Human Resources is another one too. Nearly every Fortune 500 firm seems to have a "VP of Diversity Programs", and they're all Black or Hispanic women, lol. |

Im currently working at a government RDT&E facility with over 1000 employees and probably less than 10% of the employees are minorities.
If minorities are "given" as many jobs as you guys are claiming then im not seeing them. |

The way AA works is you have to have a certain # of minorities in relation to how many minorities live in your area. If your city is 10% minorities and the company is following AA, they are only required to have 10% of the workforce as minorities. Well, that's the super summed up version, but you get the idea. ![]() |

Yes and it doesn't matter if there is a white male with better qualifications that ALSO needs a job applying for the same exact position which I think is 100% BS. If you're more qualified you should get the job PERIOD regardless of race or gender imho. Yep I'm still bitter and that was over 20 years ago. ![]() |

(sarcasm on)
I am amazed that white people are able to get HR departments to tell them why they were not hired. Usually when you don't get a job, you get a simple letter stating "Thanks...but no Thanks" (sarcasm off) The best is when someone has a friend at a company they apply to and after not getting hired they find out from a friend that a minority got hired. Friend at company: "Well they obviously chose him because of affirmative action!!" |

![]() ![]() Someone that worked at that company I met a few years later through a mutual friend and that's how I found out. He remembered me and we had a talk about it and confirmed what I already had assumed. Bottom line was "we had to hire them but we didn't have to hire you". |
