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.
That was an obvious signal to anyone with half a brain that you should avoid her like the plague. A "woke' hiring manager would see her as a potential diversity hire based on neurodivergence and gender, and once she got her foot in the door you'd never be able to get rid of her unless you literally caught her in some form of gross negligence - and even then she'd probably try to sue the company for discriminatory practices in terminating her employment. Congrats on dodging that bullet.
Exactly. No one said it out loud, but this is why she made it to round 3 before we finally put it to bed. Someone really wanted the "different" "girl" and no one wanted to admit she'd be a liability even though we were all thinking it.
