Yep. I can identify with that thought.

You should make a decision based on what is important for making the decision.
So it is not just bulgy eyed (white males (you did not say it bit you meant it) in fact a lot of her generation think millennials are fooking idiots and she stop arguing over which bathroom to use and do something useful.Comment

Just seen an advert on clientco screens. They want diversity - so recruitment regardless of physical ability or mental ability.
I thought they would want the best for the job.Comment

Generally people should be hired on merit not any other measure.
The problems with that approach seems to be that 'white male's' are more likely to hire more 'white male's' unless forced not too.
So generally we are back to 'institutionalised sexism/racism' argument.Comment

Google is a private company and has its values, which are well known. Nobody is forced to work for them.Comment

There's kind of a fundamental flaw in being all PC about "diversity". A company and it's employees need to be 100% focused on delivery. In a business that runs that way, it gets to be automatically pretty diverse. I mean, who cares flying f**k if a piping designer uses a wheel chair or if civil engineer is deaf? In my honest experience, NOBODY cares. An organisation that focuses resources on diversity is actually admitting it is failing, in my view. I think it has a potential to be very damaging indeed to a company by deflecting attention and resources towards non productive actions and ideas in the name of being PC about "diversity".Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
