Thread regarding Medtronic Inc. layoffs

Sally and the DIE team: the best grift going at MDT

In case you're interested, a couple of her directs are on salaries of over $350K a year. It's a great gig if you can get it.

Duties:

Do podcasts and post on LinkedIn.

Send out notifications for training about Unconscious Bias every single year, over and over.

Just be present so we can use you as a defence if we get any bad PR related to race.

"Consult" in HR matters involving diverse people that might sue us (i.e. turn up to a meeting, give your opinions, and then leave with no action item of your own). Tell everyone that whatever is going on is definitely racial or a result of intergenerational trauma.

Create more ERGs for increasingly minority groups, such as Native American Rainbow People.

Try and force quotas into existing processes any way that you can, despite the Harvard ruling. Get angry because merit goes back to being a consideration.

Intervene in RIFs to redline and find ways to save diverse people over more qualified and better performing individuals, especially if they are white males. "Coach" managers to work through their bias and see that diverse people are better for the job.

"Consult" with leaders about the diversity of their direct reports and push for that 30% racially diverse leadership goal. Yes, that is the goal.

Insert "diverse" into every possible presentation and LinkedIn post: this is more important than actually being profitable.

More podcasts.

Essential:

Ability to hide your overt racism as much as possible. Avoid those pesky lawsuits from white men.

Knowledge of podcasting and hashtags.

Keen sense of victimhood, bitterness and scapegoating others. This is more important than academic qualifications or business acumen.

Stop using DEI as an excuse. We all know why Medtronic is in the gutter. Poor business decisions by our leaders is what led to our dire situation.

Some of you are delusional. Great to sh*t on your POC coworkers who are probably reading these threads and looking for a new job. Maybe instead of scapegoating the company’s poor outlook on DEI initiatives, you should look at all of the decisions that have been made to outsource as much labor possible to cheaper countries. Don’t blame POC for taking away your jobs when management is moving jobs to India, Colombia, and Mexico. Better yet, why don’t you educate yourself on how the hiring process works at Medtronic? If you really think hiring managers just filter to people from DEI backgrounds and reject everyone else, trust me you are very wrong.

In this real debate, everyone please know that the biggest victims are ASIAN people, even though we worked the hardest, contributes the most and efficiently delivers stuff without no none-sense debate.

Thank you

The best part about this post is the complaining about DEI oppressing white males who are better qualifying for 95% then ending it by calling the DEI group the ones who call themselves victims. Classic!

This is coming from a white male too, so don't @ me.

Seriously, what has DEI actually contributed to medtronic other than collecting fraud awards and tanking the stock?

Like why can you hire the best person for the job. Is there something wrong in that? Why do we have to deal with racial quota while hiring? Shameful
