Suddenly it becomes incredibly apparent why you can't find a job/get promoted.

So the Fortune 100 only hired ~300,000 people over a five-year period?? I'm as against DEI as anybody but that number seems ridiculously low given it probably wouldn't cover normal attrition, much less any growth after COVID of the combined top 100 companies in the world. That number might be true if the stat is restricted to "corporate office hires" only, but even then I'd question it.

Well, this mediocre person can at least find a job and get promoted.

I guess only exceptional people like the crybabies in this thread have trouble finding jobs and securing promotions.

I'm retired. I don't need a job. Planned properly & debt free. My wife & I are living the high life.

I paid in thousands upon thousands of thousands so you could set your fat arse on your couch & have kids with homeless guys.

I guess the high life includes calling strangers a "whore" on the internet. I can only hope retirement treats me so well.

You apparently have a warped, inaccurate view of England and the U.S.
I question the data in the OP. It’s way too tidy and convenient…

I’ve never heard of “Toxic Empathy” but I’ve long said that empathy is a vice.

Or rather, having empathy itself isn’t a vice but making public policy based on empathy is a recipe for disaster.

I was turned down by the telephone company in my area over 50 years ago. I did well on the test and was asked to stay while everyone left the room besides me and a young white girl. The girl was hired and I was told to come back every 6 months and renew my application. I said that the reason that i took the test is because I found out that they were hiring about 60 new employees. The young black woman who tested us gave a smirk and said, we are. But before we hire you, we have to make our quota on blacks and women. This same stuff has been going on for over 50 years. It is not a new thing.

I've been out of the corporate world for 20 years, has it really got that bad?


As a very qualified, experienced white male who has had to look for work a couple times the last few years... Yes. It is terrible. And these stats, among others I have seen, confirm what I thought a major part of the issue might be.

I guarantee you it was an even lower percentage of white males hired from 2021 to January 2025.

I was told by my manager to only focus on hiring racially diverse candidates and women.


I would have immediately asked my manager: “Are you telling me to discriminate against white men?”

I would have emailed them following the meeting and copied their manager advising that I will not partake in illegal hiring practices. Furthermore, I would have said that I will be referring this immediately to HR for my own protection. I would have also advised that any further requests to alter hiring practices to discriminate against any group could cause me to file a complaint with the US Dept of Justice and the state AG’s office.

Am I supposed to apologize for reading the thread? Can you point out the post in this thread from a non-white man complaining about not getting hire or being passed over for a promotion for being a white man?

Good grief.

Absolutely not.

It's the best you can do. You're eaten up with SJW violent anger.

You're just being you, and it's pretty damn funny because it skirts reality.
