One time is a persistent litigator? A EEOC claim is private BTW. Tl
For many HR departments? Absolutely.
Sure they'd reject her but you calling her a "persistent litigator" doesn't make any sense.

It’s important to know what the HR dept would consider her, because it has consequences for her.
We can argue how true it is or not all we want, they won’t care one bit.

Do you have evidence that in-group preferences are happening? Your workplace becoming more diverse is not proof of in-group preferences.
The situation laid out in the comment above is that of a workplace becoming less and less diverse, not more.
The situation did not make it clear one way or another. Probably on purpose.

The commenter made it clear the team is becoming not just less diverse, but completely homogenous: "every one on the team" sharing the same identity characteristic as the lead.

Engineers are not part of the proletariat, at all. There are no working class engineers. However, many members of the bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie LARP as proletariat — particularly academics. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/02/middle-class-income-in-major... .
> There are no working class engineers. I'm not sure how you can say this. I suppose it may depend on how you define "working class", though. If you mean it in the sense of "middle class", then there are lots of them.
Middle class is bourgeoisie.

The distinction has never been “work to live”, but working class versus professional class. Also, academics and engineers don’t derive their income from labor, but from connections, bureaucratic status, and knowledge asymmetry. That’s why they’re part of the bourgeoisie and not proletariat. Eg, lawyers were never part of the proletariat — yet they also need to work to survive.
There are many ways we can use distinctions to classify everyone, but if we’re using the term proletariat like I mentioned, that’s certainly defined as someone who gets their income through labour power. [1] I’m a bit confused by your examples with academics or engineers as well. If an engineer stops fulfilling their deliverables, they’ll likely stop being employed. Same goes for a postdoc not producing any research.…

Please do.

> Also, academics and engineers don’t derive their income from labor I'm an engineer and absolutely derive my income from labor. I don't get paid for just knowing people or knowledge asymmetry, I get paid for producing stuff.
…based on your specialized knowledge.
See my example about lawyers:

Perhaps you could address that.

#158In my last job, I was 1 of 2 network admins. The other network admin, while never consulted, made it public that he didn't believe I should be allowed to touch networking gear. I did get warned early that I needed to copy his configs or else, they were good configs and so I did use them as templates for sure. But then came a time when I was scheduled for 4 weeks in advanced and I had constant emergency jobs. He ended…

I guess it would depend on the particular lawyer, don’t you think?
Or, if the work from their clients (labour power) is sustaining them, they’d be part of the proletariat, but if they’re able to get by from the labour of others or capital they own (eg: investments, articling) then they wouldn’t be. Does that make sense?
