Our company was about to fire a black manager, but waited til he got his manager level bonus that all the managers got, before they fired him.
No doubt in my mind they did this because POC.

i was told this type of thing did not exist and even suggesting that it did was far right rhetoric.


That’s a play right out of the leftist playbook:

1. What you think is happening is definitely not happening.

2. It’s happens, but only rarely.

3. It’s happening and it’s a good thing.

4. You’re racist/sexist/misogynist/homophobic if you don’t support what’s happening.

I said that I think that a defense contractors playing Dei games is a bad idea. How is that melting? lol
I think you’re emotionally attached to this subject in some form. Hence the emotional response. What aspect of this story affects you on a personal level?

No, no it’s not. It’s racism. If you defend DEI, you are a racist.

I'm half considering it, I was passed over for promotion. A chick got promoted over me despite me having a phd and 5+ years experience on her

Burden of proof is now on them to show that it wasn’t DEI based.

“Culture of noncompliance”.

My bet is depending on what state you’re in they would at least make a settlement offer, but going back to work there would be tough so it might depend on how much you like your current role.

You can't just take a word, misapply it, and then own it as if you're using it correctly.

DEI is only racist to dense, low intelligence people that do not believe history matters in any discussion. When taken into full consideration, you're basically just saying the past doesn't matter.

Would the bank feel that way about your credit score? The Judge about your criminal history?

Yeah that's about the sort of response I'd expect. Nothing to actually back up your claim just a bunch of dumb emojis


They hate DEI because it just slightly takes the advantage that they've always had: friends and buddies hiring them and promoting them solely through the good old boys network.

Now they actually have to work a little harder because those that didn't benefit from that are just as talented or more talented than them and they know it. And it makes them feel very insecure that people that can go through all those hardships can still be 30x better than them or just as good. Deep down they know it. And it scares the bejeezus out of them.

In none of your posts do you actually mention that what they were doing is wrong, all you say is it’s illegal.

The irony of posting this in a thread where quite literally the exact opposite of this is what happened is palpable.

It’s a simple question: was this wrong, yes or no. Anyone should be able to answer that

This is just like communism/socialism advocates. Ignore how these ideas are actually practiced and cling to some utopian definitions of what they are.

This thread is VERY typical in terms of highlighting the progressive's need to gas light Americans and their political enemies into oblivion.

Four pages, and nearly 90% of the replies are two progressive sociopaths that are writing novels telling you what you are seeing and reading isn't real.

I don't know what is worse, those willing to lie so blatantly, or those who try to debate these liars.

Ignore reality...it is their final, most essential command.
