Any company that hires to diversify the ethnicity of their staff is moronic. The purpose of interviews is the attempt to hire the best person for the job. If a company hires inferior labor in the quest to become diverse, they will simply become an inferior company.

Yea, I have never understood ethnic diversity when it comes to jobs. A diversity of skills is much more value. Diversity of ethnicity will just get you some interesting food items at a pot luck or something.

Ideas took diversity of ideas (an actual good thing) and ran with it to try and get their groups in (women, blacks, browns etc). The thing is anyone who has worked in any company can tell you all them have the same god damn ideas.

They have kikes at the top, making sure they stay in a dominant position by what amounts to monopolistic practices. So they basically have money to burn and nothing much to do with it. Giving it to niggers to help elevate their social status and make them more desirable partners is just another way for (((them))) to accelerate the Kalergi plan.

Liberals only like science when they use it to bash religion. What they are actually trying to say is that they see religion as so low that even science is above it, but the emphasis is that science is also very unimportant. James Damore and other autists don't pick up on this, and think they're part of the cool crowd. It never ends well for them, or really for anyone who stays with leftists for too long.

The Microsoft author echoes former Google employee James Damore, who in 2017 wrote a memo that went internally viral at Google, leaning on pseudoscience to argue that women aren’t cut out for the tech industry. Damore was fired for breaching the company’s code of conduct amid enormous public and internal controversy, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a memo that the firing was due to “advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.”

M$: Tell me about why you're a good fit for the job.

A: I'm a woman and it's time. I'm black so I'm a great affirmative action hire. I also believe I can help make your source code gender neutral.

M$: what technology are you good at?

A: Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and youtube.

M$: Lol, I thought you were going to say Facebook.

A: Lol, Facebook is for old people. My dad uses that.

The program on its face is in direct violation of Federal and (I would be willing to bet A LOT) Washington state laws concerning sexual discrimination in hiring.

The trap the marxists have built for themselves is that a law that says you can't discriminate based on sex means -- you can't discriminate based on sex.

A better law would be one that says "You can't discriminate". But I have no idea how you could ever enforce something like that. Thus we end up back at the only plan that has ever worked: Meritocracy!

Remove federal manipulation of the market through wealth redistribution from tax slaves. Let the free market decide. I am fully in favor of letting businesses destroy their reputation and eventually their existence. Just so long as no taxpayer ever has to carry the burden of their bad management.

Of course the real "problem" they are trying to fix is that they want to gift these jobs to people that have no qualifications to hold them.

If they really cared about not discriminating against X demographic, they would’ve just passed a law saying that asking for identifying information such as gender, ethnicity, etc on an application is illegal. Can’t help but wonder if they knew that hiring people based only on their qualifications wouldn’t produce the diversity they were hoping for, and would expose some ugly truths.

Yep, the absolutely last thing they want is a blind interview process.

That's why they're pushing the "post meritocracy " narrative. Competency is a male tool of oppression. Therefore we need an actively curated, diversified team. Meaning, not white.

Personally i think you should be able to discriminate who to hire in your own business, especially about which employees you want to have around.

Even if they are perfectly capable of doing whatever the job requires them to do, do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, destroy the life of one of your employees with a false rape accusation and with that the reputation of your own business or even cause you legal troubles?

Do you really want to hire someone that you know is genetically more inclined to violence?

Do you really want to hire someone that might turn your business into shit following feminist ideas like they did at Google?

Do you really want to hire someone that might, one day, start demanding equality of outcome instead than equality of opportunity and meritocracy?

Discrimination is a way to protect yourself, your employees and your business. Why aren't you allowed to do so?

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on sex". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against women".

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or national origin". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against niggers".

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on sexual orientation". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against faggots".

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on religion". What they meant was "you can't discriminate against Jews or Muslims, but fuck Christians. Oh, and especially fuck Buddhists, with all that Oh Ma Ni Pad Me Hum shit".

What they wrote was "you can't discriminate based on veteran status". What they meant was "lol, no one is going to win a lawsuit based on that, so let's toss that in to sell it to the pro-war members of congress".

The real question that needs answering is how did not being able to discriminate result in equality of outcome? Should it not have resulted in equality of opportunity where an interview is only conducted after an employer has reviewed your resume and determined that you would be suitable for the position and even then only to confirm that you can show up on time, aren't covered in tattoos, etc.? I know that kind of system has been tried and resulted in a huge number of white males being selected by the computers put in charge of selecting people based on merit alone, but is not going against that actual discrimination and a retarded business practice in general as it purposefully selects someone less suitable anyway?

It's a honking mad world we live in.

That's a thing. I don't know what area (other) of comp sci I'd like to get into now. security probably isn't my thing since I'm not a tricky sort, I'm more of an efficiency (better, faster, cheaper) expert. I like tuning and optomizing and am VERY successful (better than most) at it. It's like being better at building dragsters than combat vehicles I'd say. Thought about gaming, but then thought about the sorts of young spuds I'd HAVE to deal with. Wouldn't get along probably. TRIED thinking of an application area I could BREAK into as an owner (company). Nothing that isn't a scam springs to mind. I had GOOD ideas along those lines in the past, but NO reputation or capital. Oh well. Maybe I'm just done. God wants me for the final battle or something. Thanks for the ideas.

I find it extremely intimidating when I'm in environments where my knowledge is vastly small in comparison. Assuming you are an underqualified diversity hire, I would assume it would only make you feel even worse and further enforce stereotypes, not the reverse as they hope for.

But you know, it's a free market decision (albeit a poor one) and bad inefficient decisions will just lead to a shittier company output which can get outpaced by those who don't.

Be truthful with the women. Equal people for equal work. They are either as good as the men or their main job is making the tea.

Although women can do jobs like source code librarian. They file the printouts of the programs and ensure the operational programs get released including archiving test programs and test data. The list of these items is genuinely useful documentation.

Definition of useful - if the programmer has to come in at 3 o'clock Sunday morning to perform an emergency fix he will read it to find where everything is stored.
