SEATTLE, WA (September 24, 2008) – Washington Mutual, Inc. (NYSE:WM), one of the nation’s leading banks for consumers and small businesses, has once again been recognized as a top employer by Hispanic Business magazine and the Human Rights Campaign. **snip** The Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) civil rights organization, also awarded WaMu its second consecutive 100 percent score in the organization’s 2009 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which measures progress in attaining equal rights for GLBT employees and consumers. WaMu joins the ranks of 259 other major U.S. businesses that also received top marks in the annual survey. The CEI rated a total of 583 businesses on GLBT-related policies and practices, including non-discrimination policies and domestic partner benefits.

Wonder if they’ll report on how diverse those laid off will be a few months from now.
The VP and staff in charge of the Department for Queer Employees ought to have been shifted over to the Department for Making Money.
I hope BOR had stock in that company.
Lol. How nice for them
And now what?
So WAMU, how’s that “emphasis on diversity” thing working out for you?
Man, this sucks!
Nice job, WAMU. To you it is not your character that counts. It is who you are and how or who you screw.
Well, WAMU, you have just screwed the nation.
What a POS bank.
Yeah, “diversity” must have been their strength,
because sound financial decisions obviously weren’t.
Wonder if JP Morgan will be as willing to hire based on victimhood instead of on merit.
maybe they can sell the trophy on eBay to pay their salaries.
Proving YET AGAIN that a QUALIFIED staff (of any color/makeup) is far better than a DIVERSE staff.
They want DIVERSITY.....We want COMPETENCE!
LOL!
WaMu tried to screw us last year. We took our business elsewhere.
Interesting. A review of the 2007 annual report shows that the executive committee consisted of 11 white males and 1 white female.
“diversity” = not hiring the most qualified individual for a given job = racism = sexism
I was in HR for years where the almighty “diversity” was worshipped and promoted. Of course, the most diverse of employees let the others carry the load.
Maybe this financial crisis will be the beginning of the end for Polical Correctness. We simply cannot afford it.
Great ad copy there. “Washington Mutual is the gayest bank ever!”
WaMu has now become the poster-child for affirmative action hires in the Banking sector.
Will WaMu be able to take the award to a pawn shop or something ???
If half the energy that was devoted to achieving RACIAL diversity had been devoted to prudent financial management, maybe WaMu would still be solvent.
