No kidding? They might as well say “pain in the ass/cunt”.

Were I in charge of hiring, I'd be very grateful to these people for self-selecting out of the candidate pool.

Also if you were applying for jobs being up against these types is a real bonus.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Agree.

[–]trident765 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I sometimes fantasize about making my pronouns slight misspellings such as hee/heem/hees. Would people have to respect it? Could I correct people if they refer to me as "him" instead of "heem"?

[–]Beezeybub 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Excuse me sir, my correct pronoun is heezie.

sneako said he wants to be modded.

Succinct.

This may happen in some jobs, but it seems like most large corporations have the opposite problem. The HR departments are being taken over by far left extremists. Diversity hiring is just the tip of the iceburg. They are forcing reeducation classes to indoctrinate as many people as possible with propaganda that is completely irrelevant to the position. They are putting out propaganda posters, staging "events", and encouraging political activism against the company.

It is destroying these companies.

Thank Blackrock and their ESG initiatives for that. Once they get a majority position on the board, they start pushing this crap. I think the object IS to destroy these companies. Maybe they want the stock price to tank so they can buy more? I dunno, it doesn't make sense.

[–]Canbot 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

I don't think ESG is a major vector for this compared to the HR blitz. They got control of the certification system and made it so most of the pool of candidates for HR positions are trained antagonists. I haven't seen anything in the way of evidence for why they are doing this, but I suspect they target the competition while insulating their own investments.

Vanguard has recently announced that they are abandoning the ESG strategy. I consuder vanguard and blackrock to be owned by the same group.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

The thing is, once the shareholders want to push stuff, the CEO and the C suite can order HR management to hire X, Y and Z. Remember the golden rule: Those who own the gold make the rules.

Also about Vanguard and all news stories: you don't know what's true and what they're really going to do. Believe nothing.

[–]Canbot 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

It's not that simple. These are trained antagonists who know how to use spcific language to blackmail the companies into doing a lot of things against their will. The courts have already established precedent in ruling on behalf of the antagonists. The HR plants are not just ideological morons, they are agents of a well organized, rugged, highly specialized, well researched and competent strategy. That strategy includes conditioning everyone to avoid confronting woke actions out of fear and confusion. It includes establishing a culture where injustice framed in the language of "inclusion and diversity" is allowed. It is very difficult to unfuck a company from the woke agenda.

So, governments are literally dictating what the company does, and who they hire? Then why does Walmart have a poor ESG rating as a company?

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Your words, not mine. You obviously chose those words because they are extreme and you can use that to claim it's not true because the government does not hand pick employees. But afirmative action laws exist and they do constitute the government "dictating" whom you are hiring.

There are a lot of laws like that which can be wielded like weapons by bad actors. Not to mention economic attacks using cancel culture, or other assets like sanctions by banks, investors, and suppliers controlled by the adversarial party.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Absolutely. But ESG is another Trojan horse from the inside to enforce woke ideology, and it's obvious. That's not coming from government directly as far as we know, but I'm sure the DNC is all over it, and by virtue of that, the federal government and blue states.

So if anything, it's a proxy for the DNC.

Even so HR still need to do their job and they are the ones who are going to have to deal with these crazies when the shit goes down.

Likely a lot of the woke in HR departments will just become Highlander type queen bees clearing out the other special snowflakes so they can be the only one.

One need only look as far as Disney.

[–]Chipit 11 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

A wise move. The applicant is advertising that zimselves will do nothing but cause trouble, file complaints against other, productive workers and the office will become a Maoist struggle session.

And for what? So some mentally unstable person can live out her illness in public?

[–]1Icemonkey 7 insightful - 7 fun7 insightful - 6 fun8 insightful - 7 fun -  (10 children)

First thing we do when hiring someone, and we use Indeed, is we search them online. Looking for bong rips and purple hair. Also, when it comes to hiring women, we look for Facebook pics of their black kids because that’s an automatic nope.

[–]Bonn1770 5 insightful - 5 fun5 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

When I worked in HR I would take half the resumes and throw them away. I did not want unlucky people working for us.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 4 fun2 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 4 fun -  (8 children)

What if she's Black?

[–]Evola 6 insightful - 5 fun6 insightful - 4 fun7 insightful - 5 fun -  (1 child)

Did he stutter?

