Among the many, many stupid things said in service of the republican victimhood complex, ‘reverse discrimination’ has to be one of the most stupid.
It’s awfully telling, though, like a tacit acknowledgement that they themselves discriminate, and “reverse discrimination” is retaliatory or something
Discrimination is discrimination. Calling one reverse is an attempt to make it sound less bad.

Why would she want to make the alleged harms done to her sound less bad? Especially in the midst of a lawsuit?
Interesting. I was recently told I have to hire a woman in a replacement role to balance it out. We have a bit over 70% female workforce, 64% women in senior positions, but the team I’m hiring for has 2 female, 3 male.
It felt very wrong, being put into a position where the best person for the job may not get it because of their gender. Just thought it was ironic, like humanity had gotten no where in the last 20 years despite appearances.
I’ve been hiring in a male dominated field for a while, and realistically, in those scenarios, you’re actually being asked to make sure you interview women at all, and if you go with a man, you need to be able to explain why the man was more qualified than the women you interviewed.
Anyone who has said they were forced to hire a woman, in my experience, has been disingenuous, and upset at the layer of accountability

Or more simply, they’re a shit manager who doesn’t know how to properly hire candidates and manage a team. I suppose there’s also the possibility that they are a shit manager incapable of defending their actions to their management because of incompetence. The embodiment of the Peter Principle.
The type of manager that throws their employees under the bus instead of taking responsibility, managing, and coaching effectively. Which seems to be about 80% of managers, and 95% of middle management.
If that’s true, which I doubt, that’s lazy DEI. Quotas in hiring were illegal since the 70s. Rather than forcing some magic diversity number you should be looking at what your demographics already are and take a critical look to see if your culture or product is driving a bias of some kind.
America != Humanity.
It’s easy to have the merit when the system is favoured towards men.
Some real sovcit stuff right here. You really understand the system don’t you?
What?.. The what?
Are to responding to the wrong comment or is it just self-projection. I have no idea how you formed such a link.
You never have to hire anyone because of affirmative action. Simply hire the best people for the job without regard to gender and your fine. That’s how it’s always worked.
The only difference between a woman and a man is they are in a protected class. So them suing when you hire chet from the country club even though he has less experience, is easier.
If you don’t see the connection to sov cits, I’m lost
@saltesc@lemmy.world, don’t hire this guy.
