See, that’s the single „nice“ thing about the fascists taking over the country — you can see which companies really meant to make a change, and which companies merely swam with the current.

the facist rant is insanity. money isnt free and DEI is old news. even blackrock understood he couldnt milk it. If you want to solve women in tech you need to make more women study tech and not favor them for the jobs they don’t deserve if they are not fit for it. its statistics 101. they are overrepresented in tech jobs vs the number of women graduating in tech.

Downvoted but you are kind of right.
The most clear example of this was Indians flooding tech in the early 2000s. Like this was a few years after 9/11 when brown dudes with accents were facing crazy discrimination, but India had really strong STEM education and was turning out good programmers so they got jobs. If the industry blocked qualified individuals based on prejudice how the heck were middle eastern looking dudes killing it directly after 9/11?

>Google told employees that it would no longer set diversity hiring targets
Diversity hiring targets are by definition discrimination based on immutable characteristics. How is equality in the hiring process “fascist”?
Apple has a similar (illegal) hiring policy.
>Apple’s Vice President of Core OS – Software Engineering, Jon Andrews
>We’ve made some changes to the way we do manager hiring … There’s two questions at the top of an offer when it goes to approval. One is that a female was interviewed and that a URE [underrepresented employee] was interviewed. And … for management positions, I have said that I won’t approve an offer unless there’s a yes next to one of those.
