Yeah, agreed. That's what I was trying to get at with the last part of my comment. As time went on my circle widened and I got to know more diverse people the candidates getting recommended to me became more diverse. DEI, even the boogeyman version people like to complain about makes that happen much faster rather than organically.
It's not always about racism. I preferred hiring people that I knew were good workers or were referred to me by people I trusted to have good judgement over someone who was maybe better on paper. An unfortunate side effect of that is my social circle early in my career was mostly other white people but I never rejected or thought less of someone because of their race. It was just that the places I worked always made it a pain in the ass to reopen a position when someone quit or was fired and I couldn't afford to gamble on an unknown. If no one was referred to me then whoever I hired was based off qualifications and how they interviewed. As I got older and met more people of different backgrounds those recommendations became more diverse.
All that being said DEI policies do solve the problem (other than the having to hire an unknown that would be hard to replace if they don't work out). It would be better for people to expand their social circle and meet more people on their own but I don't know how you would enforce that.
Sometimes. Sometimes whatever executive demanded we use this doesn't want to hear about it and will throw you under the bus because otherwise it would be their fault.
How would the investors profit from paying for someone's education? By giving them a loan? Don't we have enough problems with the student loan system without involving these assholes more?
I have dreams where I end up shirtless (or worse) at various places I've worked in the past pretty often. I don't think being naked in public would even really bother me anymore because of that. Other than the criminal charges of course.
Yea, it's great when someone calls me about a problem and suddenly it's gone when I arrive. Love it. Just don't be a dick and demand that I investigate it anyway (unless it's something that keeps re-occuring).
From that picture it looks like the weak jet stream is the problem. We just need to build a ton of wind farms across Canada to blow it harder so that it becomes more powerful. Easy.
I had to have the "It's just a difference of opinion" conversation for the probably 12th time yesterday. I'm so fucking tired of it.
It's not just a different opinion when you're supporting a rapist bigot who wants to allow corporations to destroy the environment and harm LGBT people and countless other shitty things. All he does is spout hate. That's what you're supporting. Fuck you.
Windows asked me what app I wanted to open a .jpeg with last week.... Just fucking pick one, it's a jpeg.
