Who can blame them with job adverts encouraging [not them] to apply.

You keep getting it so &rse about face it is embarrassing to watch.

All the research says you are wrong. DEI is highly resented.

I don't think he is getting it wrong when adverts state etnic minoritys are particularly welcome to apply.

 

[MNW67]

Would adverts like this be more acceptable:

'We particularly welcome applications from lazy people who don't have the minimum qualifications required because they are currently under represented in our organisation.'

I'm guessing you haven't done much recruitment in your career. None of this nonsense is necessary to attract the best candidates.

I doubt they would get the caliber of person that they want

Not all drugs are bad for us. They saved my eldest child's' life, when he was but a dot.

Medical drugs administered by a Dr is different, but I am glad they saved your eldest sons life in all sincerity.

I've never understood what is wrong with 'artificially levelling the playing field'.

It's a neat soundbite, but what does it actually mean.

All sorts of things which are out of whack benefit from being levelled artificially.

The alternative is to leave things in a sub-optimal state.

because each individual is not responsible or accountable for the success of others who they share a category with. Its not their fault

It's a neat soundbite, but what does it actually mean.

It means giving more attention to one category at the expense of others.

not people

The alternative is to leave things in a sub-optimal state.

The alternative is encourage each individual to be the best version of themselves, they can be.

That is difficult if their application is three times more likely to go straight in the bin.

I don't think that has been the case for years. Companies are paranoid about vexatious litigation through hiring policies. There is nothing wrong with opening people's minds and getting them to address their unconscious bias etc. But there is no need for adverts "we are particularly keen to receive applications from [not you]".

I've had people from all backgrounds work for me and I've sat in plenty of "HR meetings". Its never the ones you expect: Indian people trying to enforce the class system, women up for sexual harassment and the most rediculous allegations of racial discrimination you could imagine.

They are still drugs are they not?
