somehow i doubt that you lost sleep when unvaccinated employees were being fired. hypocritical POS

What % of people of a company generate revenue for said company? “Need product” is cost of goods sold - nope Deliver product to customers is delivery expense - nope Marketing creates demand but is sales promotion and advertising and ATL/BTL expense - nope Customer operations sends the invoice to customer - nope On and on goes the not revenue generating train

Your definition of non revenue generating is terrible

As I said, sales needs a product or service to sell and there is execution on that product or service required to deliver to the customer. So yes, they are directly tied to revenue.

Btw I’m not in sales but sales can’t do their job without me, so yes, I’m in a revenue generating position

Yes, sales can be bloated, but that’s never where you start.

The only checks a company cannot afford to write to a sales person are small ones.

Well as it should be the most useless employees are the first out.

guess I take issue with the diversity part of the DEI being useless. We use LSS principles all the time to drive down costs and identify opportunities. A diverse and outside the box set of ideas is crucial to LSS. Getting people from diverse backgrounds helps immensely in that Kaisen world.

Maybe it depends on industry. My industry is pretty binary. Getting an opinion from a black person vs a white person is not relevant in any way shape or form.

All the DEI group has done is foist upon us people who are not qualified. All of our diversity hires have flamed out. We do have diverse people in our group but they were actually qualified, so they have done well.

It’s also hilarious that Asian and Indian folks no longer qualify as “diverse” in our company. We get no DEI credit when we hire them. It’s such a joke. We have also never, ever been pressured to hire a Hispanic person. It’s never come up. We all know what DEI really means.

We would never, ever hire a white male with the background the DEI candidates have. They’d never even get an interview

There are positions in our company where these diversity hires could likely succeed. But no, we need to treat every division the same, so we put them in technical positions and set them up to fail. All so we can feel good about ourselves and DEI folks can have a job. It’s impossible to fire them but luckily they typically self select out due to the pressures of the job.

I am shocked at how stupid you are in every single thread.

It's not ignorance regarding one topic, you are legitimately the dumbest person on this website.

Lastly, what surprises me the most is how you feel compelled to say something in every thread, even when you have nothing of value to add. This shows just how stupid you are.

Not only that, but he openly votes for all of the policies that lead to this sort of bullshite, then tries to mock anyone that disagrees with his stupid ideals.

The ultimate "useful idiot"

Get fricked. These people would have gleefully had me and every other unvaccinated white male sent to an extermination camp last year. Yes, I'm happy to see these people lose their jobs and I hope they have to live under an overpass for the rest of their lives.

This isn't a case of bad things happening to good people. This is a case of bad things happening to awful people, and I can't say I'm terribly upset about it.

Let's hope colleges are next.University
of Michigan has a DEI staff of 163 and a quarter make over 100k

No issue with diversity, but the only diversity that matters is of thought.

It seems these companies still love generalizing and stereotyping by race to get "diverse thought" using gender and race as a filter.


Seems backward and lazy.

You can forget colleges doing this. They live in an alternate reality where they use YOUR money to carry out all of their clown world fantasies. These people could never survive in the real world. Higher Ed is a protected bubble of useless degrees while people rake in lots of money for doing nothing.

Of course, these same people would exterminate you in a heartbeat, you know, because tolerance.
