Default CEO blasted for saying "merit over diversity" in hiring

This country has officially become insane.

The Snowflake CEO said during an interview that "merit is more important than diversity" with regards to hiring. He was blasted and has since walked back his statement.

WTF kind of planet am I living in?

He was right, though. People should be hired based on their merit, not their skin color, gender (especially if they're confused about their gender), sexuality, etc. What do you bring to the table? Value? You're hired. Do you simply check a box? Keep on stepping.

The remarks put Slootman in conflict with the positions staked out by much of corporate America, where many leaders have pledged to make their companies mirror the nation’s demographics. Advocates for diversity point to research from consultant McKinsey & Co. that has found that companies with more diverse leadership are more likely to outperform the profitability of those that are the least diverse. And this year has seen a record for diversity-related proposals offered by shareholders at annual meetings.

But the research shows diversity is the way to go for profitability

If that's true, why is the NBA 90% black? Why isn't diversity needed there?

The main fault I see with this CEO is the fact that he walked back his statement. THAT is the REAL problem this nation is facing. Say what you belive and believe what you say. Own it and FK those that choose to disagree. If more did this, PC would be reduced to a history lesson.

Remember when a bunch of folks fled Europe to escape all the bullshit and settled in a New World? Maybe history is about to repeat itself, and all the sane people will pack up and leave the festering shithole that our once-great country has become. The only question is WTF will we go?

Your "WTF will we go" is nowhere. There isn't any place left to go. That's why this will lead to a new kind of civil war for the US. It won't be about Armies fighting but civilians fighting. the country will be broken up into factions. The big cities will be ruled by the left until they can't supply what they've promised. They'll try to raid and steal from the smaller working cities and farms.

Remember the movie " The Postman "

Hungary, Czech, and Poland are options.

All went from Communist to rather capitalist. They know.
