Glad to see forced arbitration gone. That was a big one for me.

This is going to annoy a lot of people when I say it but I donât care. I would rather they hire people on their merits than because they are "diverse[/quote]
50% target of hiring women and minorities leads to 5000% increase in people suddenly concerned about merit.
The only way this can bother you is if you donât think women and minorities are capable of the same merit men are

It should not annoy anyone, it should be a HUGE red flag. When a company starts hiring people on anything besides merit and ability the quality of their products go WAY down. Being âwokeâ does not make a business flourish, it actually hurts business in the long run.
Consumers only care about the product. They do not care who works at your company.

It was about time too. So many companies had already gotten rid of it.

Wrong I would have expected them to hire the best people they could always. Letely that seems to have been doing terribly which is why I have been voicing my displeasure over aspects of the game for a long time. Check my post history.
No this bothers me because they have explicitly said they will have a criteria in addition to âbest candidateâ. I honestly donât care who makes the game but when they are hiring on more than just who would make it best then they wonât be making it best.

SoâŚ
if one believes hiring should be based on merit, then they donât believe women or minorities have merit?
Sorry, no. That is illogical by definition.
Employers shouldnât make any decision based on your personal traits or characteristics beyond what competencies you bring to the business. Period.

Why do you assume women donât have merit? Especially when Blizz were sued partially for not promoting women who were more qualified then men?

I donât and neither did they in the post you replied to (Idk their personal history so wonât comment on it).
All I am saying is that if someone has merit then hire them. Stop checking their anatomy because itâs not relavent. If they are the best candidate give them the job. Why should it go further than that?

Maybe not at Blizzard, but a number of studies and surveys describe terminations of positions held by members of the majority group often increasing during diversity hiring efforts, most particularly in small businesses or those otherwise operating on thin margins.
Well good news for all of you that are nervous. There are plenty of qualified women in the industry. A lot of them that were victims of what was going on at Blizz.

Perfect example right there. You are flat out lying when you say that I assume women do not have merit. I never said that, you are making that up and putting words in my mouth that I did not say.
I said they should hire solely based on merit, no other factors should be considered.

Awesome. Then if they are the best candidate for the job hire them. Thatâs what I said.
See. Hire them in their merits. Aka if they are good hire them. Full stop.

Well there are women who have merit, so likely theyâll hire one of the thousands already in the industry.

Did you read the link at all⌠or are you just brandishing your torch for no apparent reason?
Yes there absolutely are. But you are defending a quota system where it is not based on merit.

They are just saying they are hiring more diverse people. They never said unqualified. You assumed that.

Except they donât do that hence why they have to enforce it. Cause people arenât completely unbiased. Studies show that people with the same exact experience go against each other the person with the white name gets chosen wayyyyy more likely.
Humans have biases and itâs hard to break through it for many. The only true way for it to happen is if they only show credentials, no in person interview, and no names and many would find a reason to complain about that too.
Humans are pathetic idiots we need all the help we can get

Now you are making stuff up yet again. I never said qualified or unqualified, I clearly stated âmeritâ which by very definition means most qualified.
You are defending including factors other than merit. Stop pretending otherwise.

Which they never said they are hiring people without that.

If the hiring process was completely unbiased then it goes without saying the company would have already been diverse as we know people from all walks of life are just as qualified for the position.
However we donât see that. So if your against diversity hiring then you must think that people of different walks of life t qualified to begin with and thatâs why they werenât hired.
