Corporate diversity policies sacrifice loyal employees on 'equity' altar
Fox News ^ | 6/14/22 | Nick Williams

Posted on 06/14/2022 3:02:03 AM PDT by markomalley

My multiple awards and sales put me in the top 1% of all American Express employees for eight consistent years. I loved the company and "bled the AmEx blue." I even considered getting a tattoo of the famous AmEx Centurion. Until the company turned on me for not putting the company’s DEI policies above American Express’s credit-worthy standards.

My journey into purgatory began with a request by a potential client for a large credit line. I responded to this inquiry by applying all the company’s standard credit checks. The client refused to comply, and in the process very rudely harassed me and my Black male colleague whom I assigned to directly service her. Still, I did not decline her request. Rather I sent it up the chain for further review.

Fatefully for me, the potential client was a Black woman who viewed my actions as emblematic of a narrative of racism against her. Thus, she complained to corporate that American Express might be exhibiting "systematic racism."

(snip)

After finally firing me, American Express destroyed my credit line when I refused to sign a Release of Claims document promising I would keep my mouth shut about this whole business. I refused my "payoff" (severance package tied to the Release of Claims being signed) to be quiet. As a result, on the very next day, American Express canceled all of my credit accounts. They even put me and every LLC associated with me on a credit "Match list," effectively a blacklist for all credit card processors.

Diversity Inclusion and Equity (DIE) programs are important KPIs for a good ESG score. Fiduciary responsibility isn't.

I'm sure that the owners of Amex, who hire the CEO, do care.

And, well, now that the SEC regs have been "updated" by the Pedo Joe Regime, the government is involved as well.

Sad reality...

Corprate Racism.

Fascism.

Make an interesting law suite.

Civil Rights violation, racial discrimination in employment.

Promises to be a very interesting case.

We are in Civil War II, folks. This is an example of how modern day warfare is fought.

The real Tragedy of Lincoln's assassination is that he was preparing to pack them up in ships and send them back to their homeland across the sea. Booth was a bigger bonehead than one can imagine.

Fascism is like that. The German people were powerless to stop it once it got wheels back in 1928. Like we see now, too many people remain silent and just go along to get along.

I believe Biden and his running dog fascists puppet masters will create a war before the next presidential election. Its the ultimate distraction and “unifier.” We have very little time to act, which is why November 3rd is so important.

Where will they build their first mass elimination facility for White Supremacists?” Death by innoculation followed by rapid organ harvesting like the Red Chinese do? The level of hatred these fascists have for America is beginning to reach those critical levels as the polarization between these fascists and patriots continues to mount.

The next notch up is Rowe vs Wade.

Wife has been passed over twice in 3 years for promotion. Either a blacks or hispanics have gotten both supervisory positions.

My how times have changed. A few years ago it was more like this:

Husband has been passed over twice in 3 years for promotion. Women have gotten both supervisory positions.

When this was done at my job years ago I just reduced my hours to the bare minimum; they need workers to do the real work, and it didn’t help that the gender tokens worked the bare minimum as well - so nobody could say anything. I didn’t “quiet quit” (show up doing little work), I just carefully monitored the amount of time the job consumed - and the rest was play time (or sleep time). No email or phone contact outside of the 9-5 timeframe, and days off are truly DAYS OFF.

If they want to lower the bar, I can deal with it; I’m no help to the tokens in over their heads either.

All part of the Democrats’ war on merit and competency.

It’s a “reign of terror”. They’ll eventually kill themselves. Even Bernie Sanders had to put out an order to stop hiring activists. But once you let that poison in it just eats out the body from the inside.

All this can be traced back to the old AT&T and its signing of the Consent Decree with the Nixon DoJ in 1973. This agreement was the price AT&T paid to get out from under an FCC suit. Unfortunately for the nation, this was just the camel’s nose.

The banking crisis of 2008 started in the 90s when Attorney General ReNo declared that any mortgage lender who dared deny a "person of color" a mortgage would have the weight of the United States Government drop upon them.

They got the message and started giving mortgages to anyone with a pulse.

The rest is history

And here we go again!

And a message to Fox News: it's "black"...not "Black".

remember Sears and Roebucks. They tried the whole single race promotion thing back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It destroyed a once ginormous retail corporation.

You're damn' right they did. Straight out of college with a Computer Programming degree, I took Sears' two day long computer programming aptitude test, then went through another two full days of interviews.

Scored 94 on the aptitude test and sailed through the personal interviews.

I was turned down, even though at the time I worked for Sears in their Central Call Taking Center in Melrose Park, IL as a call center supervisor (while putting myself through college.)

When my manager, who manged the entire Sears Service Center on N. George St. in Melrose Park learned I was turned down, he began asking why. The response I received: Sears was looking to fill their minority quota.

So I wasted four days of aptitude testing and personal interviews, only to be turned down because I was the wrong color.

I quit Sears that day, cut up my credit card and never ever stepped foot in a Sears store ever again.

Different companies are focused on different diversity. Mine is still women > minority, especially for global stats
