    She got a bogus and pointless position that literally anyone could do in some of the most successful companies worldwide where she was earning way more than she was worth and instead of taking advantage of the opportunity and investing while these dumb woke companies paid her to do nothing she decided to throw it all away and steal.....

    well . . . students get rejected by prestigious selective colleges and universities. That's what make those schools selective and prestigious.

    can't get it right all the time. But most of the folks in those encampments (at least at many schools) were not even students. There was an extremely high percentage of all-purpose protesters among the campers.

    that is the reason why neither Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Marco Rubio nor Vivek R was picked as Trump's VP​

    My opinion is if you are doing DEI as a PR/Marketing ploy to sanctimoniously promote yourself... just go ahead, and fire that team and save the money for other capital investments in products, bonus incentives, or infrastructure improvements.

    HOWEVER... there is extensive research done that proves over and over again that diverse teams are more productive. Here's just one example if you are incapable of using google:

    https://hbr.org/2016/11/why-diverse-teams-are-smarter

    What's crazy to me though is that there's someone on here that claims to be a CEO that seems to be almost angry and aggrieved at the idea that it might be a good idea to have a diverse workforce. Let me get this straight... you are a CEO of a global organization, and you don't have any sort of understanding that actually it's a good thing for your business???

    I've met exactly zero C level leaders in global organizations that don't have some sort of mandate for diverse backgrounds, and skillsets with the exception of mom and pop companies who just lucked into some sort of widget they build and sell that has a monopoly on their local market. In that case yeah you can get away with your sons, and buddies you grew up with being the only leaders in the company. In the real world... that's just not the way that successful businesses operate.

    I want the Most qualified person for the job.
    Unless they are from a telemarketing service. then you can place all you want there because i hang up after any 3 second pause.
    Even if it is my wife.

    I am for equal pay for all
    I am for hiring anyone who is qualified for the job.

    Would I hire Trump as the point guard for my team. No
    Would I hire Bronny James as my point guard. No. But if he has a degree, I can find him something in line with his studies.
    Would I hire Kaitlyn Clark for point guard for my team. Hell yes.
    Would I hire Kaitly Clark to play center on my team. No. She is a guard

    Square pegs do not fit into round holes.
    Best candidate gets the job, Black, White, Pan Asian, Gay, Straight, Trans, Binary, Brony don't care.

    Nobody here us suggesting a sterile all white male environment is best. Nobody. That is not the discussion and never was. Stop interjecting strawman arguments.

    It's all about organizations using DEI as a means to justify meeting quotas for certain classes that are not suited for the job.
