One more "diversity hire"

Aug 18, 2017 13:41

 У меня выдалась какая-то очень изматывающая неделя на работе.  Даже не потому, что работала много (да, много), а потому что эта работа была в основном беготня на побегушках у новой VP, причем в дурацких направлениях или без направлений.

Наконец вчера, уже около семи вечера, закончив очередной "аааа, надо срочно, и именно вот так и вот это, и поди ( Read more... )

4years, unavoidable, work, stories, polemics, current events

правильно ничего не сказала.

такие вещи надо игнорировать как если бы он громко пукнул. ты же не будешь коментировать его пуки, правда?

offtopic. the orthodox jew you are kicking at DW was approveing THIS rally:

This Free Speech Movement is dedicated to peaceful rallies and are in no way affiliated with the Charlottesville rally on 8/12/17
While we maintain that every individual is entitled to their freedom of speech and defend that basic human right, we will not be offering our platform to racism or bigotry. We denounce the politics of supremacy and violence. We denounce the actions, activities, and tactics of the so-called Antifa movement. We denounce the normalization of political violence.

dunno if this is just cover, though. or if the nazis won't try to hijack this, too. they are angling for more national recognition.

Of course it's not affiliated with the Charlottesville rally. But it's affiliated with their own rally in May. And the central speaker I was referring to as being a violent criminal (Kyle Chapman) is from that May rally in Boston. And the list of groups and flags I referred to is also not from Charlottesville, but from the May Boston rally.

С другой стороны

Вот живет Вильям, оценивает мир вокруг себя, и приходит к выводу ( какими своими там путями ) что diversity hire ведет к снижению уровня руководства. Что он теперь должен делать со своими взглядом на мир ? Обсуждать на кухне с единомышленниками при закрытых шторах ?

you are joking, right? trolling? the problem with William is that he apparently equates WOMAN HIRE with DIVERSITY HIRE. maybe BLACK HIRE too?

that is .. a problem. at dream, one commentator proposed a retort - is that how you view me, too?

a nice retort, but a dangerous one. it invites a confrontation.

Well, at my University we do know what hire is 'gender equality hire' - there are positions for women only ( here in Canada we do not have black issues), so, I don't know, maybe it was known at the firm as well ?

BTW. you did not want comments on your bannon post.

the is some evidence that he gave the interview after being fired.

i am happy he is out. i always said he should never have been in.

I want comments, just in DW. Someone said as much there, and I think that makes a lot of sense (that he gave interview when he already knew that he was out).

мне кажется, не calling it out безопаснее для себя, но не продуктивно в долгосрочном плане. однако как в каждом конкретном случае это решать - сложный вопрос

Слушай, может я чего неправильно помню - но ты ведь тоже писала, что она не слишком профессиональна и у нее не было соответствующего опыта? И что ее приняли именно в плане "позитивной дискриминации"? То есть в случае с Вильямом я бы безусловно возмутилась, и даже скорее всего вслух (потому что у меня с тормозами проблемы :)) - но...

you are contradicting yourself. if this is indeed the case - ее приняли именно в плане "позитивной дискриминации - then William has a point, and is completely right. then why lash out at him?

Я, наверное, недостаточно ясно сформулировала. В случае с каким-то абстрактным Вильямом у меня на работе, если бы он так отозвался о хорошем работнике (работнице) - я бы возразила. А если о том, кто у меня вызывает сомнения в компетентности - то нет.
