Yes we need to do this. My company recently set up one of these teams and a good friend of mine who is totally based applied and was included on the team. His record as a sales manager was that he had hired every single black sales associate our company has had for the past ten years. His inclusion was, I’d bet highly debated - but nonetheless he is on the diversity team and we are all happy to have someone with common sense keeping an eye on things.
During one of the first meetings of the new group it was brought up that we only had 2 female sales associates in the US field force........he said it was unbelievable that they openly talked about discriminating against upcoming candidates due to sex just to try to meet some arbitrary quota. It’s all racism, sexism, you name it when you are planning to intentionally lend favor or discriminate against people because of their race, color, sex, religion etc but that’s exactly what these ‘diversity’ groups seek to do with impunity.
The white, Christian male is now the most openly discriminated against individual in the US and nobody cares; and the perpetrators of these crimes speak openly about it with no backlash or consequence. That’s OK, we’ll just work even harder to succeed and the rewards will be all the sweeter. Discriminate away cocksuckers! Just don’t cry me a sob story when the top three oncologists in your insurance plan area are all affirmative action posts who never deserved the position in the first place. You’ll reap what you sow.
