The NYT: The Stupidest, Most-Ill-Educated Group In America -- the Corporate Leadership Class -- Begins to Realize That "Diversity Training," Far From Healing Racial Rifts, Actually Causes Racial Division
They are both the arsonists -- and the lavishly-compensated "firefighters" who take millions to save us all from the fire!Why Some Companies Are Saying 'Diversity and Belonging' Instead of 'Diversity and Inclusion'Now, don't get too excited. As I said, the corporate leadership class is the weakest-minded and most craven group of "leaders" in the world. Don't expect them to openly denounce DEI. Mostly they're changing the terminology and emphasis, away from constant divisiveness to more talk about "belonging." And they're increasingly paying a different set of race-grifters to be their Diversity Gurus, walking away from the grifters who preached racial hatred, towards grifters who preach that through our differences, we just become more alike. Or crap like that. They're still wasting millions of shareholder dollars on race grifters, but a slightly less disgusting group of grifters. That's progress, at least as much of it as we can expect from our corporate class.
The changing terminology reflects new thinking among some consultants, who say traditional D.E.I. strategies haven't worked out as planned.
One of the Old School Diversity Grifters doesn't like these phoney-baloney jobs going to the New School Diversity Grifters.
By Jennifer Miller Woodward is a 153-year-old aerospace company that required its male employees to wear bow ties into the 1990s. So Paul Benson, the company's chief human resources officer, knew that creating a companywide diversity, equity and inclusion program would require a seismic shift. "Look at our org chart online, and we're a lily-white leadership team of old males," he said. But employees were eager for a more inclusive culture. "People want to feel like they belong," Mr. Benson said. "They want to come to work and not feel like they have to check themselves at the door." Last summer, Mr. Benson started searching for a diversity consultant who was up to the task. He hoped to find a relatable former executive "who had seen the light."
Instead, a Google search led him to a Black comedian and former media personality named Karith Foster. She is the chief executive of Inversity Solutions, a consultancy that rethinks traditional diversity programming. Ms. Foster said companies must address racism, sexism, homophobia and antisemitism in the workplace. But she believes that an overemphasis on identity groups and a tendency to reduce people to "victim or villain" can strip agency from and alienate everyone -- including employees of color. She says her approach allows everyone "to make mistakes, say the wrong thing sometimes and be able to correct it." Mr. Benson was convinced. He hired Ms. Foster to give the keynote address at Woodward's leadership summit last October. Shortly after taking the stage, she asked everyone to close their eyes and raise their hands in response to a series of provocative questions: Had they ever locked the car when a Black man walked by? Had they thought, yes, Jewish people really are good with money? Had they questioned the intelligence of someone with a thick Southern accent? Audience members raising their hands in response to a series of questions during Karith Foster's presentation. People raised their hands tentatively, even fearfully. By the time Ms. Foster finished, nearly every hand -- including her own -- was up. "Congratulations. You're certified human beings," she said. "It's not about being right or wrong but understanding when bias comes into play." Mr. Benson was relieved. "I was at a table with somebody who started the whole thing with his arms folded," he recalled. "His body language said this dude's not a believer. Halfway through, he's laughing and clapping."
Ms. Foster, he said, helped people "feel OK with themselves, like maybe you haven't been an activist or on this journey in your past, but let's see how we can move forward." In other words, she helped them feel that they belonged in the conversation. The question of belonging has become the latest focus in the evolving world of corporate diversity, equity and inclusion programming. ... Now, nearly three years since [the Mostly Peaceful George Floyd riots unleashed an invasion of DEI hucksters on the world], some companies are amending their approach to D.E.I., even renaming their departments to include "belonging." It's the age of D.E.I.-B.
Some critics worry it's about making white people comfortable rather than addressing systemic inequality, or that it simply allows companies to prioritize getting along over necessary change. "Belonging is a way to help people who aren't marginalized feel like they're part of the conversation," said Stephanie Creary, assistant professor of management at the Wharton School of Business who studies corporate strategies for diversity and inclusion. She believes an abstract focus on belonging allows companies to avoid the tough conversations about power -- and the resistance those conversations often generate. "The concern is that we are just creating new terms like belonging as a way to manage that resistance," Ms. Creary said.
