This “Diversity” nonsense is a major factor in America’s political, social and economic decline. The Third World is a model of failure and it is a disaster to bring its denizens here and promote them to positions of authority. They bring their failed cultures with them.
We are fast approaching the day when it will be illegal to be a white male in this society.
Ask the Armenians, Jews, Russian "kulaks" etc what comes next.
Sure - Price means nothing so long as there are people on staff who "look like them."
The headline alone told me it was a waste of my time to even read the article.
I’m a white (1/2) male manager and it’s not the diversity, it’s the lack of qualified applicants.
I worked at a place when we heard a woman was going to be hired for a different branch at our apartment. First question (by five different guys) what does she look like?
I’ve gone through miles of resumes and rarely is one a woman.
I have no idea why.
This story is total BS. In any type of survey managers will aways say they are doing things well. Only in liberal fantasyland will people say that they are doing anything less than “good”. My company used to run suverys to find out about perceptions of the company. They quit doing it after having to acknowledge company shortcomings and the wide divergence betwen management responses and employee responses. Managers saw things through rose colored glasses. And guess what...we later dropped off of a best places to work list. LOL
It is difficult to coach and improve performance when you have to deal with people that do not speak the American language and do not share the same American values. Promoting diverse talent on merit? Come on, what does diversity have to do with anything when it comes to merit? As for strong diverse teams, it is very difficult to have a strong team without communication. Words have meanings. It just happens that I use a language that was at one time unambiguous to Americans. Now my words offend diverse people. It is difficult to lead a bunch of diverse people what are pissed off at you. Lastly, it is easy to include diverse voices in decision making, but you have to be able to handle the wrath of making decisions that don't include their "voices".
What a bunch of liberal PC BS! White men are constantly being bullied by liberals in the work place. I just can't convince myself that liberal ways of doing business actually work.
We are fast approaching the day when it will be illegal to be a white male in this society.

White males are being railroaded out of the American workplace. Just as the liberals like to blame America first, in the workplace its blame the white guys first. The only option left for white guys is to run your own business.
The terrible white man did most of the heavy lifting and thinking to build the nation with the most freedom, most powerful economy, the highest standard of living, to win two world wars, the Cold War and put men on the moon using slide rules and electro-mechanical technology.
Most of that is already lost or on the way to destruction thanks to political correctness and the mindless quest for diversity.
Diversity leads to Detroit, Dearbornistan and eventally we’ll all be living in a Third World cess pit.
“Our customers have made it very clear … that they want to see people who look like them,” Lovett said, noting that Alcoa is in 31 countries.
And this is why in the US, white people have an advantage ( and a disadvantage in many foreign countries)
It is what it is.
The best example of this has to be the popular tv show “the Big Bang theory” It is an excellent show in terms of intelligent dialogue and humor.
But the cast mostly “looks like the viewers” which is overwhelmingly white and occasionally a black person in the background.
This is despite the fact that we are talking about the Cal Tech physics department where Asians are 40% of the students and probably more in the physics dept.
It comes down to that you have to deliver what the customers want (which in the US means white people) and at the same time you want to be fair to your staff which often means not white people.
It is a difficult balancing act.
In the south, it seems now that so many government jobs are controlled by blacks. They do the hiring and they only hire blacks. A white man doesn’t stand a chance at one of these jobs now.
Gollee Gee, Gomer, WHY do you think that could be?
Price means nothing so long as there are people on staff who “look like them.”

True that. Very good post.
I work at a place that has undergone numerous reorgs just so they can insert the right skin colors and types of people to achieve diversity. Merit has nothing whatsoever to do with any of these promotions. And then the company wonders why morale is not good.
...
45 percent of white men gave a positive rating.
Pardon me, but if only 45 percent rate it even somewhat positive, how does that translate into "Great!" ?
If only 45% of white men liked banana bread, and 21% of women liked banana bread, and even less of other minorities, then you WOULDN"T SERVE BANANA BREAD VERY OFTEN, WOULD YOU?
A white man doesn’t stand a chance at one of these jobs now.

He wouldn’t want to work for the gubmint anyway unless being suffocated by bureaucracy, becoming an obsequious drone, and mentally withering away are their career objectives.
