About 12 years ago I worked for a major European chemical company that was very pro homosexual. They started a push for diversification in the work force that emphasized females and POC's. At that point no white males were being hired into R&D and you could pretty much forget a promotion.
The Federal Government has exactly the same SOP.

Wells Fargo went that way 20 years ago. All those mid level mortgage brokers, white guys in their 50's went to work at Best Buy.

i must assume some dem donor coughed up some cash to make the ex-wife happy.

 

Fun fact: middle-age white male chiming in, I’m about to be forced out because I refuse to promote (already retired once 8 years ago), and even now, with all the examples of the DEI crap literally destroying businesses in the news, our company is still actively prioritizing “under represented minorities” for hiring and promotion.

I know, because I’m still a hiring manager and still get copied on the memos from corporate HR.

Hell, I may be (hope to be?) unemployed by this weekend! LoL.

My accountant wife’s freaking out because it’ll be tough to replace the rather nice lifestyle this role has afforded us, but I think she’ll be pleasantly surprised by the reduction in stress in my life…and by extension our marriage of almost 40 years.

This job is slowly killing me…literally with the stress, and metaphorically/psychologically with the forced acceptance of pretty radical left-wing ideology and social mores. I’ll be able to speak more freely once I’m actually out, but trust me when I say, everyone knows my employer. Good business model, but holy fuck are the internal policies out of synch with my moral compass.

I just haven’t had the balls to walk away from the rather staggering (for me anyway) sum of $$ thrown my way over the past 8 years since retiring from the AF.

Yeah…”muh pension!” is a real factor, especially when I factor in the obligations to my kids and health care.

It’s harder than I thought it’d be to walk away from a comfortable life.
