Chief executives at 27 of the biggest companies, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Amazon.com Inc. and Google owner Alphabet Inc. have committed to hiring 100,000 low-income and Black, Latino and Asian New Yorkers by 2030—an effort that comes during a monthslong wave of protests about racial inequality.
The companies are launching an initiative called the New York Jobs CEO Council, which also will include other nonprofits and New York schools to prep students for jobs that will lead to careers, according to a statement....
Blatant discrimination!
WokeCapital
Those offices have to be cleaned at the end of each day.
get woke, go broke
Now building rooms to keep them in.
Looks like a good way to get sued into oblivion 🤷 Nobody cancelled the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. So like, good luck with establishing quotas, eh
lol but I'm constantly told about my white privilege while universities and large corporations around the country have been doing this for years. I'd gladly trade my white privilege for black privilege anyday
This is virtue signaling by the corporations. They'll never do this thats why the deadline is so far out. Once this falls out of the news cycle it will be forgotten.
They need new slaves
Hiring them — as what? Is there really a pool of 100,000 “low income” investment bankers and stock analysts (of any race) in NYC? Ohhhhh... oh you mean that’s not how it works? That isn’t what you meant to imply? Well, maybe you should stop going along with the pandering then.
Get ready for businesses to tank.
I'm going to legally change my name to Jermaine so at least I can get in the door easier.
No matter how you slice it, this is racist. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but in the end this is discrimination based on race.
Just like Martin Luther King dreamed of...
Use this as an example when you're asked if systemic racism exists.
Where does content of character play any role?
Hiring or firing with any racial, ethnic or gender bias (for or against) is wrong and a huge step backwards from true equality.
New York is on its way to the gutter-people are leaving in large numbers-there’s a reason
What’s a monthslong ?
That’s kinda scary. To think that someone could be excluded from these jobs based on the colour of their skin. It’s like we’re moving backwards.
I think there are laws against hiring someone based on race.
There are a lot of poor white people in New York
This article is behind a paywall so low income Black, Latinos, and Asians can’t read it. Clever, WSJ. Clever.
So if someone says they identify as those things, do they get the job?
As a shareholder in many of those companies, I don’t care what color your labor is, just make sure you can wring a profit out of them.
Is this the white privilege people speak of?
So I should tell my sons to start checking off different boxes?
They are hiring the cheapest possible Workers!?...........WOW!😱........what a noble.....and selfless Sacrifice..... 🦐
That's against the law...
Nonsense! So you discriminate against one group of people to facilitate the progress of other groups ! How about the best person for the job, discriminatory!
Could they give the protestors some jobs now so they still stop the vandalism?
So what I am reading is that these companies heavily discriminated in the past and now want to cover it up by ignoring laws against discrimination.
Gee.. how empowering. We'll hire you because you're poor and a minority. Not because you're qualified.
'According to our latest stock numbers, we haven't been racist enough to satisfy BlackLivesMatter!'
Is this legal?
Hire people because they are competent and can do the job, not those who only fit a racial profile. So many of the people you talk about can’t get good jobs because they can’t do them.
Remember when months long protests were AGAINST racist hiring practices? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I'm guessing none of the executives will be giving up their positions to help fill these quotas.
They don't want jobs.
Add me in that list 😉
Lol, are Asians having a hard time finding jobs?
I’m ginger; where’s my quota?
Racist and illegal.
And pay them less than $15 an hour.
WOW!!! 100,000 people in 10 years!!! Somebody get them some water, a fan, a chair.
Judging someone by their skin color is the definition of racism.
Complete racism. Fucking disgusting.
When the hiring is based on skin colour, is this considered slave hiring practices?
They are lying in order to be left alone from the woke army. Hire qualified people, regardless of color.Educate the communities that are behind. Parenting/education/respect is the quality lacking. Show me a lagging community & I'll show u them lacking in the above 3 things
Now it's time the NFL and NBA to do this. What's fair is fair...unless they're racists!
Are there low income Asians?
With the textbook corporate strategy these companies follow, it would be interesting to study how many jobs open up when people retire. I bet that raio is 1 (new job/ of people retiring in the yr)
They will be sued into the ground. Hire for class, not for race.
And 27 HR departments shitcan their previous policies
Words.
How About employing the most suitable person for the role. This pc bs is getting way out of hand. CEO’s need to grow a pair and put the companies best interest front and centre.
So they're going to create 100,000 jobs and explicitly exclude a group of people based on the color of their skin? I believe there's a word for that. It'll come to me in a minute.
27 of 100 businesses will have a lousy workforce
That's called racism
This seriously reads like they are fighting racial inequality by committing to pay Asians low incomes.
They probably would have done that anyway.
what a joke, our white ancestors would be ashmed to see this, Imagine opening up the country for everyone to enter and this happens, our society has been racist for a long time against white people that is.
It is shameful that many will have to be taught to read, write and speak
Wtf? This is fucking stupid
But I thought Asians already have privilege hence why they are required to have higher SAT scores to get into schools than whites and blacks?
Woke discrimination
Ok. So we have been accused of having an unfair advantage in the workplace for many years. Now it’s time to give unfair advantage to POC. I get that. See how they fair when given the chance.
🤣🤣🤣
Will there be genetic testing to insure racial purity?
Scary stuff, people. This is the most oppressive sounding creepy double speak 🥴
Asian eh. Lol
Fixing racial inequities via racial discrimination . 🤡🤡
This will actually be easier now, considering all the people with means (mostly white people) have fled the state.
How about just hiring the most qualified people?
Racial quotas is the definition of racism
Hiring in what capacity? Mailroom or the boardroom?
I like how they threw asian in there knowing that will encompass 90~% of this fabrication
Thats all thats left.
You would need a Benjamin Moore paint colour chart to test against skin colours just before the interview. This is the most rascist and predijuced company policy I’ve yet seen.
I understand the low income thing but why the race targeting?
Want show up.
Terrible decision
Does this concide with the complete eradication of Civil Rights Act of 1964?
To do what exactly?
Will there even be 100K people left living in NYC by 2030?
Training too? Good luck.
Can they provide the exact quotas that each race will represent so that I can know which companies will discriminate against me the least?
Big Bank customer service has never been better!!!!!
Hiring 100K in 10-years goal sounds quite ambiguous. Economy is evolvingin very unexpected ways that the picture for the next decade is difficult to foresee. I wonder how many of those top guys will be in their companies by 2030
Ten years from now 🤔🙄
Lies 🤥
Racial quotas eh? How about the NBA and NFL?
Aren’t there any low income whites, or don’t they matter?
You get what you pay for is a quote I have heard my whole life
Thats the only people that will be left there
Quotas won't fix racial inequality. What will fix it? Mostly stable marriages & a father in the home.
Please speak about our case in Egypt ... Case of 36,000 teachers without work within the Ministry of Education and Egyptian education The ministry took from our pockets a lot of money to be hired as teachers, but it was a fraud for us Government totally ignores us ... Help us
Interesting Asians were included there, no offense
Will it count when they just hire 100,000 Asians?
Login come & black so disgusting
PMOIndia HRDMinistry
That will totally stop the riots!
