Trump47 First Week & Beyond Catch-All

[Kraftyheel89]

There has never been a man more obsessed with and attacking windmills thinking they are giant foes since Don Quixote of La Mancha.

In fact, that great classic sums up Trump and Vance quite well. Don Quixote a madman thinking he is chivalrous nobility while misunderstanding everything. Sancho Panza the faithful dunce servant that will follow his deranged overlord down any ridiculous path.

I see you are still conflating DEI with affirmative action and hiring quotas.

The D and E in DEI are effectively the same as Affirmative Action.

They aren’t.

 

[ZenMode]

They aren’t.

They are.

• D = Don't hire too many cis, straight, white guys
• E = Don't promote too many cis, straight, white guys

 

[ChileG]

They are.

• D = Don't hire too many cis, straight, white guys
• E = Don't promote too many cis, straight, white guys

Link?

Link?

No link it going to explain it that way, but that's effectively what it is.

The "I" in DEI is just an additional initiative go out of your way to make the non-white, cis, straight males feel really welcome at work.

Do you have DEI where you work?

As a husband of a foreign service officer who was planning to work a remote State job while we’re in our next post in Africa this administration has totally fucked me. What a bunch of fucking clowns.

These are the evil clowns that make adults afraid to sleep in the dark!

Do you have DEI where you work?

I do. Three posters in one of our hallways dedicated to it.

And were you ever told that you have to meet quotas in hiring? Any corporate materials saying to meet hiring quotas?

Three posters on a wall? Brutal. How do you cope with that oppression.

I don't do any hiring. What do quotas have to do with the similarities between AA and DEI?

No straw men allowed.

There are similarities between Michael Jordan and Greg Paulus.
You keep using language (similarities, different sides of same coin) to say DEI and AA are the same thing. But they aren’t.

I said they are two sides of the same coin AND I explained the similarities and differences.

 

[ChileG]

The difference is that AA and DEI aren’t the same thing. Which has been my point.
But several posters here are talking about DEI as if it were AA.

It would be completely reasonable for someone to be against AA but be for DEI.

Dear God, no! How do you manage?

That was really well explained. Succinct, too. Thanks!
