  • Kim struggled to find work after a 2022 drunk driving incident, for which she was later fined in court. [...] Newspapers and websites criticized her whenever she was seen partying with friends, or when she complained about her lack of work and nasty comments on social media. She was even criticized for smiling while filming an independent movie last year.

    On one hand, drunk drivers need harsh punishment, but on the other hand, that is rough. Imagine having just one too many drinks before heading home and this becomes your life.

  • ?? I've worked in hiring and seen a meeting where managers were informed of a new goal to make teams "50% diverse". You also literally ignored the content of my other comment that included a source.

    Inform yourself

    Unless you can articulate extremely well how DEI works, I'm going to (likely correctly) assume you're not informed

  • The main reason I'm against "Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion in the hiring process" is it makes the average minority at a company worse compared to their white male peers, which is a horrible situation that breeds further racism.

    My girlfriend is a visible minority in a STEM field. If people look at her and think "DEI hire", that's harmful, not helpful.

  • Even if you're against DEI in hiring (which I am), taking down pages of women in STEM is ridiculous. We want to encourage people to know what's possible and we want them to push for it based on merit

  • I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren't finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren't interested in creating a second account.

    We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.
