Why does C1 talk about Diversity & Inclusion, yet those at the top definitely do not reflect diversity. I am finding that there are very few women and people of color at the tops of various orgs. Have you found that CapitalOne all talk?
Diversity and inclusion is BS at every company. Sure, they try to hire diversely at an entry/IC level, but they don't make the environments good enough for those people to stay. And they certainly don't actively care about diversity at higher levels.
It’s check box activity. They don’t have diversity in C suite or even at executive level because of unconscious bias.
It's been my experience that when I've encountered leadership that is diverse they tend to stick to the BAU script.
BAU?
Business as usual or the same old same old hiring of non diverse talent.
Look at it this way...if forcing diversity and inclusion was profitable, they would be doing it already, and there is no need to have the forced diversity.
Funny slightly off-topic story -- I recently toured an all-girls private school for my daughter, the rankings say it's the #1 top all-girls school in the country. They had a very long presentation on diversity and inclusion, they pushed it VERY hard saying things like "students learn best when they're surrounded by people with different background and viewpoints. We need to value *EVERY* viewpoint, learn from *EVERY* perspective, celebrate *EVERY* difference, involve *EVERYONE* in our community. We want to invite people who are different than ourselves. " But I kept thinking -- this is an all-girls school! How can you claim you value "involving people who are different than ourselves" if you're deliberately excluding boys? Or is it just that some kinds of "diversity of thought" are good but other kinds are not worth having?
Why would you put your child in an all girls school in the first place?
It has to start somewhere, so why not where the pool is the largest.
To be fair, there has been some decent diversity progress at the VP level in the past 3 years. Are we at desired target state? No, but You can’t expect to accomplish it over night.
Diversity is a trophy thing for capital one. They spend more money in advertising that they are diverse vs actually embracing jt. There is absolutely zero diversity of thoughts at capital one. It works in a certain way and everyone is expected to talk like a polished white male.
IIRC FB has like only 40% of white males in leadership and considering US are about 85% white, that is not do bad. I will stick to my guns and demand for candidates to be evaluated only on relevant skills, not shallow genetic traits or sexual orientation, but I would like to know what all the supporters of this ideology think about garbage collection (the smelly, physical one), oil rigs or construction workers, where for example we have a glorious 0% female representation. Why the fight for "equality" I'd always only for the comfy, high-pay jobs in tech or politics? Also, what do we do with roles like nurses, HRs and teachers? Should we send home a good chunk of their 90% female workers and get more men there to balance an asymmetry that is more marked than the one in tech?
Non-hispanic white people are ~62% as of 2016. So roughly 30-32% non-hispanic white males in USA Population
The rest of the world usually considers Hispanic to be mostly white, but - whatever, it would not make a massive difference in the distribution we are discussing now: care to address also my other points? Or to tell us why Asians and Indians are vastly "overrepresented" in tech or black people in arts or sports, if there's this white supremacist discrimination going on?
Every company is this way.
