How about most tech companies this days hire diversity that leads to crap that almost kills smaller companies.

Are you referring to something specific? I don't know how to respond to this because it's pretty vague.

You're pulling out these stories that, while indicative of a poorly run company, really only come down to your word. Fact is there's not a whole lot of information that actually supports what you're saying, so forgive me for not taking the anecdotes as super important news.

At this point I just assume you are an emotional driven woman.

Yeah, a lot of people like to go and make assumptions about the other person they're commenting with to justify whatever it is they're hearing. Happy to prove you wrong though so you can come correct.

I don't think it's at all unreasonable to allow employees to make mistakes (provided they learn from them) and to give them a voice. Unless the training is also telling workers to not afford the same courtesy to white employees, I don't see an issue.

See this just means you are not discussing in good fate

This is exactly how my first job ran, with my team of white males (and one middle eastern male who was an above average performer). We were given a long training regime and then our own projects where we largely looked after ourselves. Each of us made mistakes, as any new employee would. Nobody was ever reprimanded for it, if anything everyone came down and talked about their first time crashing one of the machines or busting the spindle or whatever. It's how people learn.

Yes, I believe that sort of training should be pretty normal. I don't think it's racist unless the training was "only allow black people to make mistakes. If white people make mistakes then punish them."

No, I do not.

Cool story indeed! Sounds like their tech company sucks if they're hiring unqualified supervisors.

Mm, not all, clearly.

2 employers ago had training about how white people need to allow people of color to make mistakes.

Generally I think it's decent practice for managers to let their employees make mistakes no matter what color their skin. It's how people learn.

Sounds like the company you work for kind of sucks. I haven't had that issue at the major tech companies where I've worked, nor have I seen guys at their major tech companies complain so much on it.

That sounds like an issue with your company, and I agree that it should be fixed.

I don't see that sort of discrimination happening in companies I've worked for, especially considering as a white man I'm still being afforded opportunities, and I'm seeing well qualified individuals get hired when I do the interview process.

To call it wholly "anti-white" though is a stretch.

They would literally hire people that had no idea how to do their job, they scored incredibly low and yet got hired because they where not a white man.

Okay, you didn't say that. All you said was that they hired a bunch of white men. How do you expect me to get this information from your previous comment?

Were you in the interview process for these candidates?

So I don't get where the discrimination is. You're hiring white employees, thus affording them opportunities.

The only background you gave is that you hired a bunch of white guys...

I do a bit of standup, but also do some sketch and improv too. It's a fun side hobby and it's cool to get paid to make people laugh.

Same!

I'm glad as adults though we can recognize it as being crap.

Loads! Been busy doing comedy shows around my city which has been fun. Just went out on a solo camping/hiking trip, stayed at a farmstead and met some good people while I was out on the trails, really been enjoying myself.

It's nice to have the means not only to survive, but also thrive and do the things I love.

You know there's a middle ground right? You don't have to paint a trans flag to do good work for your community.

Why not volunteer to pick up trash? Or deliver food to the elderly? Or do a park restoration project?

dry, boring people living their monotonous lives too. All judging others from whatever sense of moral high ground they're standing on compared to others. Most seeing fun as vice. Canadians in general also seem to be too untrusting of others and guarded.

It's like looking in a mirror, huh?

I don't really care to.

Ah yes. Might as well cling to your beliefs without verifying if they are true, and declare that the boys must be guilty.

Even without that evidence, a bunch of kids giving specific details about a crime, admitting to parts of it, and implicating each other in all of it is more than enough in my mind.

So if I confess to the crime to you right now, even though I've never been to central park, does that mean I must have done it too? I know specific details about the crime. And there's dirt inside my pants.

Mmm you’re gonna have to find out where you heard the dirt one too.

Either way, kids with dirty clothes is not a smoking gun by any means.

Remember when you said that me telling you to raise your standards was on par with telling you to eat rotten apples?

I thought that was pretty funny.

But you saying that metaphors like this is "amazing" is incredibly hilarious.

No, my metaphors are amazing.

Biggest lol yet hahaha

If a book said kill yourself because that would be better for you and the world, would you kill yourself?

Nope!

Even if you laugh at my sentence, you do the exact same thing.

Also nope!

Once again, your metaphors are bad.
