    Your statement is not based on fact. The DEI created metrics that federal employment and federal contractors were required to meet related to DEI.

    it’s more on the lines of, one of the women quit so we can only interview women because otherwise we won’t meet our required diversity goal.

    Your statement is the dream goal and not the actual case.

      I see no facts in your statement either.

      And just because something is difficult to achieve automatically means it’s wrong to try?

      I’m sure this happens but isn’t it just gaming the system, rather than taking the goal seriously?

      It’s exactly like the claim that standardized testing tends to make schools teach to the test rather than teach the subject. Yeah, it happens but it’s not the goal nor what must teachers want to do. It’s a failure at the policy level or a failure of the metrics that creates pressure to game the system

        Dude, just look up the 3 cue system vs phonics. Talk about teaching to a system… Based on the are of the standard forum user you were likely a 3 cue learner and I’m truly sorry. No exaggeration I’ve read 1000s of books in my life and I can’t imagine struggling to read. I’m sorry.

          No, I may act like a 12 year old at times, but I’m not. Both phonics and 3 cue seems like strange ideas

      Please just stop. It is explicitly illegal to hire based on any quota in the federal government or for federal contractors.

      https://www.huschblackwell.com/newsandinsights/ofccp-investigates-companies-for-diversity-hiring-plans

      The point of affirmative action is to hire so that the composition of a contractor’s workforce reflects, over time, the composition of qualified workers in the relevant labor market from which applicants are recruited and selected.

      This just boils down to if there are women and minorities in the field they should be considered instead of just white males.

      I am really getting sick of all the DEI propaganda. Jesus Christ, I am a hiring manager and I have taken multiple DEI trainings. There are no quotas and the entire point is to get an average hiring manager, which are mostly white males, to consider hiring someone different than themselves.

        You have taken zero FEDERAL DEI training programs. This is obvious by the article you linked and your comment. DEI had no effect outside of working in a federal position or federal contractor. Honestly if I were you I’d be embarrassed of this post. Of course that was when I thought I was on lemmy. I didn’t realize the education level had already dipped to reddit levels.

        Btw the DEI explicitly contradicts the civil rights act of 1962 and the protected characteristics of hiring someone and actually makes them the deciding factor. So maybe do 10 mins of research and you will probably change your mind. I understand independent research is difficult but I promise the payoff is worth it.

          Please tell me what I have or have not done. I highly doubt you have administered grants for the federal government, hired hundreds of people, worked at the state, or really know anything at this point.

          Honestly, after I explained the law you should have crawled back under your rock.

          Btw you have no clue what DEI is because you never had the training yourself. I have many times in both the private sector and the public sector. Also you are not a hiring manager like I am so you have no expertise or clue what you are babbling about.

          If you continue to make a buffon out of yourself I will happily block you.

            The true skilled arguer. Upset that I tell you what you have or have not done and then proceed to do the exact same thing.

            You didn’t answer the question. Regardless of who’s more right, the end result is the same. There are diversity “goals or mandates” whatever you want to call it. So you are actively looking for people to fill roles based on protected characteristics. Do you not agree this is a direct contradiction of the civil rights act of 1962?
