We've all known that it has been happening for decades, but it hits different when you're on the inside and have first-hand knowledge of their incompetence.
I know an HR Director who earns nearly $200k annually and can't type a paragraph without multiple obvious typos. She brings nothing to the table beyond filling a seat. All the heavy lifting is done by employment lawyers. Her and her ilk produce lame happy hour games and other bullshit that any 6th grader could match.
I've been with smaller company for quite a while now, but we got acquired and now I'm seeing the inside of one of the tech giants. It's even worse than I thought.
Every call has 12+ women doing the work of 2 competent men.
I'm exiting soon enough, and I'm not in HR so it doesn't impact me directly. It's just frustrating on a primal level almost. These worthless cunts walk around thinking they're doing something great. I feel really bad for Gen Z men. Pick a random dude off the street and he could step into these $200k HR roles tomorrow and crush it, but they'll never get the chance because they have a penis.
If I were starting my career today I think I'd say I'm trans because you can't beat this level of discrimination. You can start your own thing or find a small firm who isn't big enough to play the DEI game yet. But if you apply to a large corporation and you're a white man? Don't bother unless you say you're trans.
Just wanted to rant a bit. I know this isn't news to anyone here.
Not enough gets said about the fact that every man in America would be making twice as much money if it weren't de facto illegal not to give half of it to one protected class or another.
Every company with 100 engineers making 150k and 100 HR karens making 150k could be paying the engineers 300k if America had freedom of association.
