Family members of mine are in tech, and do work that is in the 2xx,xxx range. One's based, one's semi-based. Both have had low levels of attention to their profiles on the regular but nothing outstanding given that the niche they both occupy is in demand and there isn't a lot of people to fill these seats. They both happen to be white people. One male, one female.
Linkedin has learning partnerships in a program called linkedin learning. Based person was doing some of these... got no real increase in attention. Out of bordem, my based family member completed their diversity training ESG/DIE program on linkedin.
Within 6 hours, literally, she had 8 people from 8 different companies reach out to her and ask her if she was looking for work. The next day, she had another 10 messages. Clearly, completing the humiliation ritual did something to the algorithm to give her top placement in searches.
Based told Semi-based. Semi-based family member completed it, but is male. Still suddenly went from getting no random messages to having 5 in his inbox after 12 hours.
What I'm saying is, play the game if you're desperate but be aware there's a fookin game afoot. I doubt, I severely doubt, anybody who is a recruiter put the ESG linkedin learning diversity bullshit as a requirement in their canvasing searches. But here we go, the company is putting their thumb on the scale for progressivism.
Progressives want you broke, homeless and starving.
(Maybe the boost in interaction is designed to be like a cult's "love bomb" to encourage engagement with wokeshit.)
I'll keep that in mind when I'll want to change jobs.
Each time I do one of those mandatory DIE trainings I grow ever more resentful, at least I can get some benefit from it.
I love that other people are calling it DIE.
I've heard that soon they're going to change from "DEI" to "EA", for "Equity and Antiracism" Barf.
Because everyone already loves the EA tag...
lol ea its in the lawsuit... no joke that would be hillarious if this somehow sparked litigation from electronic arts for brand confusion or something.
