Are you a White computer guy? IBM doesn't want you. Leaked video of CEO here.
Seems like there needs to be a class action suit for people fired and not hired, for being White men. The Red Hat dude specifically says Red Hat managers/execs were FIRED for refusing to discriminate against White men. Show this tape in court and the lawsuit should be a slam dunk. |

blatant violation of labor laws. Meanwhile the feds are going after some small moving company because he doesnt have old dudes moving boxes for 15 bucks an hour. Duh, old dudes should be in their peak earnings years at a real job, dikwads.

Funny I worked at a lot of IBM facilities, both new construction and renovation.
Guess what, it was the white male that did a very large percentage of that technical work. This is kinda like the battle between the combat military people and the peacetime ones that take over after the fighting is done and get rid of the people that actually did something. |

This happens a lot more than people realize, there is a quota system in having a certain amount of diversity within your employee population (and a lot of companies will tie it to their bonus to make sure they are doing their part). The federal gov't sets hiring standards once a company becomes a certain size and you'll go through mock OFCCP audits (office of federal contractor compliance programs) to ensure your hiring efforts are acceptable to the dept of labor.
It's racist and discriminatory but all under the umbrella of equal opportunity. My previous company was in biotech and we were trending around 7% african american, which is really good for a company of our size, but still not good enough for some leaders. That's only one example of how bad it has gotten in the hiring world. |

IBM bought out the company I worked for, so I was one of those white guys working for IBM, and one of their rainmakers. Christ, they even sent me and my mother to Morocco for a trip I won based on my production.
Then...they tried to cut my compensation to the tune of 30k+. I flipped them the bird, took a job at a boutique firm for a 51% raise, and then moved from that company to my current employer for an additional 45% raise. **** IBM. |

This isn't news. Engineering firms do it all the time. So do large oil and gas companies. Should be illegal - but racism only seems to exist if it comes from whitey. This what affirmative action and hiring quotas result in

I don't see a problem here. If you're qualified and white, just identify as Indian.

They have the whole power point presentation, including slides, at this link. Disgusting. I couldn't make it even halfway through. Best comment: https://patriots.win/p/17rmXeAJM3/ib...-salvation-/c/ Quote:

I (a white guy) was selected for an IT job at the Smithsonian Institute by their CIO (whom I had worked for at another agency) and was waiting for a start date and the CIO called me to tell me that he was over-ruled and told he had to hire a minority (somebody several slots down the "short list" of contenders). So, yeah, it happens all over.
Too bad because it would have been the coolest job I can imagine. |
