Most tech companies are now openly discriminating in hiring. It will take a few prominent lawsuits to stop this shit. The last role I hired for was marked black only by HR. I never saw a white candidate.
Those law suits won't change shit. At most they will pretend to vet white men then never hire any of them. Hooters can discriminate and has stood up to law suits.
Hooters can do that because the law allows discrimination when necessary for the purpose of authenticity or genuineness for an actor or fashion model.
That doesn't apply to most jobs.
But I agree with you that lawsuits won't change much, if at all. They might try to be more sly about it but that's all.
Do they count Pakistanis as black? Because there were entire departments of Pakistanis who refused to hire non Pakistanis in my last company.
Imagine the S m e l l
Perhaps a good response to this kind of things would be to ask if they follow Günther's racial classification scheme. I need to know because I'm Slavic and so BIPOC in his classification.
No, this was specifically black only. Africa/African American/south and Central American.
There are already boatloads of Indians and Pakistanis at work.
HR departments need to be abolished.
And ask adults to resolve conflict like adults? That's crazy talk!
Deprive women of a lucrative career circle-jerking about feelings, imposing diversity quotas, implementing language policing policies and overall diminishing a company's efficiency and profitability?
Absolute madness.
Can you imagine how much toxic masculinity the productive members of a company would create if they weren't being henpecked to death daily by a bunch of highly-medicated femcels?
HR departments are there to ensure legal compliance
Nothing will change until "civil rights" legislation that abolishes freedom of association is overturned.
This is why we only hire for our dev team based on internal referral (we recruit them). HR only gets involved when we walk them over to fill out their "you're hired" paperwork.