Corporations are just figuring out that constantly pitting one race against another tends to, get this, pit one race against another.
The nonpartisan nonprofit Business for America recently interviewed more than two dozen executives at 18 companies and found this to be a common theme. "The way they've rolled out D.E.I. has exacerbated divides even while addressing valuable issues," said Sarah Bonk, BFA's founder and chief executive. "It has created some hostility, resentment." It's why companies like Woodward are now hiring consultants who specialize in "belonging" and "bridge building." They are coming to the aid of executives who fear that national divisions are penetrating the workplace, threatening to drive a wedge between colleagues and making everyone feel anxious and defensive. Professor Creary agrees these are real problems. "I can see that corporations want to have a structured conversation around how allowing all of us to thrive will help us all collectively," she said. But she worries "belonging" gives cover to people who would rather maintain the status quo. "There's still a large percentage of people who have a zero sum mind-set," she said. "If I support you, I am going to lose." The belonging obsession is the result of a now-widespread corporate standard: Bring your whole self to work. If you have the flexibility to work wherever you want, and the freedom to discuss the social and political issues that matter to you, then ideally, you'll feel that you belong at your company. Bring your whole self to work emerged before the pandemic but became something of a mandate at its height, as companies tried to stanch a wave of resignations.Why are people bringing "their whole selves" to work? All that is required or wanted is your work self, your professional self. But now leftwingers are being told to bring in their insane, insipid politics. Notice that Christians are not being invited to bring their whole Christian selves to work. You're not allowed to have "tough conversations" about race on social media -- but you're encouraged to have them all day long at work. Does that sound right to anyone?
... Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist and professor at N.Y.U.'s Stern School of Business, wishes we weren't having this conversation about identity and belonging. "At a time of rising political polarization, many people's whole selves don't fit with the whole selves of their colleagues," Mr. Haidt, a self-described centrist, said. "I've heard from so many managers. They can't stand it anymore -- the constant conflict over people's identities."Malignant narcissists gonna malignate.
Don't call her a "tool," New York Times. I mean she is, obviously, but it's unprofessional to say out loud. Let subtext do your work for you.
In 2017, he and a colleague, Caroline Mehl, started the Constructive Dialogue Institute, whose main product is an educational platform called Perspectives. The tool uses online modules and workshops...
... to help users explore where their values come from and why people from different backgrounds might have opposing values. ... Already, the platform has helped the company navigate some complex political situations. Last June, a 26-year-old human resources coordinator named Shakara Worrell was in a meeting when she learned that the Supreme Court had overturned Roe v. Wade. "The entire meeting stopped," Ms. Worrell said. "That's when I realized, I'm not the only one whose heart just dropped."The workplace -- the perfect place for debating Roe v. Wade, obviously. Except, of course, debate is not permitted. You can "bring your whole self to work" only if "your whole self" mouths all the leftwing positions on every issue.
Ms. Worrell, who is mixed race, said she came to Allegis partly because the company prioritized belonging. She recalls reading news of police brutality at her previous job and feeling that she had to suppress her feelings. "I just remember sitting in my cube and not being able to just voice my opinions," Ms. Worrell said. She remembered thinking: "I don't really belong."Conservatives aren't allowed to voice their opinions anywhere. But we should have a pity party because toxic leftwingers aren't allowed to bring up divisive leftwing politics at work whenever they want.
Via Breaking Points. I stole the observation that corporations have just traded one group of race grifters for another group of slightly-less-divisive race grifters from, if you can believe it, leftwing Bernie Girl Krystal Ball.
... Irshad Manji, founder of the consultancy Moral Courage College, says an "almost offensive focus on group labels" is a big problem with mainstream diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. "It all but compels people to stereotype each other. I happen to be Muslim and a faithful Muslim," she said. "But that does not mean I interpret Islam like every other Muslim out there." Ms. Manji believes that people now use "belonging" as a "tacit acknowledgment that traditional D.E.I. hasn't worked well."

