Another Webcast today on diversity, hiring and promotion. On one hand, the goal is to get to a race/gender distribution pie chart inline with the country and STEM workforce. On other hand, promises about not filling a quota and hiring the best candidate for the job. And... how to do look at the metric for hiring the best candidate for the job... a big fat zero. Driving to a certain pie distribution IS filling a quota without guardrails.
This company really s—s at measuring what matters.
Let's just say that we get to the right pie chart, we would still be stuck with a bunch id–ts in management. And id–ts will keep promoting id–ts.
