Is there any more bullshit job than Chief Diversity Officer?

I mean can you imagine where your whole career is to basically sell the bullshit that in order for your company to be as "diverse" as possible you have to have the proper mix of vaginas and skin tones in the 21st century.

Think Im being a little hyperbolic? Dont forget just a few months ago Apple fired their VP of Diversity for saying this:

“There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation,” the inaugural diversity chief said.....“Diversity is the human experience,” she said, according to Quartz. “I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT.”

Yeah...she was a black woman too....fired. Not so much about the "human experience thing". Gotta toe the rhetoric, it really is just judging people by their genitals and skin color.

Fuck not IBM too!

I was invested in IBM.

I've said it many times in the past and I'll say it again, Feminism (particularly hiring quotas) is a sell signal for a stock. The day they start focusing on unfounded "gender bias" is the same day they stop focusing on innovation. I don't give a shit what color or gender someone is, I care if they can create new technology and make breakthroughs that will drive up the companies bottom line. I think Peter Thiel put it best "Having a diversity of people who look different doesn't create a diversity of ideas." Fuck you IBM.

One can only hope that this "highly sensitive hiring data" will be made public knowledge. Then we can all be pissed.

I'd be interested in the "sensitive data" and wouldn't be surprised if by "diversity" they mean white females.

I hope IBM wins. Why shouldn't top HR people be treated like top engineers? Aren't the feminists insisting that the jobs have the same merit and should be compensated the same?

Chief diversity officer? Hey I got an idea, how about, and try to follow me here, you just hire the people who are most qualified to fill the positions you have available (and here's the tricky part) REGARDLESS of their race, sex, sexual orientation, or religion. Wow, look how easy that is!
