“Companies that are really committed to diversity understand it can’t just be a ‘strong economy’ commitment.”

Certain departments at tech companies outside engineering, such as business development, customer success, communications, and marketing, also tend to be more heavily stacked with women and historically underrepresented ethnic minorities. Brown says these types of roles have garnered increasing respect and prominence in recent years.

Kaplan also told WIRED that managers often don’t take into account how processes used to identify workers or roles to eliminate may be biased against certain demographics. “Even systems that are designed to be neutral end up disadvantaging women and people of color,” she says. Research has shown that in performance reviews, women and especially people of color are oftenfor similar performance than their colleagues, making them appear to contribute less than they really do.

I'm sure that's the first thing the recently fired 50k developers have on their mind.

We don’t care what you think. Perhaps your writers should go start their own business and run it as they see fit.

Employment should be based on merit.

They'll let go those who are low seniority and underperforming 'quiet quitter' slackers regardless of what lables they try to hide behind. To do otherwise would be bad for business.

who determines the correct level of representation tho

No more rainbows?😂

Predictable

Spin out how you like. End of day, a lot of tech jobs are simply bloat.

When you force yourself to hire someone based on everything but qualifications .. you put them in positions that are expendable. Im tired of this wokeness. You create problems then report on them. Very annoying. Bunch of white kids. Im not white.

What if that’s all they’re qualified but the government forces you to put them somewhere? You should just hire an under qualified person because they’re underrepresented?

This article is shit and laughable lol

How about a novel idea? Only hire Qualified people with character, not by the colour of their skin, or what sex they prefer?

the solution to lack of diversity was a hack job? ...Nah! too cynical to be real!
