It's called corruption. As engineers we can see real work that each person is doing. When someone who is a diversity hire hasn't written any code for months after starting it is obvious but management will look the other way. People want money and tech pays more than almost every other job. Once a bad seed criminal type gets into management they can do a lot of damage. They will slaughter anyone who might expose them in order to stay employed. When you read about companies with one year average tenure and can't understand it, this is why. They want people just smart enough to do a little bit of work but not smart enough to expose the corruption. The company will just get sold or go out of business like thousands have before. Some would say it's even part of the dying process of a company.
- cesarbs 11y ago> When someone who is a diversity hire What are you trying to imply here?
- codeonfire 11y agoI'm not implying anything. It means what is says.
- partyingcat 11y agoindeed sir there is implication here with the added adjective of "diversity"
- codeonfire 11y agoThat's what one part of the original post was about.
- cesarbs 11y agoThat "diversity" you put there is really snarky. You seem to be implying that non-diversity (which you're very likely thinking of as white males) hires all perform well and only diversity hires underperform.
- codeonfire 11y agoNope. The original post is about fake engineers hired due to political correctness against recommendations, i.e. diversity hires. I made no statement or implications about non-diversity hires.
