re: Any direct interaction with diversity hires? Screw DEI

I dealt with a guy who had a lot of pull in HR (and probably the threat of lawsuits) and there was a short period where probably 50%-70% of engineering hires came from Tuskegee.
Don't hire engineers from Tuskegee.

At this point any black person in an office job is a diversity hire in my book from the start, until they figure out how to prove me otherwise. Some prove they are worthy quickly, and many prove my initial hypothesis true quickly.
That mindset is no more racist then what gotten them moving up the ranks from school and into their position.

Don’t worry. The lawsuits will fly after the hires as well.

The idea is that you need to do their work for them or double-slot the position with somebody who will competently do all of the work.
Larry Elder tells a story about a friend of his in a Chicago law firm that told him they have to double/triple check all the work done by their diversity hires.

OMG, I had to work with a 'diverse' person one time, it was horrible. Not only were they slow and didn't know anything, they smelled like lotion.
Thank God for white people. I've never had a problem working with any of them.

I had to work with a guy so stupid he didn't understand what a "diversity hire" was. It was sad.

I worked with a guy like that too, he couldn't read between the lines. It was sad.
But he was white, so I didn't really have any problem with him.

Are you forced to hire a certain # of honkies?

Don’t you find it ridiculous that the Federal Law of EEOC requires companies NOT to hire based on sex, race, etc… but yet I have to hire people to fill a federal requirement in order for my company that I own to be “balanced” so I DON’T get charged federally for breaking the EEOC law? Balanced was the term used by the EEOC lawyer in my deposition, and yes I proved my point with the above statement to the Federal Government lawyer hack citing their own BS law. I won my case.
DEI hires including the ones done at LSU, BR DPW ETC…. are a joke. None qualified individuals getting hired so your company looks racially diverse according to your government. So we are back to hiring based on race and sex.
How about letting me hire the most qualified person that I interviewed to help my company make more money so I can hire even more people that need a job.

Nope. I'm not forced to hire anyone.

Have color-blind Aptitude Tests fallen out of favor? Are you considered "racist" if you require them as a measure of talent?
Posted on 12/21/23 at 10:12 am to tigerpawl
We have two. They both sat out a year during covid while the rest of us came into work and worked.

Yes and he was fired 6 months later for going awol 3 times.

Who cares?
If you are, you are. It's not against the law to be prejudiced against people who don't look like you.

I would dispute that claim, do business on contract with the federal government and you will quickly learn your company must be “balanced” as they told me when bidding on jobs here in Louisiana and I F-ing live here!
I had to have a certain percentage of whites, blacks, Latinos and veterans.
This was for installing RTU’s, roof top units for my air conditioning business on federal buildings in New Orleans.
I turned down the job and removed my bid.

You could, but you'd be responding to an "ackchyually" troll.

In general, they tell you whatever you want to hear and then leave you hanging in the wind while deadlines approach. When later confronted, they simply deny they said what they said. Accountability and reason seem to be foreign concepts to them. They are experts at raising expectations - and having them dashed.
Hence emails are the best choice, unless you're negotiating with them because they don't pay attention to verbal math or take notes

That's great. And for all I know, that may be because you are apart of the group that is forced upon companies.
You come in this thread acting like it's not an issue that there are companies forced to hire certain people based only on their gender and/or race, but you probably dont face that. Can hire only your own and no one will bug you about it, which is the way it should be. But it's not. That's the problem.
