Should I voice my opinion on diversity to my manager?
My manager is usually super cool, not politically correct kind of guy. But yesterday he just returned from a diversity an inclusion summit, and he got flipped. He started wearing "inclusion embassador" t-shirts, and talks about assigning an "inclusion engineer" in the team. He talks about how this summit made him realize his white male privilege (to a team of 90% chinese/Indian), and that gender is fluid. He said he is going to talk about it with us in 1:1s. Should I voice my opinion which goes against the orthodoxy, or pretend to agree with everything? He could easily do nothing about it, but it might be a risk...
Don’t go against the grain, just pretend and agree ...
Also why’s it a bad thing that a white male is noticing his privilege?
White dude managing 90% minority workers (in b4 casual racism towards asian men) thinking about diversity, sounds pretty “cool” to me bro
Don’t voice your opinions. They sound crappy and will get you in trouble.
Yes. You should make sure you tell him which kind of people you dislike the most too. Radical candor, OP
Change teams.
Make sure he nominates you for the next diversity summit so that you end up woke af.
Or promote them up, it gets whiter and whiter up the chain
No, they shouldn’t be promoted, because Indians hire Indians, whole company will be just Indians after that.
If he believes it he should have asked to be demoted re leveled and let a D&I become the manager.
Nope.
