My concern is that dei hiring practices are curtailing merit based hiring.
I don't care either way what ones political affiliations are or what one identifys as as long as they're the best for the job.
(This is simply a critical assessment of the issue and does not reflect any personal views on dei or what some refer to as woke)
That’s why whenever I hear people claim someone was a DEI hire they always follow up with a meticulous assessment of their qualifications, awards, interview performance and achievements and they compare them accurately with another applicant that had better qualifications, awards, interview performance and achievements. They don’t simply look at the first non white cis het male in a position of power and scream ‘DEI!!!’ betraying the bigotry that is actually pushing this. No siree.
I will contend that actually is more or less the case. Considering it is simply human nature to be more lazy than more productive.
If hiring personnel are dictated to hire more on dei then on merit that's what they're going to do.
I'm not saying that this is happening industry-wide across an entire population.
I'm just simply stating that it's a concern that this might be happening.
Then they duck and should be replaced
