I prefer knowledge, ability and experience in the workplace. You hire the most qualified person for the job. Anything else detracts from performing the task and is a waste of resources.
What a total bunch of BS. Don’t waste your time. If you’re running a business hiring the best people is tantamount to profit regardless of who they are.
You know who this hurts the most? Minority candidates who actually deserve to have their job and were not hired because of their membership in an "underrepresented group", but because they are actually good at their job. Because of these DEI/ESG initiatives, there is always doubt about a person's capabilities when we see a member of an "underrepresented group" in a position, especially a position of authority. There is only one way to make a hiring decision. Pick the best person for the job, OBLIVIOUS TO ALL OTHER FACTORS.
Your statement operates under the assumption that the best candidates may not be diverse. Missing an opportunity to attract and hire diverse candidates ultimately harms the business via a missed opportunity cost.
@@NickKuthe But everybody knows that the diversity matters more than the qualifications in hiring in most state, federal, medical & other large corporations. This kind of hiring is not cutting out people of color or for sexual identification, as much as it discredits those that at are truly qualified. Those individuals that are qualified are then being scrutinized before gaining respect from their fellow team mates because of the too many diversity hires that can’t or won’t pick up the work load.
Imagine going to a hospital and finding out your surgeon got the job, not because of their skill or merit, but because the ticked the right ethnic check box's!!! It's literally the racist adult version of a participation trophy. If I was fully black and found out I landed a job because of my skin color, I probably wouldn't even want the job after that! I'd want to be hired with confidence that I was the perfect one to fulfill that purpose, not that I ticked all the right racial box's I have zero control over. That's like getting hired as someone secretary, not because they thought you where an amazing worker, dedicated, motivated, skilled enough to do the job, and a perfect candidate, no, the boss just thought you had a great looking pare of t!ts sitting on your chest! "Oh I'm so flattered you noticed what I was born with, finally some recognition" said no one but scum, but somehow that logic is going to bring about equality? A literal spit in the face would have been just as good.
DEI is a training for those who are hired on the merits. THEN, it becomes about corporate, campus, or agency fluidity. It acknowledges the fact that there are various diversity elements and how to utilize that to a workplaces advantage. In some instances, internal divisions can arise and distract from the safety of the work environment and create a hostile work environment based on diversity elements. Thus DEI is essential to prevent hostile work environments. DEI tells us to leave our prejudices at the door, focus on the corporate mission, and give everyone an equal voice. If someone is silenced or an "island of one" their contributions can be silenced due to social factors, and it actually harms the corporation.... Anyways, some people don't understand DEI. It is critical to any work/school environments success or else downfall.
DEI is a scam and (usually) does the opposite of what it claims and leads to exclusion based off of racism, misandry and heterophobia - and typically an intersection of those things. Yes. I know where this comes from and I know it's digusting secrets. If you have a job in this field then study something else quickly as DEI is being shown for what it is: Bigotry disguised as inclusiveness.
