re: Reading "Toxic Empathy" this morning and ran across this stat

Aren’t you begging for handouts and programs?

And the people we do business with, are mostly old industrials guys. They don’t like dealing with women

What in the meritocracy is this? So can they do their job or not? Or are you hiring just who is liked?

If it’s just who is liked or who people rather work with, just say that and don’t pull this facade over people, as if it’s merit.

After the bs they pulled with the hires for this current administration, it became as clear as when people had been screaming this (for decades) that merit only matters if you’re not the ruling class.

quote:

---

They cannot do the job

---

Based on what? You’re providing no evidence here but more context about likability?

quote:

---

And the likability part does matter. If you don’t like who you work with, it makes everyone less efficient and increases burnout

---

We’re here to get a job done, not chit chat and gossip and drink beer with our buddies. You’re exposing the exact reason why DEI is needed. Because if it’s the default do what you want, you’ll just make up arbitrary standards for who can do the job. Meanwhile the real measure is not if you can do the job, it’s who wins the popularity contest.

And people generally like to hang out with people similar to them.

quote:

---

Merit includes interpersonal skills, technical skills are the floor/base requirement for a job

---

Is this ranked in terms of priority or not? So are these candidates not likeable and if so what do you not like about them? Or what makes them not have great interpersonal skills?

This sounds like a lot of goal post moving. One day it’s they don’t have the competency. The next day it’s they’re not likeable enough. What is it exactly? So these people can work on this items so they can make themselves more hirable. Or will you even tell us? Doesn’t sound like you want them around at all

quote:

I've been flat out told I couldn't be hired because I was a white guy, twice.

---

I was told the same thing by a recruiter who couldn’t even present me to the hiring manager even though I had the most relevant experience.

Oh please Republicans move the goal post and have different standards for different people that are based in nothing firm other than their perceived social class rankings

Any 'white' male in corporate America who isn't either looking for a way out to start own thing or dumping every penny into retirement accounts/taxable brokerage to cut down the time needed is a fool. I want out of this mess as soon as I can and I do not work for a 'woke' company. My uncle was forced out at IBM because he was a 'white male' in a high ranking position. This is only going to get worse as time goes on and that's not even taking into account AI, Robotics, Automation which many people seem to have their heads in the sand over also. Its coming and it is going to gut white collar jobs just as much as blue collar jobs.

quote:

---

Pure feminist fear porn You fear merit because you lack merit. You only understand merit as applied to the NBA, not the rest of the world. And we know why

---

Scared to actually address what I said? Merit in the NBA and sports actually works there because it has measurable entities that can be applied. In the work force you’re just pitching a popularity contest and not giving people the guidebook on how to win.


But we see who you desperately want to win all the time. Or at least think should win

He's afraid of being rewarded for his own actions, because he has nothing positive to give.

Young White liberal parents in their 30’s & 40’s are about to have life come at them fast when their White sons are not able to get into the elite schools they want to go to & get any jobs in Corporate America.
