The only gripe i have with DEI is when it supersedes common sense, like when hiring someone for a tech job that only ticks DEI check-boxes but has no tech skills at all. Hopefully it seldom happens (and this phenomenon predates “DEI”).
Edit: wow, the echo-chamber vibes are strong on this one. 😆
Not whining or caring either for that matter; and for “engaging” to make sense all the parties involved would have to be ready for some constructive discussion.
Okay. Can you point to any studies performed around performance of diverse hires causing problems in the workplace?
Because a lot of workplaces I know that have had “problem hires” who argue with people or flaunt their position have generally exhibited entitlement that links to being white or male (like myself). Do HR firms ever pick people to check a box, in a rush to avoid an all-white panel? Yes, and they could do better in their practices. Whenever I hear that happen, it tends to be isolated incidents - not a habit that leads to a nonfunctional workplace. I admit, that comes from shared anecdotes, but it often feels common-sense. If you’d like to find proof on that subject, I’d be eager to discuss it.

That doesn’t happen with DEI and it didn’t happen with ‘diversity hires’ either.
White men do love to hire other white men who aren’t qualified though. That happens all the fucking time.

They’re rejecting DEI in favor of WEI: White, Entitled, and Inept.
Then it is on you to engage with the replies to your comment instead of whinging into the void.
