I’ll keep it simple: I work in an area of the bank where there seems to be a calculated effort to eliminate make employees. Not only do women outnumber men 3:1, but we also haven’t hired a man in 6 years and nearly every employee displaced or “retired” has been male. Going further up, my boss’s boss’s directs are 4:1 female to male. These aren’t roles that would traditionally be considered to attract one gender over another.
I understand the push for diversity, but have we swung too far in the opposite direction? Wouldn’t a diverse workplace be a representation of the available workforce?
