned promotions...

Boy I sure do love me some diversity.

After all that unearned catering to his skin, still has the balls to bitch about it.

The entitlement is fucking impressive

"Most" of this is just pandering and if you actually look at their hiring processes you would find none of that shit is actually in writing. I have weekly staff meetings with my HR director in one of the most Lib states in the union. The state will tell you its ok to pander and dance around it, but you can't actually put that shit in writing.

Sure companies arent gonna have *do not interview/callback white males* in their manuals but theres no way the atmosphere that leads to them creating an advertisement that says "diverse/women highly encouraged to apply" stops and begins at that ad for virtue signaling points.

That face when you hold both PYL and PLTR in your portfolio today

Shocking... but not really.

Think NVDA will break down below 300 today? It has a nice gap up this morning but filled the gap pretty quickly.

TSLA Trending down but support at 1032? If TSLA breaks 1032 probably going to be an overreaction everywhere.

It's a long way down from here.

100% agree. Proving atmosphere is a lot harder than proving it in writing.

This is exactly what people are complaining about. Imagine your company made you arbitrarily select someone based on skin color. That’s what these DEI counsels are doing at all major corporations. It’s part of the policy now.

This is 100% true. People don’t go around looking for noobs to train, cause usually people aren’t interested. They don’t have time for that shit, they’re busy.

If someone is showing interest in learning something from me then I’ll go out of my way to help them as best I can. I can’t force people to care/learn things.

For our jobs here's how it usually plays out. We put out a req for X software job looking, begging, for anyone with experience on a few business-oriented platforms. Say, a Netsuite or ServiceNow type experience. Talent Acquisition throws a bunch of diversity hires who don't even meet the most basic requirement (like we seriously need experience with Netsuite we can ignore a lot of X role, but they absolutely MUST have NetSuite administration and development experience.).

We get a bunch of trash who have other experience that isn't necessarily bad but it isn't for such a skillset. Waste our time on interviews. Reiterate to talent acquisition that Netsuite or whatever is a hard requirement. They must have it. Then we start getting qualified candidates and somehow they're all white people and we close out the role and hire someone in a few weeks after an entire quarter of dragging ass about it because of the initiative.

I know this because we just went through it. So dumb.

It seems like the reoccurring theme in all these stories is corporate and individual incompetence.

80% of the people working at most companies are incompetent in tasks that require general intelligence, and 40% of them aren't even good at their 1 fucking job. Meanwhile the other 20% wear 6 hats and do all the things.

A modern corporation is just a framework for accomplishing difficult things with rotating pools of incredibly mediocre people.

20+ years working for one of the largest companies on the planet. I used to hear on occasion how the Construction silo wasn't diverse enough. It needed more women. We would then respond that we all agreed, and yet when an internal opening appeared 100% of the resumes were from males. The flaw in their argument is that they failed to consider there are some professions that females don't want to do. Being 30' off the ground up a phone pole on climbers in the heat/cold/rain for 5-6 hours a day placing heavy gauge copper cable apparently did not appeal to females. And as for management openings, its hard to have experience in a Construction organization if you refuse to work in a Construction organization. We were male heavy because only males wanted the jobs. Amazingly enough, our call centers were like 90% female (and 10% gay males) because men generally did not bid those jobs because they did not want a job where they had to raise their hand and ask permission to go to the bathroom.

Yeah. This kind of thinking is about as retarded as, "Women can sleep around until they're 30 and then become a housewife to the husband of their dreams." Life doesn't work like that. Also, women who do a lot of manual labor are HAGGARD:

16 years ago on Fires of Heaven I didn't see any of you fuckers complaining about racism against minorities in hiring. I guess its only a concern when it involves you.

wrong thread I guess

valiant attempt at trolling sir. Because codified racism is the EXACT same, as boogeyman it feels like racism but I have no proof.

My experience working in Corporate America was that minorities get mentored much later in their careers, if at all. My hiring class, the White guys had Mentors day one. It took me years for them to see they had value in me, and to get a Mentor. Other than that, they just left us twisting in the wind trying to figure it out.

They literally just picked the White males with blonde hair and blue eyes to be in charge. Now that the shoe has changed feet, there is an outcry.

Anyway, fuck working for anyone, I make more in a day being self employed than in my two week check at a Fortune 10 company. I make more trading than that pay.

Wife's black. Never experienced that working in finance for every single bank, Fannie, Freddie and fucking Finra. She would call you a dusty.
