In the past few months post RIF, i have seen at least 3 senior roles G7, G8 open up, and filled up fast with diversity internal candidates bypassing clear competent choices. Females seem to be the first choice for a role irrespective of any relevant experience or job role requirements. Abby moving towards target 70%?

@ky I checked the latest leap cohort and it is extremely diverse. Weird thing to lie about since.
Its bogus that "diversity" means anything here. I am black, male, and with a great set of accomplishments and applying anywhere just means unless interviews and no hires. White females get the spots because of a combination of female diversity and other factors.
i dont understand, you won. all diversity programs got scrapped, minorities are not getting hired anymore (check recent leap cohorts), you can be openly raycist and noone cares. why r we still complaining about diverity?
@jv what is the Walmart kickback scam?
Is this the anti woman thread? Ridiculous.
Not even reading the thread, I can confirm having been in hiring processes there is tons of discrimination. We had one role where I kept getting sent anyone who was either non-male or non-White, ideally both, and critically none of them had relevant experience. I thought that was odd. So I peeked at the resume pool: 50%+ White males all with highly relevant experience. The hiring manager and/or recruiter were throwing these resumes in the bin.
The hiring manager later got caught trying to ram Indian males with fraudulent backgrounds through, he was apparently trying to run the Walmart kickback scam. He is still at the firm.
@fs, Of course no one wants their cost center charged. But in the over 30 years I was there, why does that one example stay in my memory? It's because of how the woman played extremely d-mb and couldn't make a decision even with holding her hand. It's reasonable to ask questions to make sure of where the fault lies. But she didn't even know how to do that. Sorry, I would take all the je-k males I had to deal with who could get things done over women like her.
This company in tech is 80% Indian, 17% white male and 3% anything else
What diversity are you guys talking about the company has no diversity at all,,
@f3 I’m also a female and went through this same process with several MALE managers. No one wants their cost center charged. This is a bad example.
I'm a female that worked mostly in Fido operations groups for the better part of 3 decades, now retired. I recall a situation that required an adjustment to a transaction caused by a rep in another department managed by a female. My group was a liaison to the department that would process the adjustment, and they needed the female manager to acknowledge the error so her cost center could be charged. The amount of emails to get her to agree to take ownership was ridiculous and took several days, tying up the account that needed the adjustment. I recall stating to my male director that this is why females shouldn't be in management positions.
Real question - do you know these people and their skill set? I know managers who know a process but don't know how to coach people and help them grow. I'd prefer my leader to know how to actually lead even if that means they are learning about my process in the meantime.
White men should file a discrimination claim with the government. This administration is more likely to do something about it than any other, or any other in a very long time.
This has been happening for years. This is also happening based on location as well. VP roles that were in WLK/COV/NC are all being filled back at the mothership in BOS. Your skillset has little impact on the decisions anymore.
This is rampant in India office. All open leadership roles have been filled with female candidates having no experience in Technology
this is happening in all grades targetting 100% ncompetent people are brought in for the quota system
