Facebook/Meta still has a black people problem. And a problem with individual contributors who are not white. Black employees still face obstacles to advancement and are less likely than their white peers to be hired, developed, and promoted. And they don't want you to talk about. You talk, you go! #Blackintech
Please mention or give any situation or example
The OP is delusional and set himself up. There are multiple situations of black people being downleveled, offered contract positions, etc. But when this happens people on here claim it’s “playing the race card”. Even when the person has a Stanford PhD Being able to program has nothing to do with emotional intelligence - it seems to be opposite. OP should talk about this with a therapist or other black people. He’s only going to be hounded to “prove” he was treated unfairly on here.
Prepare to face hate and trolls from people on Blind
OP is the accuser who didn't backup with any incident. They put a label on Meta employees and now you are putting a label on blind users. Doesnt help anyone. A troll is just a person who says things that are irrelevant to the conversation to gain attention. Which is what you just did.
OP is venting on an open forum. I am replying to OP by letting him know that this place may not be the most receptive. It’s irrelevant to you. You placed that label on it. I seek no attention only look to state that from my experience, anonymous users, some of whom probably lost spots in school to what they feel are “less deserving” black people, are probably not the best place to vent about unfair treatment of black people. I contributed my opinion. To sum it up more succinctly (tldr;) like someone below said: “these people hate black people”.
It is everywhere in tech. Unconscious bias is something people only combat in training sessions. People in leadership positions tend to hire and promote “people of their own”. So good luck being an Asian dude working for a manager of Russian or French or any other non-Asian origin.
Impossible. They said they don't and they're a company known for spreading nothing but the truth.
😂
How do you think google is doing in terms of diversity
🤡🤡🤡
The truth hurts. That’s why you’re triggered. Go on Linked in look up a black software engineer at Meta. Look at their resumes and education compared to the clowns here.
I gave up the fight now.... my goal is to just continue lc and jump for higher tc.. I know I won't get good projects to work on 🤷♂️.. and as unity 👆said- blind is not the right platform before the mob attack you
I don't understand the resume comment. What should I expect to see?
That the few black people in tech are overqualified and the white people in mid management don’t have the education or experience level of their black peers to explain their position. They jump feom being a pottery major to Director of Engineeeing like Sarah Drasner. A black (or Asian) person couldn’t do that.
Example of bias: a black or Asian person could not do this. Most engineers are more qualified. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahdrasner
This is not uncommon in FANG. I feel like I should have gotten a liberal arts degree but I don't have the right skin color.
I remember overhearing an unguarded convo on which a non racist white manager (had black friends and was cool with me) mentioned he only ever got called a racist when he hired too many diverse candidates, implying there was some safety in hiring white dudes mainly to avoid accusations like the one above taking him out. I think that’s actually a lot of what is going on to shut down opportunities for those not of the tech mono culture like me.
Did you face any bias or notice someone else did?
I gave examples in my post. They have black people from T15s and with high level skills and CS degrees as contractors. Many tech companies have black people as contractors and reach out to black people only for contracts and downlevel. Even senior level. The problem is it’s a waste of time to provide evidence to people who will literally argue with you about how you are mistreated. I don’t know what OP gains from this post tbh other than unsympathetic responses. He still will be making less money whether he posted this or not. OP set himself up to be gaslit. He should go play Red Dead.
You once again said nothing new. You are also not OP. And you also assumed OP's gender.