This will continue until increased interest rates combine with needs for new debt and more cuts will need to be made to keep the lights on.

A lot of corporate spending is satisfying regulators and racking up ESG social credits. It would be more beneficial if the spending could be redirected to product and service innovation and development instead. And that would create a glut of college graduates with degress in stuff that doesn't matter.

Pretty universal in my company is outright ignoring the DEI crap. We just had some "day of understanding" crap where many of us had conflicts and couldn't attend.
We all know that white males need not apply to be listened to or understood.
So the woman in the first piece is correct. We know that we aren't included and are passed over for promotions and such. Not much point in participating in the theater, we aren't wanted after we deliver profit for the company.

Equity
Equity is bought.
Bought with money.
Bought with time.
Bought with ideas and innovation.
Once Equity became something that one person could hand out, to another in exchange for their sex, or race, or identity, it losing all meaning and value. Therefore the only conclusion of equity is that no one wins. It is a zero sum game race to the bottom, with maybe a few people better off for a while, until everyone is in self-imposed gulag.

Equity has nothing to do with the English word equity.
It just sounds like equality, except it isn't because some animals are more equal than others.

Over at Twitchy there was s a hysterical story linked from the LA times. It seems that a white woman and a black woman bonded over anti-racism . They no longer talk to each other. Why? Because the white woman just couldn't be overcome her whiteness. As Oscar Wilde said "you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh"

Its always been this way. Subjective crap no more meaningful than white after Labor Day or ball caps indoors. Thus is human nature.

I e-mailed the GOP Jesus video to a local Democratic Party activist who is also a member of my church. She responded that she laughed so hard that she cried.
Could you give us the one with the black Jesus? I'd love to see the a**holes faces then.

In 2017, he (Jonathan Haidt) and a colleague, Caroline Mehl, started the Constructive Dialogue Institute, whose main product is an educational platform called Perspectives. The tool uses online modules and workshops...
Don't call her a "tool," New York Times. I mean she is, obviously, but it's unprofessional to say out loud.
I don't know about that company, but I do remember that Jonathan Haidt co-wrote the (imo) important "The Coddling of the American Mind", discussing how young people were being made hyper-sensitive on college campuses and the psychological and social destruction that would result. So I'd give a slight benefit of the doubt here.

Professionalism is dead. It's feelings all the time. And this is in large part driven by women in the office, and their hive of enforcement, the HR department.
Women are fearful of groups of men, unless they ordered a Brazzers Surprise Party to show up at their place. Which is why since the 1960s they've attempted to dilute or destroy every manifestation of that, from Boy Scouts to multinational corporations.

Why Some Companies Are Saying 'Diversity and Belonging' Instead of 'Diversity and Inclusion'
The changing terminology reflects new thinking among some consultants, who say traditional D.E.I. strategies haven't worked out as planned.
++++
This is exactly the same thing as the "MAP" nonsense. They looked at a word - "pedophile" in that case - and said, "this is used as a pejorative, which is why people are mean to them. We need a new word to describe it. With a totally different word, that isn't a pejorative, the displeasure with those people will vanish."
No, dingus. It's a pejorative because of what it describes. Describing it differently doesn't change what it *is* and all that will happen is that your shiny new word will become a pejorative.
This is exactly the same thing. "Inclusion" means "You're included unless you're a white, straight male." Everyone knows it. That is the point. Rebranding it to "belonging" is no different. "Belonging" means "You belong unless you're a white, straight male."
It didn't work and was divisive not because of what you called it, but because of what it *is.*

Professor Creary agrees these are real problems. "I can see that corporations want to have a structured conversation around how allowing all of us to thrive will help us all collectively," she said. But she worries "belonging" gives cover to people who would rather maintain the status quo. "There's still a large percentage of people who have a zero sum mind-set," she said. "If I support you, I am going to lose."
++++
Those people are what we call "sane." This is a zero-sum structure. That is what "equity" *is* - take from one and give to another, and do so with a phony-baloney moral sanction. You can't spin it any other way, toots. It is what it is, and what it is happens to be pretty damn obvious.
But the only thing worse than business speak or academic speak is the convergence of business speak and academic speak.

