Thread regarding HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation) layoffs

@td the word for that is nepotism. Just because someone is black doesn't make their negative traits "woke". That's just straight up ignorance.

It's all about the color 💚 🟩 📗 green

Pile of 💩

@ax you wonder why it’s woke??? Look at executive leadership. Maurice and Opella are both in over their heads and appoint their unqualified buddies. No sakes experience? Cool. You can be VP of sales. No account management experience? Cool. You can be VP of account management. Never been an HR professional for a company this size but you wear bow ties- cool- you can be in charge if HR! Incompetent and poor performers are rewarded if they check a box. The list goes on. The board is just as bad.

@ew there’s no need for DEI training when senior leadership models it everyday.

@fe funny how when minorities point out their actual reality based on divisions that people in power created, those people want to turn around and say “why are you creating division!?”

@a5 and women

@eq my goodness...just do a good job and you will succeed. We need to stop creating divisions amongst eachother with this drivel.

@eq We used to have a lot more DEI training, long before they folded to daddy trump and renamed it “stewardship”.

@ax it’s ridiculous to say because some groups did it in the past, it’s ok to do it to others now.

@en this question is exactly why I have to laugh at anyone who calls HCSC “woke.”

In past companies, I attended not one, but several workshops, on the topic of microaggressions alone, not to mention a lot more training on other diversity-related topics. In one job, we held a three-day department-wide anti-racism retreat.

One could only hope for an environment like that these days, where people are challenged to confront their own internal bias, rather than be invited to spew it forth as a honorable demonstration of “free speech.”

By the way, a microaggression is a subtle form of alienation and disempowerment against a minority. A common example is the backhanded compliment, such as “You don’t seem g-y,” or “Your English is so good,” or “You’re so articulate for a Black person.”

These are small but insidious ways that someone can call attention to and reinforce a minority’s outsider status to protect and assert their own dominance in a group setting.

What the he-l is a micro aggression? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@OP. I totally agree

@ax i dont care if a dolphin is in charge… all i care about is doing a great job and getting that API!

I’m surprised anyone can think HCSC is “woke.” Because we have BRGs? Because a large number of people in leadership positions happen to be Black? I’ve worked in very liberal places. HCSC isn’t anywhere close. Now, do I think there’s a bit of favoritism going on at upper levels of leadership? Absolutely. But that’s nothing white men haven’t been doing for centuries, so I (a white man) can’t blame people who have been historically disenfranchised for wanting to lift each other up behind them when they get an opportunity to do so

@at the way yall MISUSE woke is a masterclass in lack of literacy and comprehension. DO and BE better ffs!

@OP my experience here is you better find your club whether it's Hispanic, Feminist, G-y, Black, Asian, etc. or you will be treated that way. I worked in two departments and I didn't fit in with either. Nobody cared about me or my experiences. The company is the extreme of woke with all the BRGs, but forgot that we are all people who are, at the end of the day, all here to do a job.

Maybe that's why all of these layoffs are needed.

@ag This isn't an astute observation at all.

IT is 100% racist. Thats what you get from constant favoritism.

@a3 AGREED!

If you're biggest contribution is looking for racism and being overly sensitive you should feel ashamed you weren't one of the ones walked out. Most of us come to work to work, not to look for excuses to think of ourselves as victims.

@ag - Most of the IT teams are Indian. Get out if here with that racist nonsense.

We do have a lot of DEI hires, in upper management as you can see with their terrible results.

@OP I’m sorry you experienced this. The lack of diversity in some departments is beyond blatant and I’m my opinion has always been very telling. I am a disabled person and they refused to accommodate me despite have several doctors notes/requests/medical records. They talk a lot about diversity, inclusions and ethics but they do not walk the walk.

This company is woke in steroids. Look at leadership.

You are selling a story that no one buys.

@aa it’s not only blacks, it’s other poc and women. most of the IT teams here are a white boy’s club

@a6 said only incompetent white men experiencing major racist male fragility. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, stop whining about it. If you were qualified you would have gotten it.

@a7 not directed toward a person, but this thread you guys are ruining a very informative website and turning it into a non-video TikTok stop the BS rhetoric and stick to the fact so that people who are affected impacted and hurting can get their information. Quit ruining it for everybody.

If someone talked over you or dismissed what you said, it likely had nothing to do with race you were probably just saying something really d-mb. Hope this helps.

idk about poc or immigrants but IT has a problem with how they treat black people on their scrum teams. I'll leave it at that and focus on the layoffs. a luta continua.

@OP you awakened the racists.

@a5 this is so funny. can only be said on an anonymous website.

Agreed! The white men are passed up for most promotions.

@a2 concur! All I see are minorities in leadership. Entire teams of immigrants. The only folks experiencing racism and microaggressions at HCSC are Caucasian men.

If we're talking about IT then, YES.

@OP I've yet to find any company that is much different from HCSC. The vast majority of companies honestly do not really care about its employees.

Oh lord this is silly. This is the most over-the-top woke company I have ever worked for. People are just addicted to being seen a victim.

I guess we learned - these su-kers are not worth it.
