No Bonus to Execs who hire Whites/Asians - IBM CEO

IBM is a joke. Their last two good products were the Thinkpad and the Selectric typewriter. Thinkpad is now owned by Lenovo. Who still uses a typewriter?
At my previous job I once was told that I could get another vacancy but only if it went to a diverse candidate. I said: sure, there is an amazing Asian Candidate. The answer was: this is not diverse. Latino or Black males only. More flexibility with women.
That's disgusting and it's amazing how they can say it while thinking themselves as a good person
More manufactured outrage from the right.
I hope Trump 47 will ban federal contracts to companies who participate in such blatant racial discrimination.
DEI is racism and it's adherents are racists. I hope IBM gets sued and they lose all .gov contracts.
When you're accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression.
Does the percentage of Latino and Black males in Tech or with STEM degrees match that of the general US population? That’s the assumption that IBM’s CEO seems to be implicitly making.
No it does not. It's below....so this is primarily a pipeline issue. A large % of the jobs at IBM are probably non-technical though. Keep that in mind.
IBM has been a shitty company for years and no real talents would work there anyway.
The practice of preferring black and latino candidates to asians and white is in theory defensible. They are underrepresented. So are whites, but they are ok overall, so let’s say it doesn’t matter. What’s not defensible is simultaneous claims of “white supremacy” being a problem. In every single situation, a black or latino candidate will be preferred over a white or asian, all other things being equal. No exceptions anywhere in high tech, academia, or any other highly desirable place. The only question is how dramatically better an asian should be before the probability starts somewhat balancing out.
