Just had my onsite at GitHub for PM. I was flat out told I'd get a recommendation from one of the interviewers because the only other candidate remaining was "some white guy". We're both POC so I guess she thought I was cool with it. I was actually shocked and disappointed. Is this kind of behavior normal or encouraged @ GitHub?
It’s pretty standard behavior in tech. Take advantage of to while you can I guess.
Who gets discriminated the most?
white males by a long shot
Ah so is this why it’s so hard for me to get an offer 🤷🏻♂️
Yes
How do I get hired when all hiring managers are either Indian or Chinese, and the team is mostly the same ethnicity? I haven’t interviewed with a single team that has a white manager.
You were supposed to laugh and joke about how white people have oppressed you. You probably failed the interview now 🤦♂️
Why is that?
Social trend of the day. It's mainly egoistically showing to the world that you are a good person. The person making those comments couldn't give more a fuck about you, they just know that by acting like that they will be seen as the cool guy on the block with the latest best socially acceptable comment
Fake news.
Wow, what a well-founded claim.
I was not on the news my friend. This was a job interview.
What is POC?
Yea, what is POC?
^ this one’s mind is too far brainwashed. Can’t even put together a coherent sentence, poor thing.
yah for sure great dismissal. is a nuanced and rationalized understanding of today’s socioeconomic landscape “brainwashed”? Lmao fucking idiot
GitHub is one of the most SJW companies out there
Yes it is. And stay the fuck away if you think that social justice is a bad thing, we don't want you here.
45% of people here believe racism is the norm at your company and only 12% of people believe the opposite. Seems like you’ve created a culture of exclusion and backed that up by your response. How about you check your own biases to understand why people associate GitHub with racism?
To say that there’s NO discrimination is flat out BIG lie. At my workplace, I have NOT seen a non-Indian resume for a very long time now. From CEO to HM is all Indian. Even the recruiter is!
No kidding. Same experience here. With the random Chinese here and there. We have a diversity problem.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

I haven’t done shit today!
It’s normal in the industry I think. Especially in the bay area or Seattle
I originally came from India and always heard the opposite. mostly from news.
My HR person in a meeting once joked about how she filtered out conservatives. The industry has overcompensated for mistakes in the past (and even present day) going the other way
