    My work made sit a through “seminar” one time because exec team is all white…

    They though hiring this trash and wasting my time will fix the perception of all white exec team…

    It did not haha but now I know what DEI actually means tho

    Where is your evidence this shit has use beyond corporate PR cirlc jerk?

      Ah, I see. Anectode, the plural of data.

      Clearly because the specific people who your work made you sit through being pointless means all DEI everywhere is a scam.

      Sounds like you should blame your executive team for using DEI as a prop rather than blaming DEI for not being some magical cure all that would force your executives do something beyond token gestures

          I also have a job believe it or not. We build analytical tools that are stratifiable by different types of demographics because not everyone has uniform access to healthcare. It’s a real thing even if you don’t want it to be.

            I’m not curious enough to ask them, but I am mildly curious what they think the solution should be to get a diverse workforce. I’m guessing it’s “don’t have one.”

      Dear God. If your writing is indicative of what made the cut, I’d hate to see who they let go.
