It’s about identifying and undoing existing discrimination. If you find no existing discrimination, then you don’t have to do anything.
You seem very emotional on the topic. Have you convinced yourself that you lost a job because of DEI? I hate to break it to you, you lost that job because of you. No one is hiring quotas.
No, no. I’ve never lost a job. I just have a very low tolerance for morons or wokeness. DEI is all about hiring quotas. Hiring the best person for the job isn’t discrimination. Hiring someone because they’re not white, straight or male is.
I’ve been a hiring manager for over a decade. We have a robust DEI program. Not once has there been a quota.
And in fact, the hiring process is really bad at finding the “best” candidate, whatever that is. How can a few hours in an interview tell you about someone’s work ethic or abilities?
Your understanding of the hiring process is horribly naive. There is no best person for the job. It’s not a puzzle and pieces. You meet lots of people and do your best to find someone who can do the work. And you do so, knowing that people and process DO have built in biases because everything does. There’s no magic perfect fair process.
You WANT to believe it’s merit based and there’s quotas. But reality isn’t like that.
In the UK it’s called positive discrimination, because it’s just that. Discrimination, you bigot.
