Based on what I’ve seen with our layoffs up here, the vast majority of our layoffs have been people of minority, or simply people who don’t fit the white male, cultural mould this company seems to cherish.
Is it the same down in the US?

Oh geez
Hey OP, I looked up Race Baiter in the dictionary and your Post ID showed up. Congrats!
Imperial oil is a diverse company only on paper. In reality, ethnic minorities have been long been discriminated against despite having great work ethics, relevant experience and strong educational credentials. They are constantly overlooked for promotions, ranked poorly while being stellar performers and are missing from the managerial cadre. They are highly susceptible to layoffs as well. Look at the on-line org charts on the Imperial intranet site and you will know what I am talking about. There is a lot of truth in the rising voices of racism and discrimination against visible minorities at Imperial. The highly controversial performance measurement system can be credited for creating a conducive environment to support this treatment and lack of advancement. So for those privileged and time deaf - there is no race card being played here.
when in doubt, throw the race card

You caused me to go look at the Imperial page. If it wasn't for your continual posts over there whining about racism, there'd hardly be any posts at all. Keep you divisive posts on IOL's page. We don't need any of that here.
I do not agree with this. Imperial is a very diverse company to begin with, some groups may have more minorities than others which could potentially make it seem these layoffs are racial based in some cases. If not 50/50, I have seen more Caucasian folks let go and being an engineer, I have seen mainly males which contradicts with above comments. Again it depends what you see in front of your eyes, until you see the bigger picture of what happened around the company as a whole, I don’t think we can say it had anything to do with race or s-x
It’s hard to tell because of how many people were separated but out of the ones I personally know, I’d say nearly all of them are people of color, and more women than men.
