Il sondaggio rivela che il 40% delle grandi aziende irlandesi ha perso i dipendenti da quando ha demolito le politiche DEI

A meritocracy once more

Good

* I joined FAANG in the early days and have seen DEI ruin so many product areas. Companies could afford to invest in it as it looked good so got a lot of people hired into roles they never been created in the first place.

* I remember one particular “historically excluded” person didn’t show up to the office or meetings for 2 years, replied to a few emails every now and then and was made a director. As soon as the layoffs started, when people looked at the role… GONE. This person now has the nerve to call themselves a career coach on LinkedIn given their “career success” and advises others, having never worked a day in their life.

* So many fast promotions and people riding the crest of a wave, especially from 2010 – 2022. I work for a company now in a different sector and a few years behind tech and the same modus operandi. I hear more about the companies activities in the DEI space, than I do about the company’s core products. I see “historically excluded” people getting fast promotions because they are joined a BRG. I see “historically excluded” people complain and escalate to get their way with people afraid to criticise them for fear of being called a ___ist. Not a lot of data driven decision making in this place OR in a lot of tech back in the day… which ultimately led to the layoffs as areas that were invested in were loss making and only existing to appease people in the company.

I guess I am bitter as I wish I had the nerve to tell people I am gay and neurodiverse but alas I don’t think it’s relevant in the workplace. The focus of private companies is to develop and release products, services etc. and to promote people capable of conducting their role and not to act as an instrument to help balance societal injustices of the past.

No big surprise, people have a choice who they work for and a toxic Trump following company is a 🚩 best avoided as people will remember in 10 years which companies supported monsters and scam artists.

Ireland badly, badly needs meritocracy. We are too small to be competitive otherwise. Can’t be handling charity cases. If you are a grown adult but are feckless in your field of choice, that’s tough luck. Happens to everyone. Everyone’s had the option to work on their skills more than their netflix backlog.

We signed the Equal Status Act at the start of the new millennium. We have never been further from that point than we are now IMO. This yankee shite is fundamentally anti-equality. Only fanatics are into this stuff. I have been working professionally since the late 2000s. With guys and gals. Almost 50-50 I’d say. Most great at what they do, and committed co-workers. Never been an issue until very recently with this yank discourse creeping in. Now I see new generations of young ladies who are highly aggressive, frankly, about their station, roles, duties, climbing ranks when there are no ranks to be climbed, etc. It makes for a highly toxic work environment. Us normies, men and women, just want to work, and focus on our actual task please, instead of being pulled non-consensually into a cold war for my direct report’s favour. Just. Be. Normal.

This article is also BS. Trying to suggest that people are horrified about actual equality so much that they sacrifice their employment and financial stability in a living environment where you have to pay 2K a month or live with your parents. lmfao not even Ireland has fanaticism on the level of the US. Get real.
