How are you implementing fairness and inclusion in your personal hiring?

[lightbulb27]

Like when you hire lawn maint crew, or contractors... do you try to look for different races, genders, religions, etc? Do you even care or do you care about the quality of work, reputation, trust, cost? Would you favor say... a lesbian/black/white/jewish/muslim/male/female cake baker over someone else? Or do you only care about reputiation, quality of product, cost?

The US government may not be imposing requirements on corporations, but you can certainly be hiring people of all classifications and differentiations. You get the dollar vote!

To me the answer is obvious. I've never asked someone if they are LGBTQ! straight or anything else. I don't care. I want to know the cake they bake is good quality, within cost I'll pay. I didn't ask my water service company about their hiring policies... it's none of my business.

But you can... if that's what you believe.

Wow, you really can draw a straight line for a straight white male... ahemm.

I choose contractors/vendors based upon my fairness policies

I choose based upon reputation, cost, quality... don't care about being gender/race/religious balanced.

I've been taken to court for lack of DEI practices in my businesses and I've won every single one of those waste-of-time battles.

Hiring in my companies are conducted to find & secure qualified people based on exceptional job skills, capabilities, pleasing personalities, more-than-satisfactory testimonials, etc.

Sue me if I don't give a hoot about your race, gender, religious preferences and whatever else woke crap you fuss about and I'll counter sue and your attention-seeking lawyers with my exceptional & undefeated legal team until you beg for mercy.

[lightbulb27]

unreal, that kind of garbage is disgusting. I'm glad you are winning, but what a waste of resource. when you win, they are paying your legal fees?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I countersued those organizations & lawyers that pushed the idiots into thinking they have a legitimate & winning case to try on me. My lawyers bled those woke bastards and their lawyers dry. I just wanted them all to regret that they messed with me and that I'm here to teach them that businesses can fight back instead of just taking it.

[lightbulb27]

it's amazing how the game is really about money, never liked lawyers, but they come in handy.

Have you ever seen the movie "my blue heaven?"

Steve Martin is a mafioso guy trying to go straight and he's in the witness protection program. Going straight isn't easy for a guy like that so he had his struggles. He ended up with a big pile of cash and the district attorney and the FBI wanted to know how he got it. Steve said he was raising money to build a little league baseball field for the kids in the neighborhood.
So now he had to go through with it. So while the sod layers were out on the field, Steve gave them some expert advice. " Fellas, remember, the green side goes up, always the green side goes up."

So if you're a sod layer, and you can't figure out that the green side goes up, you're most likely a DEI hire.

Haha youd be surprised to know some people have no common sense.

Competence. Only competence.

I actually refuse to hire companies that employ based on quotas instead of excellence. I won't fly on airlines who hire pilots based on diversity. I want to know the best candidate is controlling the plane, not the most ideologically suitable. Ditto for building my house. Or fixing my electricity issues.

Equality of outcome results in utterly shit quality.

I got a lot of work on my house over the last 2 or 3 years. I talk to the contractor and ask lots of questions. I always get 3 references, They got extra points of they liked the Trump 2024 sign in my front yard.

Thanks for the MHO

[Agape93]

I don't. If you can do the job sufficiently then I'll hire you. Idgaf what race, gender or whatever you are.

[OneViewpoint]

I screen for MAGA cultists and tell them I decided to go in another direction.

Considering race in hiring decisions is racist.

Considering gender in hiring decisions is sexist.

DEI policies are racist and sexist and should be illegal.

[IslaTheWitch]

skills and experience...

[SmokinAces2000]

Id make sure that everyone has a fair chance of getting the job and that the workplace consisted of people with different backgrounds

[Dargil]

I include applying skills and competence.
