I’m pretty sure it’s about the position in general and where she may take the company.
Nothing to do with her as a person
raises hand
Please place me on your ignore list too. Thanks!

Yeah but who is her main? I think that’s most important here.

No real opinion, good for her I guess
However it is great seeing people expose themselves by their anger over it

After reading the posts all I can say is, I knew it. Wow community, predictable as always.
Do you really think the best way to address workplace issues that are a result of decades of bad hiring and promotion practices resulting in a workplace that is mostly male and white and clinging to the bro culture is to continue hiring practices that favor white males who fit into the bro culture?

If only you’d left out the part about “mom’s basement”, more people might have taken your post serious.

you literally had a president saying i am going to only be looking at black woman for Supreme court, i agree it is probably overblown, but it does happen.
irony was she couldn’t define what a woman is, and i am thinking wasn’t that one of Bidens requirements?
This also happened to me personally in college when a great opportunity for informatics students opened up as a internship… but the first requirement was you had to be a woman to even be looked at.
(there was only 1 girl in any/all of my classes, so can’t imagine it’s much worse/better for different years, as the campus had more woman then men ~60/40 was the average I knew at the time I was their)
hate to say it woman on average do not go into IT/programing/data based degree’s. because men in general like things, woman in general like people/ plenty of science backs this up based on biology, but again there is always outliers, like men wanting to become preschool teachers is a very small number.

I just want the best people for the job, not someone who got their position due to skin color or gender.

I hate that there is even a NEED for that sort of position, but facts are that it is needed. The lists of lawsuits against companies, schools, etc over failure to address racial and cultural issues is pretty huge. Decades of it has led to companies finally taking it seriously. Are they going about it the best way possible? Maybe not, but we shall see. Trying is better than not trying.
The biggest fallacy I see on these topics is that they USED to hire fairly based on best candidate. That rarely happened hence all the lawsuits. They would hire:
- Their friend
- Someone they went to school with
- Family/ friend of family
- Someone who from the same town
- Someone they feel similar to - race, religion, gender, school background, hobbies.
NONE of those things have anything to do with best candidate, but they were, and often still are, the final decision makers. It leads to a work, school, or club culture that is pretty similar to each other. They called it “corporate fit”.
The goal is to get people to stop hiring based on personal preferences, and hire based on qualifications regardless of the person’s race/gender/religion/sexuality/region/acquaintances.
Sadly this is why the saying “it is not what you know, it is WHO you know” has been the rule for hiring for most of my life. I am old.
Glad to see a focus on qualifications instead of buddies and cliques. I hope she does well helping folks recognize personal bias and be willing to consider a broader range of qualified candidates.
Also, it may keep them away from lawsuits if frat bro A does not hire and promote buddy frat bro B.

I care about the product too. The issue right now is that it seems they have hired so many incompetent friends of friends over the years that they aren’t capable of producing real content at this point.
Out come the haters.
So why not start their own company? Have it their way?

That sounds like segregation to me. Or something like it.
That was not irony. That was wisely not taking the political hot button topic bait. Her job is to rule on existing law, not to legislate from the bench. As she correctly said - Congress sets the laws, sentencing guidelines, etc. He job is to ensure those laws are correctly implemented in accordance with the Constitution. If Congress wants the definition of “woman” in a law, Congress can write that - because it is their job.
She has more experience than any recent SC candidate by far - and nothing remotely controversial happened - everything was well within the norms for other Federal Judges. She is not an outlier.
This ^^
Right. That is why Blizzard is being sued right now because they were hiring based on skin color and gender. Legally they need to stop doing that. It means a majority white male team where others are forced out or not even hired is not cool.
You have millions of capital investment to do that? Most don’t and it is illegal to discriminate hiring based on gender, race, religion, etc. How about Blizzard just follow the actual law?

What is that political philosophy that states if you don’t like the fact that you aren’t being considered fairly for a job, you should start your own factory and discriminate against the millionaires whose HR department wouldn’t consider you?
I remember now. Libertarians.
Umm, okay?