Do your part. Cut off donations to charities which hired DEI officers at 6 figure salaries instead of delivering programs for deserving recipients of aid. Tell the “development officer” why you cut them off.

Mary Margaret Olohan @MaryMargOlohan · 41m
NEW: FBI agents Ashley Roberts and Kathleen Brown showed up at the childhood home of pro-life activist Elise Ketch. The agents asked to speak with Ketch, who is a member of @PAAUNOW.
Here's the Ring security camera footage, first obtained by @Dailysignal: https://tinyurl.com/y5m8jf5j
Elise doesn't live at her mother's house anymore. But the visit made her concerned for her family's safety.
"I believe the FBI’s true motive behind their visit to my parents’ home was to intimidate me and my team.”
Elise's mom called her, the footage shows.
"I have two FBI agents at the door."
"FBI agents?? Mom, don't tell them anything."

When you get everyone together to vent you give them (employees mostly) the feeling that their voices are heard and they are being considered in the decisions by management that are grinding them down. Of course when nothing happens, then the feeling is, "reality is reality and one person's need may not be important in the big decisions"
Unfortunately, when this is focused on to racial issues, the failure to see any resolution can be interpreted as "they hate us and want to take it all away from us and give it to those other oppressors they are allied iwth"
Especially after 70 years of "they are going to put you in chains" or "you have been successful already time to step aside" sort of lectures.

It would be funny except that corporations are being forced to compete for high CEI scores in order to qualify for lower loan interest rates. A bad CEI score can have a significant impact on a company's stock price. Gotta hire the "approved" diversity consultants to get the score up up up.

When they have time to indulge in this kind of nonsense, it means they aren't selling and the end is near.

Get back to me when you're willing to discuss the relative rates of violent crime. If you aren't, then you're just a propagandist.
But it's rigged worse than that. They don't ask "What about a white man? An Asian? A Hispanic?" Honestly, I've locked my car when a black man walked by, and also a white man. If I'm in a sh***y neighborhood, if I haven't already, I'll lock it when anyone walks by. These questions are always rigged to lead you down a path of racism/bigotry accusations, often by omission.

And critical thinking risk assessing men are avoiding women like the plague. Men on Strike by Insty's wife was written in 2014.
The shit has accelerated and anecdotal evidence IRL and reading the headlines tells me that some critical mass was reached around last summer or early fall of 2022. All the videos of women posting workouts trying to shame men and the blowback was wild.
Men need our own spaces just like women do and yet every other group gets one but normal straight men.
I guess we will just continue to watch will these wymyn burn civilization down and men will rebuild like we always do...

Conservatives aren't allowed to voice their opinions anywhere.
But we should have a pity party because toxic leftwingers aren't allowed to bring up divisive leftwing politics at work whenever they want.
++++
Yes they are. And they will. What this is, I think, is fatigue. Nothing more. The Left Pole keeps shifting and so a good, aligned, fully-loyal apparatchik yesterday might find herself a Wrongthinker today. It's exhausting. This is, if it is *any* different from the old approach (and I don't think it is), focused on trying to avoid the leftists eating their own when the pole shifts slightly.

There's need to be a way for customers (as Joe Mannix was saying earlier) and shareholders to have more power/say. The goal should be profit not this social crap. Fire people who can't behave and make them learn acceptable behavior on their own time.
The left ALWAYS gets someone (the government/corporations) to pay for this crap. Defund the Left!

Academia is the worst at DEI. For universities especially, DEI is not about diversity, its about exclusion. DEI isn't bout equity, it's about political reparations and thought training. "Inclusion" is a laughable term anyway, but especially at schools where inclusion is really a disguised form of "hire based solely on race regardless of capability".
My own school requires a Marxist DEI self-criticism before you can even submit a resume. Not kidding, that's how the automated submission system works. They say "DEI is not considered in hiring", meaning after the application point, except to say you cannot even apply without an acceptable DEI pledge.

