Diversity for the sake of a title is racist or bigoted behavior weakening the team to the lowest common denominator with intentional contamination. Diversity when all considered for a role are equal and the choice is because of sex, skin color, whatever, is still racist or bigoted behavior. There will always be metrics that cause applicants to have a ranking. Skin color, sex, religion, whatever should not be one of those metrics. If so, that is bigotry and telling that person they are NOT good enough to make it because of their hard work.
I worked for a company once that was trying to pitch to nice ..
At the time micron has mainly been memory chips but had recently (last few years) been making laptops... out sales guy walked into the pitch meeting with the micro. CEO... who promptly threw the sales persons DELL laptop across the room and told our sales guys to get out.
Know your audience...
Not that I agree with racism... but know your audience...
I think it's ridiculous that WW would get involved with some big fat phony like Doprah who's probably had more that a truck load of lard removed from her surgically.
Slam me but it's the reality today in business.
Someone didnt do their homework. She is ONLY about the dollar and her people.
If they did not have a single person of color in the room, they should lose the deal because they are stupid.
Yup...don't use Skype for a meeting / call with Cisco, don't use Webex for a meeting with a Microsoft Development partner, etc. I've had individuals think I was micro managing those best practices till a Cisco rep ripped one of my people for not knowing his audience.
Beyonce..... Nobody in this room reflects my background, my race, and where Im from and what I want to do.
What an elitist arrogant racist self serving individual! She needs get her own company instead of trying to make others into her own Image.
New Balance is one of my best customers.
Only brand for me and my family.
Hollywood actors always deny everything negative they do and say. That’s why they’re ‘actors’, so they can role play whatever the moment calls for.
Uh, Reebok is a subsidiary of Adidas, so this is like saying that Buick screwed up when Cadillac got some deal. Ridiculous article. It’s all the same company.
Just imagine if the races were reversed.
Didn't know that, thanks
So basically she won’t work with anyone who doesn’t look or act like her. Racist POS.
Bill Cosby did that throughout his entire career. Would not hire white people.
Never understood why people fawned over him.
Black Power on parade!
Reminds me of when Hazel OLeary was Energy Secretary. She was at a meeting at Los Alamos where she did not let the meeting proceed because there wasnt a black person in the room she demanded that at least one black person be in the meeting and she didnt care who. Right now. This very minute. So they jumped to her demand (which was a temper tantrum). Then they could not discuss anything because not everyone had a Q Clearance, since the first priority from Madam Secretary was that there be a black person in the meeting, nothing else mattered.
Look at pictures of the crowds at her concerts and they are all white women.
This may not be true at all. So don’t opine on it to long. She may have wanted more money, and decided a diversity grievance sounded less greedy.
