Just a meme, but also a reality for many companies.
There seems to be a trend in Silicon Valley - some companies are hijacked under the pressure of workplace diversity. In order to compensate the minorities, companies consciously or unconsciously lower the hiring bar for them. Recently I've seen and heard a lot of female candidates get hired much ea...Read more
At MSFT, 90% of my immediate team is Indian. Often during stand up they include Hindi phrases during small talk with each other lol it feels like I am invisible to them. Wondering which tech company has good balance in terms of race, gender, age, nationality, etc. PS: It’s not that they talk in H...Read more
Which ones do you know? I will start first: as far as I know, Walmart Global Tech, it is like 95% lacking... only 5% diversity. #diversity
Can anyone provide examples of when having a diverse workforce really benefitted their company ? I’m trying to compile evidence for this
Twitter: Yes If You Are Black Or Female Or Trans Or All The Above, DM Me. I Can Help You Jump The Line. If You Are White/Indian/Asian Male, No Need To Dm Me (politely Saying Gtfo). TC: 440k
How's diversity at the company where you work? Despite all the Kaepernick stuff Nike seems pretty behind on actually making our team and culture good for women and POC. What's the situation at your company?
I’m really worried by the effect that forced diversity quotas will have in general quality of products and team morale. Also, I believe it’s important to be coherent and vote with your feet if necessary. Is there any relevant-esque company that is not forcing diversity quotas? I’m cool with, and ac...Read more
What are some tech companies with good IC diversity? Joined FB very recently and it seems like every team is all Chinese internationals. Nothing against them as people, but many tend to stick together and have trouble communicating effectively. Although I sympathize with their difficulties it mak...Read more
It's time we put our money where our mouth is. Since most companies don't hire diverse workforces (according to visionaries like Bozoma St John), maybe we can force their hand through boycott. Thoughts?
This is my fourth company in 8 years and it seems like every single one has a diversity quota that is either explicitly enforced (thru bonuses tied to diversity outcomes) or soft enforced (you suffer career repercussions for hiring non-DEI approved ppl) What I don’t get is that there are some all A...Read more
I keep hearing about how diverse companies perform better than non-diverse ones. Does anyone have studies that proves this true? What if you have a company that has a large representation of european, indian, middle eastern, and asian, but not much black or latino representation? is that company co...Read more
In large US corporations there's an emphasis on hiring "diversity" candidates and promoting them to leadership positions. At Microsoft this year a very large percentage of interns are underrepresented minorities or women, so presumably there was some preference in hiring that occurred there. What'...Read more
I personally don’t think this is case but curious to hear other opinions especially FAANG companies like Meta who has been trying to appear as more diverse since 2020. I mean in this market, they are not going to cut corners when it comes to the hiring bar and only hire the best. Maybe it only hel...Read more
I've heard certain companies like Microsoft (at least a long time ago) had diversity quotas where for every job they had to have at least 1 candidate who was part of the target group (i.e. black, latinx, female etc). Are there any companies actively doing this currently? (I know its mostly a dog an...Read more
With so many companies having chief diversity officers, we still have diversity issues. Why are there so few black software engineers?
FYI and first of all "I am Indian", so this is not a racist post...but a post about pain point (office politics) I work in microsoft, which in my opinion in 90% indians because I mostly see indians in office. I heard from my friends that it's the same thing in Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Uber ...Read more
Does a company get tax breaks due to good diversity?