"Bring your whole self to work emerged before the pandemic but became something of a mandate at its height, as companies tried to stanch a wave of resignations."
=====
My experience with "bring your whole self to work"
1. It is a phrase used exclusively by women at work
2. It generally means: I can cancel a meeting with you because I don't feel like working today.
3. Additionally, these women typical do not turn the camera on because they do not feel they look good.
Another idiotic slogan.

I can remember a story back when CP/M computers were just about to be replaced with IBM PCs and companies were popping up to be the next provider, or at least the distributor.
Back in those days, just after "Ma Bell" was broken up into regional phone companies, the spin off companies were looking for new markets.
The story was the Pacific Telesis, the West coast "baby bell", wanted to go into selling computers. The problem was that the management seemed to be more wrapped up in "EST training" rather than actually making a business plan.

For the most part, the fault is with leftist activists on courts. When they see something they don't like, instant TRO and the appellate courts leave it in position until all appeals and writs of cert go through. It is the reverse if the TRO has to do with something that those on the right like. There, the TRO is quashed until the appellate courts hash it out.
The reason is a lot of judges on the right were appointed for following legal rules and judicial restraint. Those on the left were appointed because of activism.

reflects new thinking among some consultants
_____________
Ah. Therein lies the rub.
Corporate "leadership," in my experience, tends to be in fact the "Stupidest, Most-Ill-Educated Group In America," apparently selected for having good hair, shiny shoes, and a resonant timbre of voice. (I once spent FIVE YEARS trying to get one of that lot to grasp the mole concept. He never did.)
The problem is twofold. First, they're stupid, and so rely on management consultants as one corporate "leader" in my presence once bleated to a consultant, "Just tell what to do!"
Second, many of the consultants are themselves not overly bright, and are oftentimes just kids right out of college (with all that that implies). They never ran a lemonade stand, but they feel qualified to opine on running large companies. I had once bright thing just out of MIT give me tips on how to run research, despite my doing so since before she was born. Turns out she only had a bachelor's degree in chemistry, and I had published more papers than she had ever read. She couldn't even NAME one prominent journal in chemistry. Meanwhile, we were paying $300/hr for her wisdom, such as it was.

I work for a big multi-national corp. I don't know if it's just because our office is too far from corporate HQ, or our 2 Principals in the office are competent, but I have been subjected to little of the DEI crap some other people. What little I get, I always push back, say it's divisive, and as a Christian I'm called to value the worth of the individual rather than the group.
I don't know what the DEI Drones think, but I've have never heard anything back so far.

When I was still doing the work outside home thing (been a stay at home mom for a very long time) I didn't share my private life with my co-workers. Home was home, work was work. Period. Co-workers knew I was married or single by the rings or lack thereof, knew I was pregnant when it showed, and I was going on vacation when I didn't show up and the boss said yeh she's on vacation.
These weren't my friends. They were work associates. I was polite, courteous, and friendly but I refused to be dragged in to drama.

The thing about awarding reparations to slave descendants is that it is impossible to actually prove the direct physical line of many former slaves. Names were incomplete with no surname or owners' surnames or changed with emancipation. Paper records often were inadvertently destroyed in fires or floods. Of course I realize that will not stop those who just want the grift.

The core problem with the DEI crap is that boils down to these teachings:
The Majority must conform to a minority's cultural and behavioral norms to have a productive workforce and working environment.
A minority does not even have to try to conform to the majority's cultural and behavioral norms, yet management should count on this set-up to provide a more productive workforce and a happier work environment.
It is discrimination hiding behind words and phrases that sound terrific to members of Faculty Senates and to idiot HR and management personnel.

That did avoid a lot of meetings devolving into a mess.
But the program overall? Pass.

Management are dumb and lazy.
Consultants are generally only interested in doing whatever is necessary to get their contracts extended, which is to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing and never make any concrete recommendations that they can be blamed for when it goes sideways.
The dynamic of 50+ year old managers delegating corporate decision-making to 25-year-old consultants that are "at work" three days a week, traveling the other two, making absolute shitloads of money and having sex with one another is wild, and dumb.

