Re: DEI for Dummies
#2I cannot resist leaving a comment here. DEI is:
Divisiveness. Your organization will be split into many adversarial camps based on their skin color and genitals. They will be taught to treat members of other camps with contempt. These superficial traits will be deemed more important that skill, character, knowledge and ability.
Exclusion. Ideas, thoughts, words and people contradicting our dogma will be excluded by our helpful and friendly speech police. Your employees will be encouraged to report each other for thought crimes, such as using banned words, and will learn to not trust each other.
Inquisition. Any attempt to discuss and criticize this policy will be mercilessly persecuted by ministry of love. Your employees will learn to keep their thoughts to themselves.

There is nothing about your comment I disagree with. Thanks for sharing as most people are terrified to speak out against these divisive policies. I am hopeful their creators had good intentions but this is just a power play to get those with power to bow down to those without; which is just another form of psychological oppression imho.

Hilariously, the self unaware downvoters proved your point.
I just find it amazing that we essentially achieved something very close to equal opportunity, but because that didn't produce equal outcomes it wasn't good enough, and now we have equity in its place.
I still think that there is a strong possibility that all of this was created to serve as a distraction from the real issues to keep the masses from guillotining the elites for their corruption and destruction of the middle class.

You're allowed to post this now because the Big Bad Republicans™ are largely out of power. Now, sensibility and performance and strong work ethics (for the right masters) can return--as long as the Right People™ are in power.
Wait until the cycle begins again, and when your country has to experience more mass riots, destruction, and unrest. Don't worry: the Right People™ can always stop the pain--if you let them have power.

In India, DEI is nothing but an initiative getting more ~posh~ Affluent urban women into IT jobs.
Whereas someone like me, from humble background and acquired much better skills by my own effort and sacrifice, is denied the same opportunities.

"a power play to get those with power to bow down to those without; which is just another form of psychological oppression imho"
I disagree, but even if it is, maybe that's ok. Status quo is active oppression everywhere all the time of certain groups, rebalancing who is getting oppressed for a second is probably a worthy sacrifice to even things out.

To me it's scary how all of these things progress. Looking at where we are I think I can imagine now how totalitarian regimes were born and how they came into power. It starts with virtuous ideas and is followed with more and more restrictions what can be criticized. Eventually any criticism is act of courage. Majority of the people stop expressing their perspective. They disconnect and become silent.
The force behind (regardless whether it is organized or not) will always have ridiculous excuses. They even will tell you it's all based on science. But when you look closer it's not science but some shitty subjective report from Gartner without available data etc.
They will advocate they're introducing fearless culture, but instead it becomes fearful. They will advocate they're introducing inclusive culture, but it becomes exclusive. They will advocate they're introducing equality of opportunities, but it becomes equality of outcome.
After seeing all of this for several years I now have strong opinion that whenever somebody wants to make world more fair it almost always lead to less fair one.

#10"At FoxNews, bashing libs may be appropriate; at your billing SaaS company, it’s not. At a comedy club, it’s appropriate to hear off-color humor;"
Sounds very right-focused. What about supporting BLM or publicly talking about defending police? Both incredibly divisive and partisan stances that a DEI company would be obligated to abide by.
This is the crux of DEI -- it is a wedge to place utopian-Leftist ideals into a organization without any votes or consent. If you disagree, you are automatically a racist/oppressor. If you fall into a typical "oppressor" category, white/male generally, you are now under constant Gestapo watch for thought and speech crimes.
No thanks.
