I’ve heard it from numerous sources that team in FANG are simply less good in the name of diversity. Meaning, given 2 candidates for a job, if one is better but the other one is a minority - the person from the minority will get the job. Engineers will complain they have to explain things they usually wouldn’t need to, to team members that are less skilled but add to the diversity. Discuss.
Complete BS. Especially in FANG. I‘ve heard from numerous sources that Lizard men are controlling our society btw.
Such is the forced diversity culture we live in.
you probably dont realize how racist/sexist that statement makes you, but thats ok because so many people will support you for it
“All things being equal, the diversity candidate should get the job.” Nope, unfair. All things equal, it should be a random choice between the two. Otherwise it’s discrimination. You’re selecting someone based on their skin color or gender which is WRONG.
are you gathering science for a memo?
Meritocracy doesn’t exist even if diversity is a strategy.
No way. The most qualified person gets the job. If this wasn't the case, there would be much more diversity.
Meritocracy is the new plutocracy
The way diversity is being pursued in tech is very wrong. Fundamentally it's guaranteed to fail and cause more problems than it solves because: 1.) No one has an answer as to why it's OK to use skin color or genitalia as the main factor in hiring. That used to be called racism and sexism 2.) No one has an answer as to when a team is "diverse enough". The diversity push will have to go on for eternity because people apparently need to be forced to diversify
Depends on the reason. If it is empire building with old boy club it is bad. If it is pure meritocracy it is acceptable to me. I have a hard time believing an org with almost all white, all Indian, all men, all Israelis, all Germans, all Chinese, etc are meritocracy based. Typical meritocracy org will have a mix of the above but not exclusive.
This is the problem. It was never a meritocracy anywhere, despite what they claimed.
“Discuss” 😂
Obvious troll attempt is obvious 😂
