I want somebody hired by qualifications & not because some government program forces /shapes who is hired

But most who belive in DEI or similar programs can't see that they don't work

Explain this .... 50 blue workers & 50 purple workers & time for layoffs ... the bottom 25 horrible/bad workers are all blue but according to the government programs you need to keep an even ratio so you layoff 10 blue & 10 purple ... your diversity no longer let's you keep the best workers ... before you say impossible it happens in my field regularly

@pdockal In that case, you want to choose option 2 (and let me guess, the best workers are all White...)

@SW-User

Option 2 ?
I never gave an options

Your so fixated on color of one's skin you can't see what is happening when government steps in & requires quotas

Anytime you hire/fire & consider anything but qualifications its discrimination
Doesn't matter your opionion
Doesn't matter if the best qualified are all *****

but i can see that your do fixated you can't see what happening

@pdockal By the way, this is exactly what Musk is doing. His whole DOGE department basically comprises unqualified teenagers who answer to him, and only to him.

Again your deflecting & bringing up a side bar

If you have an issue with him attack him (which your good at)

He is hiring who he wants
Who are you to say who's qualified ?
Are you an expert ?
Irregardless of the hiring practices do you see ALL the wasted funds they are finding ?

Now I'm doing what you want and changing the subject

Bottom line i don't want the government telling companies who they can & can't hire
If they don't hire people who are qualified i won't use their products but who am i to tell them who to hire ?????
Its very simple

You just keep spewing your hatred and mudding up the water

@pdockal

He is hiring who he wants
Who are you to say who's qualified ?

And that is EXACTLY my point. He is getting rid of DEI because he wants to hire who he wants. He wants people who are loyal to him, and him alone, regardless of qualifications.

He knows he wouldn't be allowed to do that under DEI, which is why he's getting rid of it.

You know I'm right.

@SW-User

Your missing the point ... DEI isn't fair and dictates that you need to hire irregardless of ability to meet criteria that you need x number of blue employees no matter what

Sheesh are you realy that uneducated or do you need help getting employed because you aren't qualified ?????

@pdockal

DEI isn't fair

DEI is fair because you know as well as I do the amount of CVs that are tossed casually into the bin because someone has a foreign sounding name, even if they are the best qualified candidate. There's been mountains of studies done that have shown this time and time again. And THAT is not fair.

But, that aside, let's just remember that you've said, on this thread:

So you don't want the best of the best irregardless of their skin color etc ?????

and

If they don't hire people who are qualified i won't use their products

You are clearly in favour of a meritocratic economy where only those who are the most qualified and experienced should be hired. Fair enought.

But you also believe that better qualified candidates are routinely passed over because they are White. Frankly that's BS: the opposite is true 99% of the time.

You want the best of the best? Well, I've got news for you. Your government no longer has the best of the best. It is fast becoming a hive of unqualified, inexperienced mindless drones, hand-picked by President Musk because they will do HIS bidding.

Musk getting rid of DEI is a MASSIVE distraction, because he hopes that people aren't noticing that he is essentially eviscerating the Federal government and replacing highly experienced, supremely competent government workers with unqualified loyalists who are barely out of school. And that's also why he's furious that judges are exposing him. He's trying to cover his tracks.

You should have a real problem with this. It's concerning that you clearly don't.

@SW-User

OMFG you've really drank the cool ade didn't you
I don't know anybody who thinks that about DEI .... they want it gone
I work amongst a very diverse group
The ones that fit into DEI don't like it because they want to succeed on their own merit and DEI undermines that

Stop trying to confuse things by bringing up Musk

SW-User

@pdockal My post was about Musk all along. It's his DOGE that is destroying DEI. My guess is that you claim I'm confusing things because Musk is making you uncomfortable as well...

The ones that fit into DEI don't like it because they want to succeed on their own merit and DEI undermines that

And by the way, you're seriously trying to tell me that DEI hires wish that they hadn't been hired??

And what do you mean by succeeding "on their own merit" when DEI is the often only way they're going to be even given a chance?

It seems to me that you have an unshakeable belief that a non-White person should never be hired over a White person...
