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.
Reminds me of when we were working with a boatswain mate and his undesignated crew. At one point he leans in and says want to see something funny? He then split the group into guys and girls then sent them off to move the zodiacs. The guys moved their boat immediately while the girls did pretend attempts to lift the boat. They never did lift it, instead the guys came and did the work for them. That is diversity, the strong covering for the weak.
Lol my dad has all sorts of stories like this from his time in the Navy (78ish-late00s). Women not being able to pull their weight (often literally when it came to chains and whatnot. Pretty dangerous apparently), coincidentally getting pregnant right before their ship was due to set sail, all sorts of nonsense.
I can’t imagine what it’s like now, deck rigging was a hilarious display when women were involved. This onesided “equality” is insanity.
The Navy killed Kara Hultgreen - she was the worst pilot ever to try to land on a carrier.
All because Democrats wanted female pilots.
Spoiler - unfortunately she crashed and died on one of her first flights
Holly Graf comes to mind
