Diversity is irrelevant. I'd take a 100% white men team any time over one where 50% are useless diversity hires.
What's relevant is not excluding good people regardless of sex and race, but those will have to apply in the first place. -
asgs115624yI don't understand your concern. Looks superficial
How exactly do you define diversity? Color, race, gender, age? I would give preference to people's thought processes than anything else even if they all look robotic like -
whiskey08974yWhy was your first intuition immediately about diversity? Simply an observation or did someone in the workplace say something that was the catalyst for this post on dev rant?
-
@Fast-Nop would you also take a 100% black woman team, assuming they know their shit?
-
@electrineer Of course.
Btw., competent black women are hit hardest by that diversity shit because they have to fight the most now to prove that they are not useless diversity hires. That's even worse than for competent tech women in general. -
just because a team isn't "diverse" in color doesn't mean the company is racist. there are just far more white males in the field. more females and people of color should enter the field if these numbers are a problem to them. can't blame white people when at this point the problem starts somewhere else
-
@itsmill3rtime “there are just more white males in the field”, what do you even base that on? First thing you should ask is which part of the world I’m in and talking about. You just stating things without even tryna get the full picture smh
-
Whites are so defensive here, that time I said nothing about a specific race smh 🤦🏾♂️
-
@AtuM the whole team is white males. The only non whites are cleaners and people at the reception
-
@iiii if you completely neglect, don’t know or understand the importance or impact that diversity or lack there of can have on any team in any workplace, then I got none to say to you.
Thanks bye! -
iiii92444y@hervinho243 right now you look like nothing more than one of those diversity bigots who promote colored quotas instead of merit.
Put out your butthurt and try using your head for once. -
asgs115624y@hervinho243 look at the bright side. You will probably be the first non-white there
I'm not white but I wouldn't bother about this if I were you -
@asgs I’ve been in a similar environment and it wasn’t that nice to work there, people will make subtle racist comments and all every now and then. It’s not uncommon to see such in this southern part of the world
Got an offer from some company, they seem nice and all and the stack is something I’m used to. But my issue is diversity, I went to their office once and I didn’t see any diversity whatsoever in the team, at all.
People underestimate the importance of diversity in a workplace, it’s surprising to see that even in 2021