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

B-b-b-but, she m-m-m-might be okay.

[–]1Icemonkey 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

We don’t hire retarded, lazy thieves.

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

That makes sense.
What if she's Black?

[–]1Icemonkey 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Blacks are retarded (average IQ of 85), they are def lazy and they steal more than every other race. Combined.

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Not all of them.

Also what about Zionists? I can't think of any worse ideology, all about industrial, state, usury, and corporate theft.

[–]1Icemonkey 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Ah yes, das juden. I definitely look out for them as well. Hire the fucker to sweep the floors and somehow it will get into your accounting and suck you dry.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

There are more Christian Zionists on Earth than Jewish Zionists, but there are mostly "Jews" (authentic or not) at the top of all establishment hierarchies.

The comments under that article were brutal. Haha. Ain't nobody buying that inclusion bullshit.

[–]Alphix 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Careful, that reads in libtalk, "YOU'RE NOT RAMMING IT DOWN OUR THROATHS HARD ENOUGH! HAAARRDDDEEEEERRRR!!!"

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm not afraid of woketards.

[–]BISH 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I can only imagine the cringe of having a new employee introduce themselves, and their pronouns.

HR fucked up.

[–]UncleWillard56 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

"...over 80% of nonbinary people believe that identifying as nonbinary would hurt their job search. Similarly, 51% believe their gender identity has affected their workplace experience 'very or somewhat negatively.'"

What you believe and what you can prove are two different things. I'm not saying there's not som bias there, but I doubt if it's about identity, it's more about hiring people who don't immediately sound like they're going to be an HR problem day one. Non-binary people are probably more likely (I have no sourcer but anecdotal) to run to HR because someone didn't respect their pronouns. Who wants to deal with that shit? They are the Karens of the LGBT community and you know they're going to the manager.

Also sounds like MSM is getting bored with the trans community and picked a new victim of the week to talk about.

It doesn't take long for corporations to figure out who the troublemakers, cry bullies and drama queens are. The highest mental illness rates are lgbtq identified people.

[–]IMissPorn 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I wonder what effect including regular pronouns has. To me that's still a red flag, albeit a lesser one.

[–]hfxB0oyA 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

And this comes as a surprise to nobody except disingenuous journalists.

The company I work for isn’t publicly traded, but is large enough within our particular industry to be very visible.

Which means that we have employee groups for the They/Thems and basically anyone who isn’t white and straight.

They get to attend monthly meetings and happy hours, where they get to complain about how hard their lives are as they get paid to skip work.

[–]Yagihige 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Good.

Neither do gender studies or critical race theory degrees.

I'm hiring a 120 grand person now. Specialty engineer. If I found ANY crap like this on the CV/resume to the trash bin it goes. Same rule most all have for "never fuck crazy".

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I'd like to apply for that specialty engineer job.
My pronouns are unqualified/incompetent.

The posting is for Glass Industry Process QAQC Engineer and here's the funny = on LinkedIn I'm up to about 8 applying and in my posting I make it VERY clear that commercial glass industry experience is mandatory. Required. All 8 applicants? = Zero glass industry experience just flat fuck none. Chemical and electrical and retired military and such. Never picked up a piece of glass in their life. Have no fuck idea.

Both featured a gender-ambiguous name, 'Taylor Williams.' The only difference between the test and control resumes was the presence of gender pronouns on the test version," McGonagill said in the report. "The test resume included "they/them" pronouns under the name in the header." She/her and he/him pronouns were not tested.

The phantom resume including pronouns received 8% less interest than the one without, and fewer interview and phone screening invitations.

Seems out of step with the headline. Could be that putting "pronouns" is what hurts your job prospects, rather than which you specify. I wouldn't put my star sign on a job application either. Seems irrelevant.

Actually it could be something to do with companies not wanting to get sued - there are rules in many places in the world where companies are legally obligated to not discriminate on the basis of "protected characteristics". To some degree these can be inferred or predicted from stuff you're supposed to put on your CV - like your education and work history is predictive of your age, but if you explicitly put your age on your CV, and age is a "protected characteristic", could be some companies just put it in the bin, so they can't be accused of favouring people based on their age.
