re: If women/minorities earn less, why are they being disproportionately affected by layoffs?

Companies keep their most valuable resources during layoffs and walk the least valuable out the door.

Male/Female/Thing...it doesn’t matter. Successful companies are successful for a reason and I promise you they aren’t just “feeling” like laying off more woman then men during tough times like the woke nation thinks. Cut and dry, you’re either valuable or your not and a company is going to choose to fire their “Director of Cultural Inclusion” before their top engineers. It’s just business.