Six Sigma worked well for Motorola. It could probably be applicable to other manufacturing operations.
It never had a place in, say, software development - and software companies *loved* them some Six Sigma.

contrast to how the Left has an array of ethnicities, oppressed, myriad of sexes, alienation, rulers vs slaves, pretty much everything to the opposite of Christianity.
The Left has made their own religion with all of the hate, guilt and damnation but no path to reconciliation or atonement.

Consultants are generally only interested in doing whatever is necessary to get their contracts extended, which is to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing and never make any concrete recommendations that they can be blamed for when it goes sideways.

DEI is nothing but corporate racism. It turns people against each other and has zero to do with running a company.
You want to build a team? Put your best people together and get them to work towards an objective. Nobody gives a shit what color you are, what your religion is or who you sleep with at night. They don't care about your politics. They care about meeting goals and objectives. If Godzilla helps me complete the mission, he's on the team.
Oh and if you want someone who is sensitive to your feelings, get a dog. That's not my job.

The thing about awarding reparations to slave descendants is that it is impossible to actually prove the direct physical line of many former slaves. Names were incomplete with no surname or owners' surnames or changed with emancipation. Paper records often were inadvertently destroyed in fires or floods. Of course I realize that will not stop those who just want the grift.

Watching the Musk interview with CNBC on free speech one thing stands out to me.
The reporter points out that some people like Soros, and that in criticizing Soros Musk might be angering those people enough to not buy his products.
Now...this is true. But the percentage of the population that knows who Soros is and likes him is very, very small.
Now contrast this with every carbon copy CEO jumping on the gay train or worse yet the tranny train. The vast majority of the population hates this crap. And yet...they continue to do it and none of the carbon copy CEOs get asked if they are hurting their company by injecting politics into things.

Give it a foreign name, and it sounds important.
"Kanban" means "sign." So it's the "just put it in writing" system?

I work for a large corporation you all know and probably like. I hope. We work hard to be liked by our customers.
They never once commanded me to attend a racial shame ritual, or take mysterious drugs cooked up from bat blood.
This is one of the reasons I don't care to look elsewhere for employment. A big reason.

The thing about awarding reparations to slave descendants is that it is impossible to actually prove the direct physical line of many former slaves.
I don't care if you have DNA evidence that your ancestors were slaves. They're dead. The slaveholders are dead. The great-grandchildren of those people are dead. Get on with you own life and quit making excuses for your failures.

My business management philosophy is all employees , including non sales persons, have an objective bonus system.

One year we were denied bonuses because the company had failed to meet some arcane accounting measure. Nobody in R&D had the faintest idea what it was, much less how to reach it. A company chock-a-block with accountants and we failed to come up to scratch on an accounting measure. Or, in the alternative, the upper business guys' bonuses depended on cutting out everyone else's bonuses.

"Aren't "inclusion" and "belonging" synonyms? "
"Inclusion" is what members of a group do to welcome newcomers.
"Belonging" is how the newcomers feel after they've been welcomed.
So they're related, but come at the same thing from opposite directions.

I’ve worked in manufacturing for almost 27 years. Engineer, project manager, maintenance. I’ve thought about writing a book on my experiences.
I can reduce production problems to the following:
1) not holding operators accountable for mistakes
2) buying poor quality material (costs less)
3) already running flat out max machine speed and no tweaking on set points is going to make it more productive.
4) poor operations training
5) poor choices on capital spending

Maybe one of these CEOs will decide that the purpose of the communications department is to issue press releases, take care of the website, write the annual report, and prepare after dinner remarks for the senior executives to deliver. And the purpose of the HR department is to classify positions, post open positions, act as a reception point for applications and resumes, house employee records, choose between competing benefit plans and supervise open enrollment, counsel employees on retirement planning, hire the EAP contractor, employ people for other employees to vent to a la Toby Flenderson, design evaluation forms and procedures, counsel units of the company on compliance with state and federal labor law, and, if there's a bargaining unit at the company, negotiate union contracts. Betting you could, a la Elon, reduce the staffing of both departments by about 70%.

