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?
We only have one type of bathroom at HQ it's weird.
Is that “pee behind the bushes”?
Fashion is a diverse industry (at least, in recent decades) and that influences our corporate side, although we do have a majority of one gender in certain roles. Some tech diversity efforts I've observed at my company (like the ADA program) do a good job of including people who thrive in apprenticeship settings. I do wish there was something like ADA that wasn't just for women, but I appreciate that it exists. To me it shows there are leaders here who aren't just paying lip service, so I'm hopeful we can continue on that track and not treat diversity like a vanity metric where we hire more women and boom, problem solved..
I don't which team are talking about but I worked at Nike for couple of teams and worked along with couple of other teams, they all seem pretty diversified.
Here at Amazon we all get off on hiring women and minorities even if it means lowering the bar for them so we can enjoy our social justice bonners
And then they perform poorly, but HR has a panic attack about PIP’ing any diverse candidates, so then they eat up head count and bloat projects. So in other words: quite diverse, and quite mediocre. Bringing in more women/non whites, in practice, means bringing incompetence, simply because the underlying cultures, and self-interests therein, for different races and the female gender *do not like the work*. They don’t bring in new ideas, and they don’t bring innovation, broadly speaking, in practice. Diversity hiring is unnatural and breaks basic meritocratic function. We should have simply hired based on skill, and let the free people live however they want. Also, diversity hiring is racist and sexist.
Much insight
