Imagine how much they could save if they simply stopped existing?
Also lmao at this guys profile pic and name. Dude is a living stereotype
He does really really shitty movie reviews on YouTube and shows up on my feed constantly. Even the most moderately non chuds hate him
Isn't it the opposite? That you get better results by not excluding 50% of the population in your hiring process.
The evidence says yes. Reminds me of a fun uni group project I had once. It was a business class with a lot of adjacent majors in it.
spoiler
There were half a dozen groups and you could see three which were according to all I know of them from parties mostly cis hetero dudes and one was the "alpha" group. With that I mean it was filled with five dudebros who all thought they are hot shit and people should just listen to them.
Needless to say that one group had a lot of conflict ending in them. All of them tried to be "the leader" of the group, undercut the others in the group etc. The grade was the same for everyone within a group except a small part for the presentation and a slightly larger part for how your team mates rated you in terms of willingness to do another project with you (I disliked the grading cause it could've been bad for neurodivergent people and forcing people to present stuff is bad in any case).
With the other groups we had a common chat in which we discussed that we could just give everyone the highest mark and thus ensure that everyone passes and most would improve the grades for their stipends and such. So naturally nearly all other groups just gave maximum points to their team mates. Not so the "alpha" group in which people would give zero points to each other meaning their final marks were nearly failing grades.
One of them ended up working for Deutsche Bank so it did track after all.
White dudes can fail miserably and still get a cushy job at a huge bank.
That's what these anti-diversity bros think 'merit' is.
Anecdotally: I work in a field that is basically 100% white dudes. The one company I worked for that approached 50% not white dudes in that role... was by far the most competent team I worked with. To me, the lack of diversity seems obviously to having nothing to do with "meritocracy" and everything to do with networking and a lack of imagination by white dude hiring managers who have never had a friend who wasn't another white dude.
I watched half of one of this guy's videos once. It was a review of a movie that I didn't like. The Critical Drinker also didn't like it. But it seemed like he didn't like it because it starred a woman, and that was apparently bullshit PC SJW culture and an attack on men.
I'm hoping that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officer is able to actually achieve those stated goals. I've worked at a company with a DEI officer before and they've served as little more than cover for the company to point to in the event they fuck up in the public eye.
It's still a capitalist endeavor at the end of the day though and this hiring is probably something management is doing to attempt to dissuade the unionization effort going on at ActiBlizz.
In my experience, the only thing they do is tell people they have the option to put their pronouns at the end of their Zoom names, and then pat themselves on the back.
They just want more people to exploit and virtue signal about how inclusive they are. The video game industry is horribly exploitative.
No mention of PoC, so I guess the faustian bargain turned out to be "okay, we can hire some women and LGBT, but they have to be white."
I think the court case is only about sexism, but in these people’s brains all non cis white dudes are in cahoots.
all non cis white dudes are in cahoots.
:inshallah-script:
I used to work at a company that loved smelling its own farts about how "diverse" it was. Zero PoC managers, one PoC exec (married to white male top exec), almost no indigenous workers and zero in management. Their definition of diversity was just "look, we let white women in".
I guess it's better than nothing I suppose.
is this the downtalking (opposite of uptalking, not 'talking down') scottish guy?
The whole point of diversity and inclusion is that you can't quantify or tell how qualified someone is through resumes and job interviews. You can't REALLY see who's the most qualified. You can get a vague idea of the stuff they know, but biases will kick in. Christ, this isn't a video game where you see everyone's stats and can balance your company based on the different stat advantages...