Our local hospital went with the Leapfrog™ grading system and touts on the local news that they just received an "A" grade for the 12th straight year.
Yayyyyy!!
Posted by: Muldoon
There was an article in our local rag today about the local complexity level 1 trauma center here touting the A+ award they got from Leapfrog. That was in the headline and the first paragraph. The rest of the long article was about a nurse that used to be employed at the hospital who molested incapacitated patients. The former nurse has been behind bars awaiting trial for a long time now. Very dishonest reporting and I can bet their CEO is livid.
Our hospital is still with Joint Commission and although we did excellent at last survey in January, I despise them with the heat of 1,000 suns.

Diversity efforts - like almost everything else - is just a fucking scam.
Every single person is an individual. They are not defined by a handful of surface level traits. Most people differ by so many massive parameters, its stupid to even try to group them together.
But, of course, companies aren't interested in any of those dimensions of a person's character.

Corporations are just figuring out that constantly pitting one race against another tends to, get this, pit one race against another.
They've figured out they're losing their skilled workers who could also be mentoring the newbies. While they may be educated, they have no idea of work processes & procedures because a great deal of work & learning is on-the-job. Also, when you've become the boss because who you know &/or you've simply check boxes because of race, gender, exotic education, etc., it's scary. It leads to great stress in the workplace. But once that Pandora's box has been opened, there's no turning back.
Total quality management, Meyers Briggs personality type, team building, now virtual team building, etc. for more than 60 years. Round & round, remodeling the workforce again & again because the right people for the jobs aren't hired, trained, promoted. And if the place is unionized, forget about it.

DIVERSITY = ANTI WHITE MALE
That. Is. All.
Posted by: Jukin the Deplorable a Clear and Present Danger at May 17, 2023 04:02 PM (17s+e)
That's unfair, sometimes its also anti some minority they don't like as well as white males.

You can "bring your whole self to work" only if "your whole self" mouths all the leftwing positions on every issue.
Because Progressivism is a religion. And it's a fairly totalitarian one.
Also, "Does what you're yammering on about have anything to do with your work? No? Then shut up and get back to working" is one of the right responses to much clamor about this stuff.

375 Diversity efforts - like almost everything else - is just a fucking scam.
Every single person is an individual. They are not defined by a handful of surface level traits. Most people differ by so many massive parameters, its stupid to even try to group them together.
But, of course, companies aren't interested in any of those dimensions of a person's character.

And yet we know plenty about the people involved in the latest brawl at Disney World without ever seeing the videos....

"Sensitivity Training" was never about correcting society's flaws. It satisfied a masochism kink in gentry-class women, who found pleasure in being told they were worthless and despicable - this time by Jamal from HR instead of Helga wearing black leather. It's otherwise the same kink. The ranking DEI folks are frankly khaki clad doms.
Knowing their wisdom and righteous nature, the Karens spread their pleasurable activity to the lumpen proletariat, so they may enjoy the same benefits of their better. Or to get employers pay for their kinks. Could go either way.

""Woodward is a 153-year-old aerospace company that required its male employees to wear bow ties into the 1990s""
Uhhh...
153 years ago would be 1870.
The first heavier-than-air flight occurred in 1903.

>>> CNBC asked Musk if he was a-scared his advertisers would leave him for taking on Soros.
Elon quoted Inigo Mantoya
Elon told CNBC/Soros they killed his father and to prepare to die? I'm impressed.

Where I work at, I check a lot of my personal self at the door... and that's ok! I've learned to keep my mouth shut in all DEI meetings and to keep my head down. Also learned that coworkers will assume the worst if you at all hint you are conservative or libertarian. I might have voted for Trump, gasp!
My then boyfriend heard one of my DEI training vids during the pandemic when we both worked at home. He's part Asian. He was utterly horrific by what we were hearing, and felt it was downright evil. It is.
Reducing an entire group of people's thoughts, and their ability to empathize, to outer superficial traits they can't control is not going to end well. We need to mock it the way Latinx was mocked and maybe it'll go away.
