Don’t feel alone, at Boeing, I sat through enough of those mindless ethics training days and annual ethics testing.
All while we watched the VPs and business unit presidents skirt around the edges but always bow before the PC king.
Was at one of those training days and some female VP of a defense sector business unit led the discussion and mentioned how Boeing was “old, male and pale” and this needed to be changed. Of course, the old male and pale comment drew laughs from all the women and minorities in the room. And this happened in a training session on how NOT to be insensitive, how not to offend!
And in Boeing, executives get pay bumps if they mentor females and minorities but not for white males. They don’t get pay bumps for white males with the result that ONLY women and minorities are mentored and given a leg up in the business.
Meritocracy is no longer the operative word. It is what you ARE, not what you DO that matters.
Mediocrates. Famous greek god I think. LOL! In any case, glad I’m not subject to that crap any more.
