I recent read an article on USA TODAY and its very disheartning the racism thats occurring in the bay. You would think The Valley would be better than that. Has anyone seen or experience racim while living in the valley? https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2019/11/08/facebooks-current-and-former-black-employees-allege-growing-racism/2534615001/
Ive never in my life seen or heard of a single instance of racism or something that could be perceived as racism at the company. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s never happened unfortunately but I don’t think it happens any more than it does in any other company
What an utter made up bullshite. «Two white employees asked a black program manager to clean up after they finished eating breakfast.» - Hey Latisha, hurry up and clean this mess we’re late to our KKK retrospective at 1pm!
You proved their point with this comment. Nothing has changed. Hope you realize you are speaking for all of Airbnb when you trivialize systemic bias.
Amen Push pin amen
Who defines when a micro-aggression is legitimate or when it’s someone overly sensitive and looking for them?
Never seen it at FB. But hire 30k without picking up racists along the way I suspect would be Impossible. We definitely have reverse racism (?) though at FB, and it's pretty obvious. Sitting in a room over half white dudes and 75% of the presenters being non-white or women happens.
Non white meaning Asian right? Doesnt count as racism.
My org it's not just asian/Indian, but company wide that's probably true. But that's why I left the question mark because I'd say what I see more is gender disjoints, and I couldn't think of the right term. (Reverse discrimination I guess would be the right one) TBH I think it's kind of fucked because if you happen to be female, black, or brown, or god forbid both, you're going to be asked to do a lot of talking; which isn't likely to do much for you at PSC.
I would say not true at all: where I work most of the people are non-white, there are a few posters like "black life matters" and frankly some of those "microaggressions" seem not such: a manager suggesting an employee how to properly speak might have reasons other than racism, couldn't he? Best part: "anyone that is non-white is made to feel fear for their job and their safety to report any bad behaviours". I would rather say "anyone who is not very leftie", but then again that is merely my impression - truth to be told, there is so much social-justice emphasis that I sincerely doubt black people would be actually discriminated on a large scale (not denying that 0% of the employees might have some racist tendency, but the article really seems off).
Walmart is 70% Indian or Chinese also so if there is racism it is most definitely against White and black people.
Another BS story to put Zuck under pressure to ban free speech on his platform. Most tech companies I have worked in at <25% white so what I see is racism from asian/indian against white employees.. that nobody wants to talk about. Do you know any Indian or Asian hiring manager than hires black. I have only seen white and black managers hire black and latino.
Spot on, but i think 25% is high — 10% is more realistic.
Yes and getting worse every year
