I work in tech, mostly support and admin stuff and a bit of scripting. My team is seriously overworked and my team lead has been asking for a new hire for more then a year. We finally got a new guy, he is Mexican. That in itself is not important but I was spending time trying to explain to him what we are doing on this project and the guy does not even know how to ssh to a host. When I got hired I had to pass tests on networking, bash scripting and linux, the tests I took are not enough for what we do and should have covered a lot more but this guy knows less then a high school student that likes computers.
I'm so done with affirmative action bullshit. I have nothing against the guy and wish him all the best but this is demoralizing. We've been so freaking overworked for so long, fuck this crap.
Problem is the rest of her racial/gender demo didn’t achieve equality of outcome when given equality of opportunity. This can easily be explained by documented and verifiable differences between relevant groups of people, but that conclusion is anathema to the clean slate doctrines at the heart of leftism. The only acceptable solution, according to Marxists, is equity aka equality of outcomes aka flattening results aka communism.
Doesn't change the fact that you can't rely on demographic statistics when there's actually a person in front of you that you need to try analyze for money.
That was how diversity was promised and made perfect sense. My employer was like that but change drastically in the last 4 years.
